A Church Adventure: Week 29 & 30
For week 29, Brenda was asked to serve communion, so we were glad to assist and be at our home church. It had felt like we had not been there in about 3 or 4 months, it actually was only two months. It was great to see everyone and worship at home. We also learned that the Church will be hosting an open house in the future to feature the newly remodeled Manse and to meet a Pastoral candidate. The Pastoral candidate will then be preaching on the following Sunday and a congregational vote will follow. This is exciting times for our Church and I am really excited to meet who the Pastoral Nominating Committee feels is a great fit for our Church.
The following week, #30. We traveled due north about 15 minutes to a United Church of Christ. The community we were visiting was also having an apple festival, which explained the skeleton crew that lead worship, they were having a second worship service later in the early evening. But the music was great, the message was brought to us through a children ran puppet ministry. It was a very friendly and comfortable place of worship. I was amazed at how many of it’s members had no idea where Valencia was located. Quite a few families were inquisitive in whether we were new to the area, more so than at any of the other churches we have visited. Worship was comfortable, friendly and quaint.
This week(#31) is a VPC week in our adventure. It always feels good to return to our home location of worship. It will be good to see everyone and meet/vote for our candidate for Pastor and his terms of call.
