No. 5...A Full Year at Orchardville

Number 5 was a big step for us. In fact, this blog was originally created to detail our journey from our previous church to this one (most of you are viewing through a URL address that says, “lookingforagoodchurch”). Part of me would like to take a moment to explain why we left our previous establishment, but in the end I suppose it doesn’t matter. Just know that for some reason God allowed us to go through a major valley. The temptation to quit church was very real. But, we are pleased to announce that at least that particular valley is done! For whatever reason, making it an entire year at Orchardville has been a big step for us. We have made a good attempt to become involved. We attended several events, I taught Sunday School and played on the worship team, and Amy has served in the nursery. I don’t know if Orchardville is where we are supposed to be forever, but it is an AWESOME church and has been a pillar of strength for us when we needed it the most. It is a place where solid biblical teaching is found. It is a growing church, and a place that we feel proud to attend. Although we still have a lot of faults, God is working on us. It is a long drive, but as the cliché says, “A Church That’s Alive is Worth the Drive!” So, Number 5...A Full Year at Orchardville!
