My Home Church

This Church is located in New Carlisle, Ohio. It is called the First Baptist Church of New Carlisle. My brother David and his Wife Garnet, Daughter Kim, and Son Chris started going many years ago. My Wife Bernadette and I were married here in 1990. Whenever we were home on leave, we would try to attend. Over the years the Pastor: Rick Shoemaker, would come and see my parents whenever they were in the hospital. He would have prayer with them and showed genuine care for my family. After retiring from the U.S. Navy in 2000. My Wife and I returned to Springfield, Ohio. But, we still did not attend any Church right away. In April of 2005, our Father, Charles Holliday passed away at home from a blood clot. Our family as any other family would have been, was devistated. My brother David, right away had Associate Pastor Jeff Christmas informed due to Pastor Rick Shoemaker being on vacation. Jeff Christmas conducted my Fathers funeral at the Church. Church members shared in our grief and provided the family a after service dinner. The following February, our Mom, Barbara Holliday passed away from complications from cemotheropy. Now, after having lost two of our parents, All of my siblings, a Sister-in-Law and myself has joined this Church. Speaking for myself, I feel so welcome here and everyone has treated me like family. Little did I know, we are family, GOD'S FAMILY. With a special gift from the Church being a Bible. I started from Genisis and read all the way to Revelations within a year. Through prayer, I asked God to lead me where he needed me. Not long after, I found myself going to a nearby Health Center. I offered Bible Studies to there residents and it just so happened that they were looking for someone to do Bible Studies. I have so much support from our Church and from my family. I now realize that God had a plan for me. Now, everytime I turn around, the Lord is blessing me with beautiful people to share his LOVE with. Lola , a employee at Sam's Club in Demo's., her Sister Lois at the membership desk, Rob Chiles a local Christian singer in Springfield, Ohio. We have known each other for years.
