Truckers’ Weekend

Family Worship Center, Lansdale, Pennsylvania

Saturday, October 3

 

 

 It was our responsibility to take the International Chapel to this event. 

Many people think that all of TFC’s North American chapels are always on the move, but this is the only one that does not have a permanent spot at a truck stop. 

There is another chapel in Ohio that can be used for promotional work, but it is currently placed at a truck stop near Indianapolis.

 

 

While several men helped Cerwin set up the chapel steps, I put the display board and literature on a table in the church’s entrance area. 

 

 

Saturday is also a time when some local drivers and salesmen bring their trucks.

 

 

 I told this driver that he must have gotten too much fertilizer on his truck!

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

  

 The pig roast is a highlight of this day.  A roasted pig is not very attractive, but it is a fabulous way to prepare pork.

 

 

This caterer also stuffs the pig with bread filling – which is delicious.

 

 

 

 

Rolls, mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, green beans, and a salad complete this meal.

 

 

 Everyone went to the activity center to enjoy their meal.

 

 

Eunice Landis and her dad, Sam Rittenhouse, decorated the tables with pretty centerpieces. 

 

 

 From there we moved to the church sanctuary for the evening concert.

 

 

 The Paul Fehr Family opened the evening with beautiful music. 

Paul is a local driver, and sings with his daughter (wheel chair) and two of his grandchildren.

 

 

 Dwayne Johnson, TFC Vice President, gave an informative update on what is happening around the world in TFC.

 

 

 The headliner for the evening was gospel music by Angelina McKeithen and Route 77.

  

 

 She is amazing on the harmonica.
