Wants to be an Insider

Re The Other Six Days, June 

From a person who has had to move a lot, therefore experiencing many different churches:

I have read the Bible and do not find a commandment to serve the church. Rather, we are told to serve God. 

I find that in a new church (to us) the “jobs” and “positions” are already “taken” and it takes from three to five years to become accepted. Members, when they need help (for bake sales, etc.), call on the people they already know. Newcomers are left with nothing to do. 

I do not regard church as a social club. I want to work for God. If I have to work outside the church, why go to church? I want to be an insider, not an onlooker.
