Church Home

A great way to start the new year was joining a church home. For the first six months that we were here we had been visiting churches and finally found our home, First Baptist Church of The Woodlands :) It's hard finding the right place, but from the first time we visited we knew this was it. We have joined a young marrieds class and we love it! Everyone is so welcoming and know that this is going to be a great group to grow with and learn from. Allen has joined the church softball league. He has two games every Monday night. I just can't seem to stay up that late, but I usually got to the early game. They don't have the best record, but they have fun and that's what matters. :) Recently the ladies started a weekly bible study after the church meal. Every Wednesday the church provides a meal for $4 per person. It's a time for fellowship and join in prayer. After dinner the ladies in our class started a weekly bible study, which I'm real excited about. Our class really does a lot, almost every weekend there is a social and every Sunday they go to lunch as a class. It's been great since we are new and still getting to know everyone. Our class is doing a marriage study based on the book, Love & Respect. It is a great book! It really emphasizes the principles in the movie we love, Fireproof. They both give similar advice on what a christian marriage should look like. We highly recommend this book!

Here are a few photos of the group from the Super Bowl Party we hosted.

For dessert we had the chocolate fountain...Yummy!

Everyone was focused on the game


Having some fun

Our young marrieds class in Dallas did a study on that same book! It is pretty good. Glad to hear you guys are settling in!
