A Place to Connect

I remember when . . .   There are times we all think back to with fondness.  Great friends, relaxed times, people we could hang out with, fewer responsibilities.  Life seemed to be less stressed in those days.  Those memories and relationships remain with us, for life.  And honestly, there are moments we wish we could just go back.

Our family has lived in Airdrie more than 8 years.  Like most others, we came to Airdrie for a reason and opportunity.  We never grew up here.  Matter of fact, most folks never grew up in Airdrie.  We are part of the boom that Airdrie is experiencing.  This brings its own stresses to families.

 30 years ago, people often stayed and worked in the region they grew up in.  Many of their friends did the same and the relationships carried on.  The immediate and extended family was close by.

 Because of the transient nature of our society, it is easy to feel disconnected when a family needs to move to a new region.  Those fond times only come with you in memory.  The Gathering Place is here to help with the transition.  We are a place to connect, with your community, with other families, with God.

I have found this one thing about moving to Airdrie to be absolute.  It requires my taking a step to meet people, to make friends.  We invite you to connect at The Gathering Place.
