Update about church for us

Since we arrived here, we've been "church searching." We've been to quite a few and just didn't feel like the Lord was leading us to one. We had many friends advise us that we just needed to "pick one" so the boys and us could be settled before it's time to leave again. Well, a couple of weeks ago Brian and I were at a loss as to where to go on Sunday. So, on a whim, I asked Ian out of all the churched we'd visited which one he would rather go back to. He said right away - Frazer. Frazer is a Methodist church that some friends of ours from Virginia go to and they have a son who was in his class and he really enjoyed it. As far as the worship service - it was most like what we enjoy so we decided to visit again. It's a BIG church - 6 worship services (2 going on simultaneously each hour, one is contemporary and one is traditional), have to take a cart in from the parking lot, and the childrens section is amazing. Anyway, we've been going there for the last two Sundays and feel like that's where we're going to stay. Josh has had a good experience with the youth, Ian really enjoys his class and Brian and I have been going to a small group Sunday school class. Ian played soccer at Frazer and he's signed up to play basketball there, too. So, although we aren't methodist, we feel led to continue to go to church there. Now we're just trying to decide if we go ahead and join for our last months here or not.

Hey, Bob went to Frazer when he was stationed at Gunter (before we met and married)!

I have negative prejudiced feelings about it, LOL, but only because Bob was sort of engaged to this floozy from there (LOL! No strong feelings there!)! Of course, if she hadn't been such a cheating jerk, then they would have gotten married, and obviously Bob and I would NOT have, so . . . all is good. Whew! LOL!

Seriously, I am so glad you have found a place to settle. I hate the feeling of not knowing where to go each Sunday. That is the hardest part of moving for me!
