Free gift with membership.

So, Taylor and I joined a new church on Sunday. We've been going there for a while, but finally became members this Sunday. In an e-mail to me last week, the pastor said we would come and stand at the front of the church and they would recognize us and give us a gift.


As it turns out, we are now the proud new owners of (drumroll please).......

Yes, a toaster. Kind of made us laugh.

"Thanks for joining our church, here's a toaster."

You would think that if they were going to give you a thanks-for-joining-our-church gift (because no one really expects to get a gift for joining a church, or at least I didn't) that it would be something "churchy" like a bible, or a book, or even an inspirational calendar or something. But that's what I like about this church.

And yes, this is the same church where when the pastor was saying his opening prayer one Sunday morning and someones cell phone rang he said "And Lord, thank you for the many forms of communiction you have given us..."

Love it.
