Membership

There are a few things that we've done to set a few roots around here.

We got drivers licenses - plus had the best DMV experience ever - and those are words I've never uttered before. Seriously it was great! Friendly people, happy people waiting. It was as if we were in a dream.

We also have Ohio plates on our car. Ohio's license plates are actually pretty. Here are ours.

I went to the dentist. It wasn't bad but apparently it's going to be - I have about a million dollars of work to be done (major exaggeration, but still, it's a lot of stuff and money we don't have. And I do not like dentists.)

And more exciting than those things...

We joined a church! It's a church that's almost a year old (started October 23), that meets about 10 minutes away from here in a theater. It's a small but growing church (apparently began with 14 people and now there are about 140 attenders) and we love its commitment to the gospel, to preaching truth and to a community of believers.

We attended a "Get to Know" class last Sunday and had a membership interview on Wednesday. We are members numbers fifty-three and fifty-four! We're excited to get involved in this church, not only to make friends (which we can't wait to do), but to serve and to grow in this community. Thank you for your prayers that we'd find a place to go on Sundays - this is the only church we visited and from beginning, we have felt very sure that it's where God has us for our time in Cleveland.
