I just made the association of what I was trying to do earlier today, and 
how many large church congregations treat those who need help.  Not long ago 
I bought an At&t answering machine that is supposed to announce the caller's 
number and store it to be played back with the message.  It's not working 
properly.  I called their service number.  I spoke to no human being., but 
went through menu options.  I did not get the answer I needed, so I went 
online and tried to troubleshoot.  I could not find the model number, so I 
used one that sounded close.  I'm not satisfied.  I need a human being!

I heard somewhere that after September 11, many people tried out 
congregations, but gave up and left because they did not find the help they 
needed.  If only there were more small, open groups like yours!
