New Church Home and a Couple Small Groups

Jason and I have been going to a new church since about January or February. We liked the church we had been going to but weren't getting connected (after many attempts at small groups, bible studies and serving regularly) and after a while the messages and the music both weren't speaking to me. So after some discussion we decided to scope out some other options kind of with the idea that we may be back to our original church.  After just one time at Mission Hills we fell in love! It was big like we both like and the music was amazing. The messages were speaking loudly to both of us and the church just "felt" right.  I couldn't be more excited! As we continued to go I would feel completely lifted up and closer to God after leaving, almost as much as when I was back at Willow!

Since then we have signed up for a couples small group which meets on Sunday nights that we love.  There's only 3 other couples but everyone is so down to earth and we feel we all just clicked. It seems like we're all in different places in our walk with God but all in similar places in our lives looking for similar things from group but most importantly wanting to grow in the Word.  Yay!

I also joined a woman's small group that meets every other week on Wednesday nights which we've only met once but also seems like such an answer to prayer! Everyone seems very open and excited to grow together and in our walk.  I wish we met every week but am so excited to get going with this and get to know everyone.  It's been about 5 years since my last women's group so it's about time I got connected again!  Another yay!

Next up is finding a place to serve both in the church and in the community.  But in the meantime I am so excited about our new church home and finally getting connected!

  1. Fantastic! So happy that things are finally "clicking". So proud of you for taking the leap and following God's plan for you...even if it means many miles between us.
