Acts 16:5

7 Valleys Baptist Church is where we found ourselves last night.



7VBC is a relatively new church plant in Cortland, NY. The church is led by two church planting missionaries that are graduates of Trinity Baptist College. Currently, they have a small group of believers meeting, but are still having a missions emphasis month. I always love that type of focus by leadership!

It was one of those churches you did not want to leave. I think we stayed almost two hours after the service ended just talking with the church family (and eating homemade chocolate chip cookies too!).

Another neat thing that God worked out was Erika was able to connect with a college friend named Clara currently living in Cortland.



After we left Erika and I were thinking the same thing...Hey that is going to be us someday! Gathering with a small group of believers as we plant a church! It was neat to be part of a church that doing the very thing that God has called us to.

Now...off to NJ for a bit.

I hear NJ is where NYC sends all their trash. Just a random thought...

Did you know: the first baseball game was played in Hoboken, NJ, which is also the birthplace of Frank Sinatra?
Just another random thought...

NR -

Yeah...but they do have good bagels here!

But you are right...there are times when you are talking and it smells like NYC.
