The last 3 years we have been so blessed by the people and pastors that make up Faith Community Church in O'Neill. It brings tears to my eyes thinking about moving on. We have developed special relationships there. When I think about our dear friend Steve Randolph, who is one of our pastors, and how He, his wife Michelle, and son Clayton have been such a blessing to us it makes it almost paralyzing to want to find a new church. Combine that with our love for pastor Paul Harder's messages and fellowshiping with our dear friends Bill and Terry Brady and Jerry and Dee Dee Doke it just makes it hard to find a new church. We have been driving the 1 hr and 30 minutes since moving to Norfolk. We know it is too far to drive for a long term basis... but due to some of the hard things going on in our life right now, we just aren't ready to let go full time! We will probably make the drive frequently over the next 6 months.
Thinking that Norfolk will be our home here on earth for a while, we decided to try a church here in Norfolk today. The service was okay. It will be the first church we attend of several before deciding on where to plug in.
My prayer is that we can find a church family that we love as deeply as our family at FCC. We would like to find a local body where we can see God working... where we can serve him mightily... where the people have a heart for people who don't yet know Jesus yet... a place that has a heart for the nations! Dear Lord, please give us a church family. Thank-you that we don't have to do life alone. Please be with us during this difficult transition. Thank-you we live in a country where we can easily find other beleivers. We love you daddy.
