Our Church Here in Florida

Hubby and I are busy preparing to leave on a cruise to the Bahamas this weekend (for my birthday!) so I thought I'd just do a quick post about the wonderful church we found to attend while we are here in Florida.   We've really missed our church family at Church on the Green in Sun City West (www.churchonthegreen.com)  but we've found another church family here in Florida at New Life Community Church in Palm Beach Gardens (www.newlifeccag.org).

They are an active bunch!  The pastor's 70th birthday party was held at a church member's house out in the country.  We got to ride on this swamp buggy in addition to eating lots of delicious food.

We're leasing this store front right now, but praying for our own church building.

A lack of kitchen facilities didn't stop the ladies at New Life from giving a brunch for all the new ladies at church.

They presented us with corsages and gift bags.

One lady had even made necklaces for us.  I put mine on immediately since it matched my blouse.

I have attended countless brunches, lunches and dinners when I was a member of a ladies quartet called 4Grace, singing at churches all over Arizona.  However, I have to say, this was one of the most delicious I've ever had!

Pastor Scrivner Damon and his wife, Dolores, have made us feel right at home away from home.  We are enjoying getting to know our Florida church family!

Now, back to packing!  I'm looking forward to another adventure this weekend!
