I had been looking for a church for about 1 year! Before starting this journey, I made a list of what I was seeking in a church. I put together a list of churches then attended many many many Sunday services (sometimes attending 2 services on Sundays,) and Wednesday services. (BTW not every Sunday and not every Wednesday, but you get the point. I was on a serious mission.) I looked at churches in Irving, Dallas, Grand Prairie etc.... Sometimes this was not fun. Then FUMC Irving was on my list. I went and thought I really like it here and I like the people. Then they did something I had never seen before. They had all the children bring their backpacks to the alter and we prayed over them. I decided I would go back again, a 2nd time, just to be sure "this church was it!" And...it was! I see and feel GOD's love in this place. AMEN read more
