Get involved beyond just attending. Work the office or usher or join small groups or sing in the choir. Get involved so people know who you are and your values first. When the old ladies start saying, “You’re such a nice young man, why aren’t you married?” they’re sniffing.

And for Heaven’s sake, offer old ladies your arm as they walk in from their cars or out of the church. Number one, they won’t fall and break a hip so it’s just good manners. Number two, this is time for them to ask why you aren’t married and to prod as old ladies do.

As in any traditional household, the real power of the community rests in the older women who run the show behind the scenes, who let others lead but keep the fires burning and the troops fed. Neglect this truth at your own peril and disappointment.
