Second Farewell

Today Jo & I visited Subiaco Church, the church we called home previously before going to Metro church 12 months ago.

Jo had been a part of Subi church for 14 years, & I had been going there since arriving in Perth 6 years ago.

We both had many friends there, allot of whom were not there today for one reason or another. The people that we did see today, we hadn't seen in 12 months since leaving Subi, & it was good to catch up & say goodbye.

Even though this church had been our home for many years, we both had the feeling of being out of place & in a foreign land, & we were reminded of the reason we left there in the first place.

Do you ever feel like that when you visit somewhere you used to call home, but it no longer feels like home? It's like everything has changed & you no longer belong. For us, we are the ones who have changed & moved on. I felt like a square peg in a round hole.

On a positive note though, I do have some some good memories from my time with Subi church; and some wonderful friends.

Just visiting

At the beginning of the year Jo & I moved churches. After attending Subiaco Church for more than 15 years between us, we left there in January & started attending Metro Church. This move has been a good one & we are both very happy at our new church home.

We did promise our old church family at Subiaco that we'd visit every now & then though, as we still have some wonderful friends there. Of course now that we have our new baby Chloe, everyone was itching to see her for the first time as well.

So this morning we went along to Subi Church for the later (10:30am) service. As soon as we got there we were surrounded by old friends wanting to greet us & see baby Chloe. Poor Jo spend the majority of the service in the parents room feeding & settling the baby, but thankfully was able to see & hear the service on the monitors.

After the service, we were overwhelmed by more people wanting to catch up with us, which was really good, as we have not seen these people since Christmas. Overall it was an enjoyable morning.

Do you ever go somewhere you haven't been in a while & see old friends you haven't seen? It's always good to catch up with old friends. It can be a chance to reignite the old flame that can start to dim after a while.
