Another church experience
Well, we decided to try another church today, and we went to the Taber Evangelical Free Church. It was quite different from our experience at New Life last Sunday (was that only a week ago??). They have 2 services, but they've bought an old hardware store that they'll be renovating to make a bigger building. They hope to be in there by Christmas but it will probably take longer.
Anyways, the service was great, though shorter than we're used to, only an hour and 10 minutes. It has a very similar feel to Bethesda, we felt very comfortable there. After the service we chatted with a few people, and the pastor and his wife had us and a couple others over for lunch. We stayed there a few hours, had a really good visit, and learned a lot about the church and about Taber itself. We'll likely be going back there. In the course of discussion I was asking about music at the church and they asked me if I played piano, and I admitted that I played guitar. Then they got that same light in their eyes that Curtis got when he met me 4 years ago. :) I told them I was taking a break from that kind of ministry and that when I was ready I wouldn't be shy about getting involved. They also seem to have a good youth ministry and ladies ministry. We'll keep you posted, but this looks like it could be the one!
Not much else going on, Scott's job is going well so far, he's mostly reading and learning about potatoes. I've been chilling at home, I'm going to start looking for a job soon. I found out today about a career centre that Taber has, so I think I'll head there next week. I'm also looking into becoming an Epicure consultant. They sell spices and dip mixes and kitchen stuff - some of you may recall the wings party I had a while back with them. We'll see how that goes, I think the closest consultant right now is in Medicine Hat.
Anyways, I've rambled long enough, if you're still reading at this point, you must really love us. :) We miss you all, but we're also excited about the life we're starting here. We're also excited that The Amazing Race is starting tonight. :) And that tomorrow is family day and we have the day off (not that it matters much to me). Have a good week everyone!

I'm so glad for you that you might have found a new home church!
ReplyDeleteBeing an Epicure consultant sounds like fun...you get to cook with everyone else's groceries, and you don't have to clean up the mess!
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we miss you out here in Winnipeg, too, but we're glad for your new adventure opportunity!
Luv ya,
Rebecca
