My Orange Chair Story

Tara Morgan

I found the "orange chair" (or should I say it found me?)as a new mother who had taken a break from "church."  It was a difficult time during our life as I had a new baby, commuting to Sacramento, husband working full time, school full time and making frequent trips to Seattle as his father was dying from cancer.

I always felt that I was a "small church" girl and hesistated to attend Green Valley the "big church."  But after being invited several times and gettting tired of "church shopping" I gave it a try.

I was greeted in nursery by a friendly woman who just happened to be married to a past family friend.  So far so good....I sat through the service overwhelned by the amazing music and it was in the "orange chair" that I rediscovered the Jesus of the "scripture" rather than the Jesus of "religion."

There are many faces in our orange chairs.  Only when we understand who we are can we hope to accomplish the work we are called to do.  Thank you GVCC for providing a safe place to discover the grace of God!

Tell Us Your Story

For most of us we can see the changes in our lives by certain milestones that we hit. Getting our drivers license, graduating from school, getting married, having a baby or lossing a loved one. For those of us at Green Valley Community Church those milestones, big and small, are lived out everyday sitting in a simple "orange chair". Tell us your story. We want to share with each other what "one small chair" has done in your life.
