New Churches, New Friends, New Fun!

Emily and I are in Knoxville this weekend on the way to helping our friends Trey McClain and his wife Kitten with the first "preview service" of their new church in Evansville, Indiana. It's called Discovery Church and we plan to have a blast visiting them and their two girls, as well as seeing their new church peeps tomorrow through Monday!

Ridge Church and Emily and I are as of today now officially banking at SunTrust of Fountain City. What a nice group of folks there! Annie Howard, the Assistant Branch Manager, is super nice and even helped Emily with a suggestion for a place to get her hair cut. Annie finished up the church's checking account application process that we started online and then helped Emily and me to set up our personal checking account. Looking for a bank to check out? SunTrust of Fountain City should be on the list!

We also got our first piece of mail at our new P.O. Box--our copy of our non-profit corporate charter from the Tennessee Secretary of State. With all this paperwork, I'm going to have to buy a filing cabinet!

Emily and I are excited about being in Knoxville for good starting on June 28th! One more cool thing we discovered last night: Leo's Cafe on Tazewell Pike in Fountain City has live music on Saturday nights now! So far, they've had bluegrass and jazz.

Emily and I are pumped about having a place to gather with new friends that features live music AND great food (plus great service)! Check out Leo's if you've never been there before. My suggestion: a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a Diet Cherry Coke (with real cherry syrup!).
