Fwiw, when I got off of Facebook my family decided to explore local churches and found one that has been great. We've made about the same amount of friends there in 6 months that we did living here for 13 years without going there. Plenty of activities too.
When I was on Facebook I found that I was spending significantly more time chatting it up with my friends from college who are all over the country. Not that I don't want to keep in touch with them, but I'd rather be more social with people I can do things with.
Facebook gives you a social crutch. You have to get rid of it and create that gap to feel the need to fill it with something else.
- icebraining 9y agoWhat kind of activities does your church organize?
- brightball 9y agoSocially, the church itself doesn't do anything other than a big BBQ every year. Other than that the churchwide events are all very much on-mission (mission trips, charity work, youth activities). Sunday school classes tend to be where the social aspects come from. We'll do a day at the lake or a get together for a meal and some activity. We've gotten together with one or two other couples to get dinner and do an escape room, shoot targets at a guys farm, gotten the kids together to play. Even got invited to a dueling piano bar, which caught me by surprise since I assumed that would be frowned on. Turns out most grown adults are perfectly content to go have a drink, just not many.
