I Thought i would share with you all move first Lords Day in Sol Cali since moving from the supper hot sunny UK on Tuesday 31st May.
My wife and I were very exciting about going to Church today, unfortunately wife's driving licenses has expired so had to rely on a lift from her sister. I thought for my our first Lords Day we would attend Grace Community Church in the Valley, only 11 miles from where we are living at the moment in San Fernando City. We got to the Church 10 minutes before service started and didn't realize how hard it would be to park, that was a mission in its self. Finally after finding a parking spot we headed for the Church, once in i couldn't believe how big it was (back in the UK we were attending a small Baptist Church with 20 in the morning and only 15 if your lucky in the evening) so for me this was HUGE. In the front was a choir and a small orchestra which i was surprised to see and thought it was a bit too much. During the offertory their was some dude singing a soloist piece, not sure what he was singing thought it too much and not appropriate. Then came the preaching of the word which we were looking forward too. The preaching was very good very edifying and informative Mark 16:1-8. All in all i thought it was ok, we were hoping to attend the evening service unfortunately we couldn't get a lift. I don't feel that this Church will be for us in the long run and be part of the church family but it will be fine for the time being until the Lord leads us to just the right Church for us.

Forgot to mention they have a cool remote control pulpit which goes up and down. Every church has got to themselves one of them
