Today I am thankful for my church and my church family.  We have missed church 2 weeks in a row and I feel a little out of touch and lost.  Feeling this way has made me realize how much I depend on the support and help from our friends.  I love attending church because of the specific connection I feel with God when I am there.  I also love the way our pastoral staff challenges the congregation each week.  I don’t just go to church to worship, but I also go to learn, to fellowship, to serve and to be filled.  I get all of those things on a weekly basis and I can’t wait to get back to church next Sunday!!!
