While this is normal for young churches, at least in our experience, I am sure Ivanildo and I could have done a better job inviting our friends. Those who come love it. Deanna made soup, and even little AliceMaria ate it all up. Her mom told me she doesn’t eat like that at home. Everyone loves Deanna’s soup. And everyone likes the Alpha style of hanging out and visiting around spiritual topics for an evening.
