Our new home church...our new family

For the past few months Jared and I have been attending a home church.  We have always wondered what a home church would be like and when we were invited by a wonderful friend we thought, why not check it out? From the first day we stepped foot into this warm, cozy home, we have felt very welcomed and loved. There are maybe between 30-40 members who are SO on fire for Jesus. Jared and I have attended very large churches for as long as we can remember so this is definetely a change. But a very refreshing one! The first day we attended, the  youth led worship and both Jared and I were brought to tears. Their worship was so authentic and simple. There prayers were so heartfelt and real. We were blown away! Everyone is so full of joy in that place. One of the first things I noticed was the radiating joy that shined on their faces. You really can feel the love in that place! Something else we really loved about this church was the incredible deep love and concern for orphans. There are four families that have adopted internationally, and another who has been a foster mom. The church has also just commited to fully funding a school and orphanage in Nepal. After a couple of months, it was clear to both Jared and myself that we had found our new church home.
The support and love we feel from this church is like nothing we have ever experienced.
We feel blessed!
