Finding A Church

I don't think I have shared the story of how we found the church that we attend in Porterville.  It is a fun story!  When we first moved here in June, we attended a very large church, but decided we wanted to look around some more.  Dan looked on the internet and found a church called Calvary Baptist.  We drove by it and by the looks of the church structure we could tell it was very small.  Coming from a large church back home, we were actually intimidated by attending a small church.  So we drove by it a couple more times, contemplated going inside one Sunday and backed out. Finally, on Father's Day, we got brave and went inside the church for a Sunday service. The people were wonderful to us.  Unfortunately, the pastor was not there that Sunday. Guess where he was?  Back with his parents throwing them an anniversary party.....in HAYESVILLE, OHIO of all places.  We couldn't believe he was in Ohio while we were in California....and so close to our home.  We did return the next Sunday and have gone there ever since.  It is a good, bible preaching church and we have enjoyed the fellowship so much.  The picture below is of the pastor holding Chloe..she loves him.  And the picture below that is of Mya and Sara's Sunday school class with their teacher Miss Shirley...who they have decided to call Miss Charley instead.  She loves it!
