New Chairs for TFC’s Elkton, Maryland, Chapels
Tuesday, January 26
TFC International Office
Cerwin loaded eighteen new chairs in the TFC pickup truck, and another eighteen on our son’s trailer, in preparation for an almost-two-hour trip to Elkton, Maryland. (We had originally planned to make this trip yesterday, but postponed it because of the wind and rain.)
Preparing to unload the chairs for the SeedPlanter Chapel at Petro Stopping Center.
Chaplain David Hoy was pleased to be receiving new chairs.
David talked to some of the truck stop staff, and had the old chairs moved out and distributed to a waiting area in the shop and another waiting area inside the truck stop.
I like this chapel’s “wall of truckers.”
Chaplain David and Cerwin try out the new chairs.

We left the trailer there, then drove up the road a mile to the TA Travel Plaza where the Life-Saver Chapel is placed.
After removing the old (red) chairs from the chapel, Chaplain David helped Cerwin unload the new chairs. We distributed most of these old chairs to the shop and TV room.

Chaplain David treated us to a wonderful lunch at a nearby Cracker Barrel.
