unchurched

Dear Pastor Bill & Pastor D,
I sure do miss you guys and the NCCM (New Covenant Christian Ministries) family.  It’s been nine years plus since we moved.  Hubby and I still reminisce about the good times had there.  I, personally, want to thank you two.  I don’t think you ever knew it but my time there was life-altering.

I remember the day we became members.  The service was almost over, and the invitation to join had  been given, and on this day hubby grabbed my hand. He stood up and ushered me to follow.   Inside, I was kicking and screaming all the way down the aisle.  Church membership had been on my “will not do EVER!” list.  I had been so hurt by the church previously and I vowed to keep my distance.  I considered myself “unchurched”.   That’s the name I gave it years ago.  My definition was simple:  A person who has decided to never join a church establishment again as long as they both shall live. 

Yes, coming in I was a mess but Grace and Mercy met me at the front door.  Time after time after time.

Unbeknownst to me, God’s plan included using NCCM to heal me from being “unchurched”.   

During my tenure there, I learned and grew so much.  NCCM was the hospital, and you two the primary doctors God used,  to heal this one, and change my life for the better, and for that I am so grateful.

May God continue to bless the two of you exceedingly abundantly.

Forever Family,
Love,
Liz
