Can I just say that I love my church and the intentionality of community that it fosters?! Ever since joining Door of Hope back in September I have been amazed every week by the hospitality and friendliness that they have exhibited. This weekend really proved how great the people are. I had texted a friend that I had made a few weeks ago and asked what she was doing this weekend, to which she replied that she was going to Astoria for a day trip with a group from church and if I wanted to go. I was able to go and was very happy with that choice.
The weather was beautiful for us all day, and the rainbow that presented itself for our enjoyment was equally gorgeous. It was such a blessing to spend the day out in God's creation with a great group of people. We found a great little coffee shop and spent about an hour or so there just fellowshipping and reading.
To finish off the day we went to a game night that included more people from church. I woke up this morning and tried to say something and my voice was sore and it took me a minute to realize why, it was because I hadn't laughed and talked so much in one day in a while.
Then there was church this morning. Two of the people I met yesterday were greeters and told me where the group was sitting and told me that there was plenty of space and I should sit with them, so I did. It was so nice to have a group to sit with, instead of wondering where to sit and sitting by myself. After church we all went to a Market/Bazaar type thing and looked around.
The sermon was also amazing this morning talking about the word Covenant and its Biblical meaning. It so good!!
The food, fellowship and fun had by all was nourishing to the soul. Its so nice to have community.
