The "family of God" is much larger than our church. But these ten things are about our church, in particular.
1. We meet in an old church building with stained glass windows.
2. We're an odd mix of traditional, old-fashioned, and modern.
3. The people make incredible food. Seriously, the potlucks never disappoint. I think I always take the worst food there 😆
4. The children have some wonderful Sunday School teachers who have invested many hours into developing a through-the-Bible interactive study.
5. Bible memory is encouraged and rewarded, for the kids.
6. Our singing is a lot better than it was 10 years ago 😉. The building acoustics help, too.
7. Adult Ladies' Sunday School Class. We're working our way through Romans right now, and I am thoroughly enjoying the study.
8. We practice some New Testament teachings that many find strange and many more deem unnecessary. Washing each others' feet. Anointing with oil for the sick. Heads covered for the women. Fasting is encouraged.
9. We do fun things together.
10. We serve each other. We have had so many meals cooked for us, through Baby Season, and we've cooked a few for others. There is willingness to pitch in and get things done. Sometimes, as in most groups, there has to be some extra motivational encouragement, depending on the project, but I'm thankful for the work-together attitude.
There are more things, but there's my Ten Things List!
