my church

i can retell the path of how we got here,
but i can't explain it.


how do you explain the story of the man i married,
who went from unchurched, non-believer
to follower of jesus?
was it the music?
was it our dynamic pastor?
no
it was grace.


it was God reaching for our hands
to pull us into a place
where we have found...

fellowship
love
acceptance

hearing jon worship God in song, starts each week for me.
he is singing with the praise band,
but he is singing for his Savior


we love that God has brought us to a place
where our children will grow and learn.
they will know Jesus
here.


in this place i have met the most wonderful people.
God's plan is revealed
and we hold up our hands to accept the gifts.

thank you st. john's

Sounds like we have very similar stories. Our church has become a second home and family. I thank God for it every day!
