New Church, Christian Bands

Well, as mentioned in comments on previous posts, we decided to start attending a different church. The old one was nice, and the people there are very nice, but it was just too small and didn't have a lot for the kids. That and it was somewhat disorganized.

This new one is awesome. They are a hardcore fundamental Bible-based Baptist church. The people there are also very nice. Their Bible-study is awesome, and the whole church is very well organized. They have the Kids4Truth program on Wednesday nights that my youngest and my niece are now going to, and they love it.


We met a home-schooling family there who lives four blocks away, and there are a quite a few other home-schooling families there too. One of the guys is "discipling" me, where we go over the basic doctrines of the Bible, from the Bible. Pretty basic stuff, but there's always more to learn about it.

All-in-all we're very happy with this church. I had been checking out their website for a while, and finally got a chance to go. Their friendliness was almost weird at first. I'd say that first Wednesday night I probably had about 50-60 people come up individually and introduce themselves. Then I took the family there the following Sunday, Superbowl night, and they really liked it. Most importantly the Church, and the people that attend, are very Christ-centered.

My oldest daughter is in Maryland right now, training for Americorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps), and is going to Biloxi, MS for her first "spike" (camp), and will be working with Habitat for Humanity. Very cool!! I'm almost jealous...almost...at least the part about going to Mississippi. Can't you just imagine the duck hunting down there?!!!

I've been listening to WFZH "The Fish" (which as of Friday is now K Love), a local Christian Station, and have gotten into some Christian Bands. I just bought the Casting Crowns newest album yesterday, and I added some other tracks I like to my playlist. I hope you enjoy them. "In Wonder" by the Newsboys is my favorite right now.

I love that song!!! I am so glad this new church is working out for you. I can only humbly ask that you pray that God will direct me in changing new congregations... all in all, I just want to do God's will and I just don't know if God wants me at the one I am currently attending so that I may be molded and to help those around me, or to just go to a different kind of church altogether. a lot of unknowns right now, so thanks for the prayer!!

God Bless.
