Church

I'm feeling kind of sad that we haven't found a church home yet.  The two churches we liked the most have no kind of kids program during Sunday morning or night church after the age of 4.  So we have to take Megan with us to both services and soon we would be taking Anna too.  I wouldn't mind taking the girls to one service, but both is a little much.  For one, I miss out on learning and worshipping because I'm so concerned with keeping Megan still and quiet (she's quite a wiggle worm).  And second, I feel like there are so many other opportunities being lost by not teaching these kids through music, puppets, activities, etc. that's age appropriate to them.  She's not getting much out of an adult service at the age of 5.  

The other churches we've visited that do have children's church are missing things in other areas.  It's just difficult.  Keep us in your prayers. 

Dixie, I'm sure you'll read this at some point.  We went by the Parkway Place church yesterday to check it out.  It took us 30 minutes to get there.  The more we thought about it, we just felt like that was an awfully long way to drive to church 3 times a week plus any activities going on there.  And, when the girls made friends most moms wouldn't want to drive 30 minutes to Bryant to drop their kids off for a playdate, drive 30 minutes home, 30 minutes back to get them, and 30 minutes home again (assuming most people going to church there probably live in West LR).  We were hoping for something a little closer.  But their info on the website looks great.  Who knows, we may end up giving it a try after all.  We just miss Harrison FBC!!!  :)

If God moved us here, though, He has a church in mind for us.  We just need His direction.

I'll be praying you that God leads you to the right Church for the whole family.

I am praying! Maybe you could start a children's ministry in the church you guys end up at?? Just a crazy idea!
