3. Join the Church

On Sunday, March 1, we were scheduled to attend the new member orientation dinner at our church. After two years of regular attendance, we were finally getting around to becoming members. We knew that we were wanting to schedule Lucas' baptism in the upcoming month and I really wanted us to be members for we had him baptised.

But...there was a terrible storm that weekend and the orientation was postponed until the following Sunday, March 8. This was not a problem, but delaying everything by a week meant our introduction to the church wouldn't happen until March 15, when we were already planning on being in NYC to celebrate my 30th birthday. Upon talking to Pastor John, he assured us that we were already considered members of the church congregation and that we can simply stand up with the next class that is recognized.
