saying goodbye

come this august, we'll have attended our current church (which we love) for 2.5+ years. it doesn't seem that long, but i feel like we've been apart of the church for awhile. i think it's b/c of all the relationships we've built up and being involved in our church.

one thing that i've realized this summer is that our church has a pretty high turnover (partly due to students, both undergrad and grad, graduating). we haven't really witnessed this turnover rate until this year. by the end of this month, 7 members of the church will have moved. :( i've been sad to see them all go. fruittart has tried to keep many of them by overdosing them with sugar, but it hasn't quite worked. :P i guess we'll have to think of another retention method, either that or be thankful for the times we've had fellowship with them and pray for where they are currently. :)
