Love!: little catch up time!

So have you ever been a part of something and you know without a doubt that God has placed you there to further His kingdom? Well that is how I feel about my church, The Portico Church. I have been attending Portico since oh around 2004. Yep a whole 5 years. Now a very short time during that 5years i questioned on whether it was right for me to be there and to be a part. After stepping back out of volunteering and even going, I paid attention and have missed very few events or Sunday nights. That is my community. We have recently made some major steps in our church history. We have bought a building in the Downtown Monroe area, established ourselves as an organization, organized community groups, and done so much more. I keep thinking back to a Sunday night many years ago when we met at our former pastor's house to discuss what we envisioned for the future of our church. We discussed that Portico would become its own entity. On October 25th, 2009, we met for the first time in our new, very own building, a new community, a new start... I am so thrilled to be a part of this wonderful part of history. in the midst of my tears of joy, i managed to snap a few pictures. i wanted to share those with you. enjoy!
