From Stranger to Family: My First Month

Walking into a new community can be daunting. I still remember the nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach on my first Sunday at The Feast. Would I know anyone? Would people talk to me? Would I feel out of place?

But what I found was a place where 'hello' was said with genuine warmth, not just polite courtesy. I was invited to join a small group for coffee after the service, and before I knew it, I was sharing stories and laughing with people I had just met. The talk was inspiring and relevant, but it was the authenticity of the people that truly captured my heart.

Within my first month, The Feast went from being a place I visited to a family I belonged to. I share this experience for anyone who might be feeling that same apprehension I once did. Take a step of faith. You might just find that what you're looking for is waiting to welcome you with open arms.
