King's Church

The last few months have been a lesson in moving to say the least. Closing accounts, selling our cars, shipping our things, renting out our house, setting up international banking and on and on and on. I just feel like we have been completely out of our element for at least 8 weeks now. Part of that has been missing out on church. We have a wonderful church at home that we love(honestly, I have gone there since I was born and it feels like home when we are there), however, because we have been out of town so often visiting family and friends, we haven't been able to go for the last 6 weeks or so. Something has definitely been missing. So, when we got here, one of the first things we wanted to do was to start looking for a church. We started at the Norwich Christian Resource Center. We told them that we were used to a more contemporary service, and they told us about King's Church. Brady and I were intrigued so we decided to try. Today was our first day. We. Loved. It. The minute we started singing the first song, I felt tears stinging my eyes. Our faith is so important to us and we want to make sure that we pass this on to Parker. Finding a church is a huge part of making this our home and I can't tell you how blessed we feel to have found something so soon. The people were so warm and friendly and they even have a "Mommy and Toddler" program. So...I could be on my way to making friends very soon--that is if you count Parker making them for me:)!

Anyway, here is a picture of the new church. I know, it doesn't look like a church at all. The funny thing is that it sets less than twenty feet from a beautiful, old church that now holds a taekwondo studio instead of a congregation...

They have a cafe when you first walk in...the banner is just a bible study they are offering.

Daddy and Parker walking home from church...love these boys...
