YOUR LIFE HAS MEANING |
I was late and really not sure where to go. I hadn't missed more than ten meetings in the last ten years but this time I was nervous and very unsure of myself. This time would be different. I was the newcomer hoping to find somewhere to fit-in. I had come through many changes in the span of the last year and a half...a divorce, two different careers, several moves. I came back to Dallas for some much-needed stability and direction. Feeling much like my first day of Third Grade, I peeked in the door hoping to get some confirmation that I was in the right place. I was looking for a place where a thirty yr old, single-again guy would not feel out of place. The leader smiled and said "Hey, come on in!" Everyone made me feel like I was at home, accepted without judgment. They even invited me to come with them to worship afterwards. A few weeks later, I still felt the same. The people at Lovers
Lane Church had helped me to know that I had found a new home and
a new family. I discovered that it wasn't hard to fit-in at all, because
they loved me just the way I was: divorced, unsure of my new career and
needing some new friends. People actually remembered my name! Soon I was
experiencing joy in a way I did not know was possible. I have been able
to get involved in projects that help other people find the joy and love
that I have found here. After three years, I still feel cared about and
am excited to invite people to experience what I found at Lovers
Lane United Methodist Church. My best friends are here. I love it
here. We would love to hear from you!
