I joined King Street Church 35 years ago after moving here
from upstate New York. We lived nearby, and drove past the
church and admired it every day. Then one sunny
afternoon a kindly gentleman walked up our driveway and
introduced himself as the minister of that little white
church around the corner. So I thought I would try it.
The next Sunday, as I parked my car on the street
(can’t do that now) across from the church, a nice lady
walked up and introduced herself, took my arm, and walked
me right in -- and I've been here ever since.
Discovering King Street Church was one of the best
things that ever happened to me. Soon, the church became
my “family” and my home away from home. I found it -- then
as now -- a warm, loving, and spiritual place to be.
Over all those years, I have participated in just about
every activity of the church, and enjoyed every minute of
it. I have --
- served on every ministry
board,
- directed the vocal
choir for 13 years,
- played (and still play) handbells,
- directed (and still direct) young people in a junior bell group,
- produced and directed a few musical productions --
both adult and kids,
- led adult fellowship dinners, gatherings, and
outings
-- and just about anything else you can mention.
Working with such
interesting, knowledgeable, and fun
people as those in our church is a real joy. But most
of all, I am grateful to this little white church for the
wonderful growth I have experienced in my faith. Every day
I thank the Lord for bringing me to King Street Church. |
