a good morning

So today we attended our first worship service at Trinity. We liked it a lot. They really do a good job of taking traditional elements of Christian worship and filling it with local flair. For example, a woman in the congregation who has her degree in textile design made this fabulous trinity symbol wall hanging in greens. I wish I had a picture to show ya'll.

We also loved the laid back yet reverent feeling of the service - no affected preaching voices - just normal people talking about their faith. There are a lot of seminary students and a lot of men from the KC Rescue Mission. It seems a safe place to be real and accepted. A combination that we value perhaps above everything else in a church.

Afterwards we had a great lunch with Mindy & Josh Hancock, our pastors, at Cupini's in Westport. Yum. We like them a lot and look forward to serving with them and being friends.
