Church

Church. If you ask Christians what the definition of church is, I am sure you will get all sorts of answers. If you ask college Bible students what the definition is, you will come up with even more extreme definitions. Answers that range from, "church is where two or more people are gathered" to "we are the church". No matter your specific definition, I am sure every Christian can agree that, as believers, it is important to be plugged into the church. As Mike and I have had a unique past couple of years, we haven't been able to dig roots into any particular church. We have our home churches who have supported us in this ministry adventure, but we haven't had the opportunity to serve... until now. Mike and I started regularly attending a church near our home here in Boise. We didn't expect to get plugged into the church right away, but I guess God had other plans. God has given me the opportunity to serve in the women's ministry. Mike plays the drums on an "as needed" basis. And we serve together in the Creative Arts Ministry; Mike creates all the light schemes and patterns for worship while I am heading up the drama ministry. It feels good to be serving in a church again. There is something instinctively at our core that longs for community, fellowship, love, encouragement, and truth. No wonder Christ put such an emphasis on the church in the New Testament. As we serve, we grow. As we commune, we love. As we engage in fellowship, we encourage. As we encourage, we find truth. We are thankful to finally have a home church again, and we are humbled to have the opportunity to serve!
