For the past three months Anthony and I have been exploring the art of "church hunting." It has been both frustrating and lonely until this morning. For the first time we attended a church and I could see myself there.
Our quest for a new church home was a decision we made before we got married. Both of our families attended churches and rather than decide whose side we would join, we wanted to have a fellowship which would be ours rather than mine or his home church. While I agreed with this decision, it became increasingly difficult when we were attending church after church and not finding anything we liked. We really wanted a church with other newlywed couples, contemporary worship, good Biblical teaching and close enough to our new home in Long Beach so we could have fellowship with those in our area.
Now I don't want to be too hasty to say this new church is the one we've decided on, because we didn't get a chance to hear the senior pastor preach this morning. However, we've decided to attend again next week & I'm excited.
(Lastly, I purposely didn't mention the name of the church... just in case it's not the one for us.)
