7 Lessons I’ve learned this first year:

Lesson 2

The joy of community. For years Joanie and I dreamed of being part of a community of believers (in Silverton) that loved God, wanted go deeper in Christ, and to reach out in His name. I’ve never been a part of a church like this. People genuinely care about each other, pray for each other, and are trying to live life for Him. Some of the community stuff is radical and amazing, but usually it is so simple. Our family came home from a vacation this summer to a de-thawed freezer. All the food ruined. I didn’t even tell anyone, but the next day members from the church (who had heard about it somehow) stopped by with a freezer full of food to give us. We have friends and co-laborers right where we live who have accepted us and become our good friends. Super cool. And it is a sheer joy to walking with this group and growing in Him together. Amazing.
