1st Visit to Kingsway Nondemoninational

Today Dad,Mom,Mark,Jamie and I went to see how we liked Kingsway Baptist. Kingsway Baptist is held in a school just like Parkway but Kingsway is closer to us. We were running a little late so we got there a little bit after they started. So we sat in the very back. The singing was very contemporary. They had drums,piano, and some kind of loud flute. Almost everyone raised their hands or clapped whenever the music played, I wasn't used to that kind of singing. After we sang a lot we sat and down and there was a testimony and a announcement of a couple that got engaged. A group of people walked out of some doors and silly stringed the couple and gave them balloons in front of the whole congregation. It was quite funny. Then they had a five minute break,where we were told we needed to move up because they were going to take the chairs from the back. We ended up sitting very close to the front and freezing to death. The Sermon was very deep in logic and long in time. I guess it would have been more interesting if I was taking notes,but I didn't feel like it. To mention there was a ton of kids. I saw a bunch of teenagers but most of them were guys and there was also ton of little kids. Jamie's coach from his first year of Upward's goes there, the D's go there who come to Bethany Place for AWANA and two of Jamie's friends go there too. After an hour and thirty minutes Worship was dismissed.

This afternoon Mom,Mark and I went to a Biblestudy type thing at a house next to the Kingsway site where they are building their church. We went in and were greeted immediately and asked our names ect... We then walked into the kitchen where I saw and talked to Courtney D. Then we all went downstairs to the Biblestudy room with other Mom's and their daughters. They are doing a Biblestudy with the book called "Stop Dating The Church". The topic was modesty so we had a big group discussion on it. After that we went into three small groups and everyone had a topic they had to answer questions. Ours was The Body. Mom mentioned the song from Casting Crowns called "We Are The Body", I started singing the chorus and everyone said sing it again (It was rather embarrassing!!). We then broke into Mom and Daughter groups were we discussed some more. After we were finished everyone had snacks in the kitchen up stairs that consisted of Ruffles chips,barbecue chip,Tostito chips,ranch dip,Cheese dip,Salsa dip,carrots,mini brownies and mini candy bars. It was very good. We talked and stuff,then we went home. The Biblestudy was better than I thought, I liked it I guess.
