first visit to our new church

 Check out that pose.  She was really feeling confident in her outfit that morning!

We have really loved Hope, but we were looking for something smaller.  We felt like we were learning about God but not really "plugged in" with a small group.  Small groups have been "closed", so we couldn't get in one.  So, we decided to visit a (much) smaller church five minutes from home and see how we felt about it.  What a great decision that was!  We immediately saw people we knew, enjoyed the down to earth message, liked how Biblically based the culture of the church is, and how friendly the people were.  We've been going ever since, but more on that later!
