After driving for over a hour to go to church for the past two years, Dan and I were ready to find a church home closer to home. So when he mentioned visiting the Commons I was up for it, but really was looking for something bigger and one that honestly, I could blend in a little at. So, I asked him as we pulled up to the church that morning if it would be weird if we didn't come back after that day since it was so small, he said no. So, we went in and for the next 10 minutes we were really showered with kindness and welcoming people. Then the service started and God used the worship and the preaching that morning to convict my heart and move me to a place where all of the sudden blending in wasn't what was important and comfort wasn't a need, I was tasting the richness of God's word and communing with Him.... that was what mattered most and that's what my heart was longing for, and that is what this small group of believers were experiencing together.
So, here we are. And in a short amount of time I have come to truly love this church and already have been blessed by them. I've already shared with several in my life a few things that have meant a lot to me about the Commons are, they love my children and serve them everytime they see them, they provide an environment for transparency and openness, and they have a passion for missional living in the community they are in.
May God get all the glory for this growing church as we strive to make much of HIM..... and may we in return, get so much joy in this journey together!
