New Members!

Today was a very exciting day for Mike and I. We have been going to Church on Sundays at Zion Lutheran Church down the street from our house in St. Charles and were confirmed today and are now members of the Church!

I was baptized Catholic, but stopped going to Church regularly when we moved to Kansas. Mike was baptized Lutheran and was confirmed, but stopped going when he was in high school or college, so it was something we decided to do together. We have really enjoyed going on Sundays and decided we'd like to get married there as well. So with that being a good motivator, we decided to become members of the Church.

Its a Missouri Synod Lutheran Church, so we took adult information classes for the past few months to learn about the Lutheran faith. Once that was done, we had our confirmation today in front of the congregation and everyone was so nice to congratulate us and welcome us. (We also go those nifty crosses above, so that was an extra bonus) We really want to get involved with Zion and help out where we can. We were asked if we wanted to join the choir, but had to decline, because that would make people quit the church! I'm hoping I can help out where I can with my art or crafting skills. And Mike likes to do manual labor, so if they need anything related to that, he's the man for the job.
