I used to love mine, but then our pastor left as did many of my friends there, and then came the pandemic, and since then I've just been attending several services via livestream (my church and a couple of others I would love to switch to except they're not in my neck of the woods). It's not the same as live, but I'm grateful for the technology that has made it possible to at least attend virtually.Great-Granny Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984367859984906071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-18924010593257080002022-05-05T11:49:04.986-05:002022-05-05T11:49:04.986-05:00Loved your comment on my post today.

Changing churches can be really hard and sometimes we need a "push" to make that decision. Your new one seems a perfect fit for you and I like that the pastor visited you. We changed churches for a number of reasons after 14 years of being so involved. One thing I like about our new one is the worship that combines old hymns with newer songs. the people who do this are very talented in working the words together. I also really like the sermons that are expository going verse by verse and everything centered around Jesus ...not "it's all about us and our feelings". We still have our small group meetings from our old church because they are like family. Dave and I are seeking where to serve at the new one. We are not content to just "occupy a pew". Waiting is sometimes the hardest part.<br />Thanks for sharing this Linda..I think we think a lot alike.<br />Suephotowannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12405161931048657683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-8839178626047285482022-05-03T18:02:46.112-05:002022-05-03T18:02:46.112-05:00It sounds like your hubby might have found the per...It sounds like your hubby might have found the perfect church for the two of you.

This one sounds like a good one.<br />We we moved here we attended a few different churches and when we walked into the one we now go to, we knew it was the right one. <br />We sing all the old hymns, friendly people, and a pastor who teaches the Bible and lives it. <br />happyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186179870233267082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909082640346689518.post-54000221855976390042022-05-03T15:41:32.620-05:002022-05-03T15:41:32.620-05:00God does have a plan for you, and I believe this n...God does have a plan for you, and I believe this new church was in his plan.
