Almost officially members...

Justin and I finally sat down with Dr. Jim Savage, the senior pastor at Riverchase United Methodist here in Hoover. We have been attending RUMC whenever possible over the past year and have always enjoyed the services. Finding and joining a church here in Hoover is something we have been wanting to do from day one of moving to Birmingham but, as we all do, it is something that took the back burner even though it was the most important thing. We let life and laziness get in the way for too long and after we found out we were expecting our little angel it luckily put a pep in our step to being more serious about our faith. So today we meet with Dr. Savage after the service and talked to him about joining the church and told him Justin wanted to be baptized and that I want to re-commit to the Lord. We also told him we wanted Mary-Ross to be baptized after she was born as well. We had a great meeting and really enjoyed talking with Dr. Savage and hearing what he believes and feels is important. Lucky for us he has been just the person we have been looking for and his beliefs and views just so happen to be exactly how we both feel. He told us RUMC over the years has become more and more of a melting pot of all religions. He said that majority of the members are all from different denominations and that really made Justin and I more comfortable since we both are from different denominations. He said that RUMC is really all about peace and love. He said that because so many people there have been brought up believing so many different things that they like to focus on the main reason why we go to church and that is God. Justin and me really like that and feel so much better now that we know all of these things. We are so looking forward to joining RUMC and getting to know the people. We always enjoy Dr. Savage's sermons and can not wait to learn more and more from him. We are planning on joining the church and being baptized the second weekend in April. So the official date is set for April 10th. This is something that has been so important to us and on our minds to do before Mary-Ross gets here. We want her to be apart of something great before she even knows it. We are hoping to meet many new friends at RUMC and becoming apart of the family.

Until next time...
