One More Thing...

I thought I would dedicate a separate post to announcing that Jenifer and I have (finally) found a new church home! For the past several months we have been visiting a number of different churches throughout the Saint Louis area, and in the last few weeks we had narrowed it down to a decision between two very cool congregations.

The Journey is a church with a dynamic worship service geared primarily to young professionals, although there were a fair number of middle-aged folks there as well. We loved the music and the relavent, thoughtful, and scripture-intensive sermons, and we felt like it would be a place where we could really be fed, spiritually and intellectually.

But ultimately we have fallen in love with New City Fellowship. This congregation is so exciting in so many ways! It's extremely diverse, with large minority and immigrant populations, and accomplishing reconciliation across racial, social, and economic lines. They have several amazing ministries, including The Freedom School, a private Christian academy with a special heart for children of immigrants, refugees, and economically disadvantaged parents. They also sponsor missionaries in Africa, Peru, and England. Ultimately, we see in New City Fellowship a place where we will not only be fed, but where we will be able to serve God in ways that just wouldn't be as available elsewhere.

So we're just really excited and we feel tremendously blessed to have a new church family to get to know.
