The Life Church - my new home

I already found a church family to be a part of while I am here in Idaho.  I had driven by this church on Wednesday on my way to SV, took notice of it, and then found it listed in a magazine I picked up.  There were a few different options, places I wanted to try out, but The Life church was my first instinct.  I walked in the door and was greeted cheerfully by Linda, the associate pastor’s wife, who subsequently introduced me to every person who walked by us.  It’s a very small church that meets in really small room, and I loved it.  

They had a Thanksgiving service, so instead of the pastor teaching, it was open to all the body to share their thanksgivings.  It was beautiful.  Non stop people sharing about what God has done in their lives in the last year, and beyond.  I was so blessed, because the people were completely honest about their failings and weaknesses, but had all encountered God and their lives changed.  People who have come out of divorces, addictions, abuse, etc... but truly encountered God.  They all expressed how this body of believers, and the pastors had supported them and truly been a family for each other. 

After church I was invited to lunch with a group of about 5 single ladies between the ages of 25 and 60, and we had a blast.  We laughed a lot, and I look forward to more time spent together.  I had invitations to send Thanksgiving with a few different folks, though I will be working that night.  I don’t feel that I have to look any further for a church to attend while I’m here.  Yay!!!
