Church

So, after a brief, unsuccessful church hunt last year I found a new church near my house at Uni at the start of this year. To begin with, everything was great- they were all really friendly, I like the style of worship, it's maybe not as modern as I'd like but I really agree with their theological stance and its great to be at a church with such a passion for social justice. The problem is, they have a student night on Wednesdays which I can't make it to because of DDSF. Its beginning to feel like they're never going to see me as 'part' of the students at church, and the rest of the church just seem to presume that the students are keeping an eye 0n me. There's a christmas meal next week which someone semi-invited me to last week but didn't mention where or when, I found out today it's fancy dress as everyone else was discussing their costumes and still noone invited me. They then all went round one guy's house for lunch, and another girl is having a party tonight but... you got it! no invitation. I found out today that there's an email list which you can get on but I guess I had kind of hoped that someone would have told me about it. I've never really had to integrate into a new church before as Dad being a minister means everyone knew who I was so it was never really a problem but this is really starting to get me down. I may be chatty, but I hate asserting myself. I just wish churches realised that the welcome team need to focus on more than you're first sunday- it's really integrating into the church that's hard. (especially if, like me it's a completely new tradition, I'm brought up methodist but now at a high anglican church.)
I don't know if anyone even reads this but if so, any advice would be appreciated. comment away!!
