Church, Part 3

There is good news!

We have found a church.

After a couple months of grieving and frustration, John found it! It was a church that was meeting on Sunday nights in a local school auditorium. He went one Sunday night and loved it. He came home and asked if he could go to the pasta party at the pastor's house. Ok....I said. The pastor lives about 3 blocks away. John went and got to meet lots of people and ask lots of questions. He came home pretty pumped up.

I went the following Sunday night and wept as I felt the Spirit of the Lord just surrounding this body of believers.

The church is called Crossroads Community Church.

We've been attending for nearly 2 months now and have had confirmation after confirmation that this is where God wants us.

I will continue to share what God is doing here, but realized I had left everyone hanging with a sad story. So here is the happy ending! (Or really, the happy beginning.....)

We are making friends and connecting deeply with other believers. We are being challenged to find a place to serve. We are being called into a deeper and more loving relationship with our Father. We are being loved and cared for.

It is good.

This last Sunday, Crossroads had the opportunity to move to another location. They are now meeting in the school just across the street from us on Sunday mornings. The attendance DOUBLED (at least) on this opening Sunday. My soul was ecstatic! I get such joy in watching God draw people to Him and His church.

We are blessed.
