Hands-on Learning and Care Group


We thought we were a little bit late for the Sunday class. But after we got there, the class hadn't started yet. We all sat in the front row. It was a big class. The discussion was about each person's individual growth in Christ. David and I enjoyed the discussion. It was the second time for us to attend Westover COC. We were not so impressed by the preaching as much as by the 6 baptisms after the service! Their worship team was awesome too! I liked their custom of surrounding the newly baptized teenagers with their peers singing "Bind Us Together". It was very touching.

We had lunch at Firebowl. The menu looked like Peiwei. But the dish tasted much better than Peiwei. We all loved our dishes. After we came home, we fed Chloe and took a nap in the afternoon. David and I treasured our opportunity to learn from Amy and Kendall. We tried to get as much hands-on experience as we could: feeding bottles, changing diapers, taking bath, ... Amy had lots of good advice to share.

After the nap, Amy and Kendall took us to their Sunday evening Care Group. David and I already knew several people in that group: the worship leader and his family, Jessica and her sister, Laura Rich's twin sister Jenny. All the people there were very warm and welcoming. We ate, talked, and played the game "Rock Band". That was the game that I always wanted to buy for David since he loved the drumming part. The only thing that's holding me back was I was not sure whether we would have time to play it. The music got louder and louder. I stepped out of that room and chatted with a few people until the party was over. The children's minister and the outreach minister were in the group too. Amy told us it normally had the Bible study content. But tonight was a party because of the memorial weekend. I liked everyone there: energetic, fun-loving, and friendly. No wonder Amy and Kendall liked their church and small groups.
