Dee,
I'm so happy to read that you've found a church. And I love The
Red Hat Society, their concept of enjoying life is one to
behold! Have fun in your new church. God Bless! Perhaps, I'll find a church home again some day!

Dee, anxious to hear how today went. You joined, right?

I love the images your site has on the homepage. Makes it very inviting.

Do they have a reception for new members? Many others join with you? I can't wait to hear.

Hey ya'll...yesterday was so much fun...At the end of the service our Pastor called me up and introduced me to the congregation. He told them how I'd started volunteering for the church before becoming a visitor and he thought that was so cool. I chocked back a few tears as I felt the spiritual, loving embrace of the church and its people accept me and as everyone came by to shake my hand at the back of the church, I had the most warm-hearted experience...so many warm people welcoming me and it just reaffirmed everything I felt from day one...this is where I belong. Yesterday afteroon a woman named Dianne called me to welcome me and we chatted about half an hour...she was so sweet and gave me information about different committees that are available for helping others. I think Wednesday nights are going to be taken from now on at my church...a social pot-luck supper and bible study and there's also a group that meets who have/had addiction problems...they come for support and to share their wonderful recovery stories. I'm told that is really special to watch.
Well, I feel God in my heart, I joined the church, I have the mug and I even bought the T-shirt (yes we have mugs and t-shirts)...:) So, it's official...and I'm soooooooooooo excited!
Jabber...keep looking...never give up...one day it will find you.
Dotsie...I'll let Pastor Rob know how much you like the web site.
Love and hugs

Someday, the Holy Spirit will lead to a home church, I believe!
And I hope I'm as happy as you, Dee!

Dee, I once worked at a church and was responsible for the visitors and new members. Your situation brings such joy to my heart. It's so neat to hear about someone embracing their church and their Lord! Tell us more. How's it going?

jabber, I haven faith that you will one day be guided to a church community where you feel blessed!

Dee,

I am so happy to hear that you have found a church home. That is so important. The feeling you described is the one my husband and I had when we walked into the church we currently attend (about 8 years ago.) We love it there. There are many different age groups, a good outreach ministry and many ways that we have been able to get involved. The Word is preached and I love the worship music.

I'm so glad for you, Dee. Blessings to you.
