Jamaica and I stumbled upon a new tradition during Easter where we visit a new church each year. For the last several years we have found ourselves out of town, usually on a long weekend for a spiritual retreat or reflection time. Because of my proximity to Foursquare–my tribe–we’ve looked up the local Foursquare church in whatever city we’re in and have gone there. This was our third year so I guess we can call it a tradition, right?

This year we visited Evangel Foursquare Church in Cottonwood, Arizona, just 20 miles outside of Sedona. I love seeing how different churches “do” church. Pastor Timothy Hall seems like a great guy–very connected to the community. It was difficult not to be drawn to him after he put his hand up a puppet after the worship time and started talking to kids about the meaning of Easter.

The highlight was meeting an elder married couple during a “meet and greet” time. They were from Oregon and had been living in Sedona for the winter. Sixty seconds into the pleasantries they were sharing their political convictions. Also found out the gentleman just got his PhD in Economics. He’s 82. I love it!
