Church Search Stage 1

after praying together, i decided that i was ready to branch out.  we had decided to start with the church that is the mother church for ours (Christ community church) and ended up with a surprise visit from the pastor of their partner church downtown (christian fellowship baptist church).
this pastor was really good and it felt healthy to experience something
new.  don't know if this is the best fit for us, but it was a start on what i am beginning to believe may be a long journey.  the girls stayed with us in the service, so they were definite
ly a distraction.  i am curious how if i would have viewed things differently if they had gone to class...anyway, it's a start and i am beginning to pray again and am growing closer to God through this process, so i believe it is the right course of action for us at this time.

Hi!
We're seriously contemplating leaving the church we adore due to pastor problems and we've attended another church nearby but miss our friends and the lovely church campus...it's so wrenching!

I'll be praying that this is a match for your family...!! xxx

I'm excited to see where the Lord plants your family. Although somewhat daunting the process the end results will make it all worth the prayers and the tears, just keep moving forward in Him.

Blessings.
