Not The Ugly Church

It is not the ugly church. What it is is the welcoming church, the incredibly uplifting church, the musical church, the church where everyone is accepted. New Beginnings is the church I am drawn to, to bring teens and friends who are not going to church to. Once, someone hears Pastor Sean preach from his IPad it is hard not to keep coming back for more.

Okay, so I now go to 2 churches. Ron and I attend the Methodist church at 8:30 and love the ministry and family there, then a quick coffee stop and over to New Beginnings we go with Natalie at 10:30. My heart has told me that I should bring specific people to NB but it has been a sluggish past 5 months for me. Amazingly, as I walked in the door on 2 separate occasions the very people God put on my heart to invite were already there. Seeing how Sean and Lanessa and Jeremy have reached out to those in our community, so in need of Christ walking beside them in life, gives me hope. Ryan would have loved this church. My prayer is that 1 day soon Tanner will be standing beside me worshipping the God that I know won't be ignored in his life. So I can be comforted that his future and eternity are secured.

This church family is even accepting of us, the rare double Sunday morning dippers. Is it wrong to go to both? My heart says no. I am fed in different ways by each of these loving families. My ministry is leading me more and more to New Beginnings for the teens God is putting on my heart. Until He shows me another way, I guess Ron and I will see you all in our church homes.

In Him,
Joyful
