Now that you’ve had a-more-than-week-long trip to Minnesota, via my blog, it’s time to get back to our real life in Pennsylvania.
Friday
I caught up on work in the TFC office in our home, and Cerwin went to the International Office (19 miles away) to be available to give a group of first and second graders, from a local Christian school, a tour of our newest chapel, the shop, and office.
Trucker Gerry (center) was instrumental in bringing the group to TFC’s office and shop.
It was the first time since our trip that Cerwin saw the chapel with the lettering finished.
He was also pleased to see what a good job a local truck repair shop did on polishing the wheels of the TFC tractor. (Lettering and polishing jobs were both donated.)
Saturday
In the afternoon we attended the annual Truckers’ Day at New Covenant Church, where truck drivers from the church are invited to bring their rigs.
There were nine rigs and three pickup trucks.
To those of you who took time to check my addition – yes, I know there are only eight here – the ninth was being used in the driver skills competition.
Most of the CDL drivers tested their skills – some were pleased with the results, others were not!
The drivers took time to polish their rigs so well that many of the bumpers could have been used as mirrors.
I love to check out extra signs that drivers add to their rigs…
…especially those sharing their faith.
Food is sold by the youth group, with profits going toward a mission trip.
The children loved “train” rides…
…and going through the obstacle course in the gym. Notice our TFC display in the background.
For our part of the evening program, Cerwin gave a TFC update using PowerPoint photos and asked Jake Wise (above – with his son, Jesse) to share how God called him to serve as a volunteer chaplain with TFC.
It was a neat afternoon and evening.
