Welcome New Members!

We were honored and overjoyed to welcome some incredible new members a few weeks ago! They are:
Noppi Widjaja, Ailina Zhou, Corinna Olesen, Randy Vavrick, Matt and Colleen Severson, and Nancy Cameron
Here are their words on what brought them to Troy First:  
“Excellent youth program, excellent sermon, excellent congregation where I and Ailina felt welcome” - Noppi 
“I came here because the youth is somewhere I felt safe and I clicked with the people there” - Ailina
“I started coming to Troy First when I was young and being here has brought me closer to Christ and that’s a beautiful thing.” - Corinna
“On January 22 I was intending on worshipping somewhere else and the Lord directed me here. And when I was in here and listened I knew that I was supposed to be here." -Randy
“I grew up in the First United Methodist church in Kalamazoo, moved over here with Colleen a few years ago and we’ve just been bouncing around and started watching online and decided to come in person one day. Everyone was really welcoming so we decided to get Caleb baptized here and then decided to join.” -Matt
“I just wanted to thank everyone for being so welcoming we wanted a place that our family felt accepted and loved and we definitely felt that in our short time here and we appreciate that very much.” - Colleen
“Probably mostly the people. I was going to church online and I liked that the church was involved in the community. Pastor Myra’s sermons are very moving. When I came here everyone made me feel so welcome, I just come every Sunday now and I am just glad to be a part of this.” -Nancy

​If you see them round in the coming weeks and months, give them a warm welcome :)
