re: people who will come
Matt, before we move past your post, I wanted to make sure I noted how thankful I am that you stayed. I'm one of those people who came, and it changed my life. Though I had Christian friends prior to my experience at Capitol Hill, I didn't really understand what it meant to commit to a church. When I was in college, my college pastor approached me about joining the church. I said to him, "Why should I? I'm only going to be here four years!" I had no sense of my need for the church and the church's need for people to commit to her. All that to say, I learned so much about following Christ during those years in DC. All that to say, thanks for staying!
Well said Aaron!
Matt, I am thankful that you stayed as well, as is the congregation that I serve here in Connecticut. The blessings that I experience here are in part because of God's work in your life. May He receive the praise and glory!
