Because of various moves we had in our married life we attended 4 different Lutheran churches. A free church. A CMA church and a church of Christ. Currently attending at obtaining membership at Indianola Community church I knew some about God and that church was important. But my personal relationship began at the event I mentioned It was commercialized yes. But still very moving and meaningful. I was baptized by immersion on October 2006 at Community Heights alliance in Newton iowa.
