Church Membership

Wouldn't you know that I do NOT have a picture to go along with this post. Judson and I were married in the Methodist Church in 1995. We attended there until Ally was old enough for children's activities. We were really the only young couple that attended regularly with children at the time.

We made the decision to move our membership to the First Presbyterian Church around 2000. They had many more children and therefore a great children's program. The nursery school that the girls attended was joint effort between churches. A few years later, the Presbyterian church began to change a bit. And after the turnover of several ministers, the change in children's activities, etc we made the decision to start attending the Methodist Church again. We decided not to officially move our membership back until we were sure about it.

After attending at the Methodist church for several, several years, we decided it would be our permanent home. We discussed moving our membership back when Ally was confirmed in the church last Spring. My surgery interfered with that weekend. It just was one of those things where we didn't make it a priority. Until Tim approached me a few Sundays ago and asked me about our membership. I was so glad he did because he gave us the little "nudge" that we needed to put this on our calendars and "get it done"!

We "rejoined" our home church and made it official. We were both anticipating a bunch of silly questions from church members, but it ended up not being a big deal at all. We are glad to be Methodists again!

Ally was baptised and confirmed in the Methodist church. Abby was baptised and will be confirmed this Spring in the Methodist Church. Oney was baptised in the Presbyterian church and will hopefully be confirmed in the Methodist Church in a few years. I don't think it matters where you do it, just do it!
