“I’ve moved around a lot. My dad was in the Air Force, and my husband was in the Army. After his service, we continued to relocate for jobs. One of the challenges for settling in, is finding our place in our new community. I’ve attended many churches, of various styles, denominations, sizes, and cultures. It’s always a bit intimidating to join in, but I appreciate when our family is welcomed.
My experience with church in the Savannah area was this: we went the first time, and were so warmly received that we stayed. We now sing on the choir, and look forward to sharing family traditions with fellow Georgians.
One of the most significant events in a Christian church is celebrating the risen Christ during the Lenten season and into Easter. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was stunned to see a cross displayed on the foyer table- filling quickly with cut flowers. We were invited to take a flower, and add the stem to the cross. The assorted buds and blooms were strikingly beautiful, but it was more than that. It was life. He is Risen, Indeed. I didn’t know I’d feel something new and different, after all of these years of ‘seeing it all’ before, but this little church taught me something profoundly new.”
