A New Church Home

It's always a bit challenging finding

a new church home in another place.

Every group of Christians share so much in common...and yet it

can be so different from the

people you came to know

and love at your former

place of worship. I met Father

Thad Butcher briefly at the House a few weeks ago and had visited Zion Church a few weeks ago. Yesterday I met several people from the church at the SEWAAC conference and they encouraged me to return. During Sunday School this morning they were finishing up a DVD series put out by Focus on The Family entitled, "That the World Might Know." Ray Vander Laan, historian and teacher, leads a group to the top of Herod's Temple near Bethlehem and shares about the social climate at the time of Jesus' birth. It lead into a wonderful discussion about how as Christians we live in the shadows of seemingly powerful entities and yet the power of Christ within us is so much stronger. Herod's temple now stands in ruins, Jesus Christ is alive and well. After morning worship there was a small taste testing upstairs of foods that Karen Kronke would have adored and I had a nibble...or four. The top picture is of Judy who extended the invitation to worship and the other is with Julayne another member of Zion. Father Thad have made plans to connect soon in regards to how I can serve and I'm looking forward to that discussion.
