Liberty Community Church

I know i've said it before but we love our church! The people call eachother the "Liberty Saints" and is has been such a great place for us to be as a family and Mike to be as a pastor. I asked if mom would take pictures of some of the people when she came with us while she was here. Of course, she got some great shots!

Here's the outdoor area where we have Easter Sunday sunrise service.
Here's the church. Isn't it cute!
Here's our attempt at getting a family picture outside of the church.
Another attempt. Bella wants to run!
Mike waiting for me to try to get Bella to come for a picture. He looks content though, doesn't he. =)
Bella usually goes straight to the piano after the service. Last Sunday she started playing and singing/yelling. She would turn the pages of the hymnal and sing/yell. Yes, it was adorable. She is definitely not shy as there were still lots of people in the church. Watch out American Idol.
This is what happened after trying to take the family picture.
Granny Ruth and Pop. These are the first people we met at Liberty, they are who I sit with, they are who help entertain Bella, and they are who have become family to us.
Sweet Francis!
More precious friends and family.

I love this picture. Pop was worried about Jonathan's head flopping around. He is just so sweet!
This is Mrs. Bailey and Vivian Dixon. Mrs. Bailey's husband was the previous pastor to Liberty. He had been there for years and continues to leave a legacy with all of us. And Vivian is one of those women who exudes grace and love and sweetness. Plus she can cook!
These two men definitely loved Jonathan. Bill spent a while trying to find Jonathan the first time we brought him to Liberty. He wanted to make sure he saw him!
I love the Morgans. Mary Jane looks a lot like my mom and Mike's mom. So Bella has always taken a liking to her since she was a little baby. Mary Jane received more hugs than anyone because of this reason. We sit on the other side of the church but we are close enough where Mary Jane can hear Bella singing loudly. This usually means that we'll both look at eachother and smile with that motherly smile of "that's adorable!" This couple blesses me so much!

I love this picture of Mrs. Bailey. I think Jonathan was yawning here.
Liberty Saints, thank you for making us family! One of the greatest joys is being able to share my children with you and let them grow up in your love.
