FIRST SUNDAY

SUNDAY

July 27, 2014

Sometimes “different” can be fun and exciting.  Other times “different” can be very overwhelming.  Today was our first American church experience in 4 years.

As of Saturday evening we had every intention of attending Sunday school and church but when we looked at the schedule and time options on the internet for church and kids’ and adults’ classes we were so overwhelmed with decisions that we decided to keep it simple and just go to the church service.

Here’s a list of “first time” things we came up with after church:

Micah: It was his first time in 4 years to have to wear shoes to church

Ryan: It was his first time in 4 years not to bring a soccer ball to church

Joshua: It was the first time in 4 years that he understood the entire sermon

Jeff: It was the first time in for years that he knew none of the worship songs

Josiah: It was the first time in 4 years that he has been away from parents and siblings at church

Tyler: It was the first time in 4 years that he was in a class with just boys his age

Ginny: It was the first time in 4 years that she’d heard so much English spoken

Amy: It was the first time in 4 years that she wasn’t within ear and eye shot of her children

Julia: It was the first time in 4 years that she’d more than a guitar or piano during worship
