A FAMILIES EXPERIENCE AT EAST VALLEY CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE
So, so thankful for today.
Today, some of the ladies from our church gifted us this beautiful handmade advent calendar for Finley. Each day has an ornament for the tree, and a Bible verse and message.
Since moving to Arizona we’ve really struggled to find a church where Sheldon and I both felt at home. I missed my home church, and Sheldon and I had our differences in what we thought we wanted in a church. A random Sunday morning a few months back, it just hit me. I pray for Finley daily, but my baby needs and deserves a church family, and to be surrounded and raised around other believers. We randomly googled the nearest churches to us, and East Valley Church of the Nazarene was one of the closest. We got in the car and went.
It’s so crazy, because we had searched and tried out a couple of other Nazarene churches in the area, but that morning is the first time we came across this church. And I’m so happy we did. It isn’t exactly what either of us thought we needed, but God had other plans and I truly believe we were placed here, and all the right people were placed in our lives right when we needed them. We have been met with so much love and kindness from the moment we walked through the doors, and I am just so grateful; for our church, for these amazing people, and for God placing us exactly where we needed to be.
