Also, since I've started playing an online game (Lord of the Rings), the extra 'U' has started invading my words like armour, colour, and behaviour.

Inviting them to activities outside of services is important, but you have to genuinely want to be their friend, and not see them as an outreach project. As for the gossiping aspect of church fellowship, this is a little harder. People want to bash it, but then do it themselves. The preacher will even speak about it, but right after service it's happening still. I've known maybe two girls from the church I grew up in who absolutely refused to gossip and that's awesome; however, people like them need to stand up against gossip more. If someone is gossiping around me or to me, I usually try to change the subject. If it were to go on it's a good idea to say something to let them know I'm not comfortable, if necessary I'll leave the room and make sure they know why. (This is not to say I've never been guilty of gossip, I'm not perfect by any means).

I remember learning it in elementary school, but it must have been phased out earlier than the others. I nearly forgot about that one.
