Church update

After a recent comment on my last post, I realized that I failed to draw a close to our search for a new church home.  Not long after I took a hiatus from posting, Mary and I found our new church home at First Baptist Church, Hendersonville.  We joined the church in August and God has confirmed our decision over and over.  There’s a strong sense that God is moving in our church and while it is big, even bigger things are on the horizon.

FBC offers a great place to come and be feed as believers.  But the one thing that we hear constantly is that as Christians, we don’t come to a building to “do” church.  The programs and the events are nice and serve a purpose, but our role as a community of believers is to equip and encourage each other to make a difference for God in our community and beyond.  I’m actually going with a group led by Mark Satterfield in June to Honduras on a medical mission trip.  Don’t ask me why I’m going on a medical mission trip, I just felt God urging me to go, Mark asked, so here we go!

I’m very thankful that we’ve found a place that we can worship, learn, grow and fellowship in an accepting atmosphere.  I’m thankful for our leaders and the people that are making a positive difference for my family and others like us.  I’m excited to see what God has in store for us as we continue to learn and work together.

What about you?  What’s going in your church that you’re excited about?
