Sunday

Truckers’ Sunday

Family Worship Center

 

Breakfast at Sam & Alice Rittenhouse’s

 

Cerwin and I stayed with Dale and Kris Clemmer overnight – next door to Sam’s.  L to R:  Kris Clemmer, Dale Clemmer, Bunny O’Hare, Peg O’Hare, Sam Houchins, Margaret Houchins, Cerwin, and Sam.

 

A sample of one of Sam’s delicious dishes. 

This breakfast is a yearly event, and everyone knows we will get to eat some of his fabulous blueberry and pecan pancakes (two different pancakes).

 

After Breakfast

I made sure I had time to walk through his garden and orchard.

(If you think the following pictures are pretty – I saved some of my best ones to use with Bible verses and quotes!  I never tire of seeing what is ripening and blooming in Sam’s acreage.)

Truckers’ Sunday was held at the church where we had the truck show, pig roast, and concert last night.

Pastor J. R. Damiani always has creative ways to raise funds for TFC!

 

After the service, the chapel was open for visitors – and many took advantage of the opportunity.

 

 

When there are plenty of TFC staff to show the chapel to visitors, Cerwin and I enjoy inviting children to sit in the tractor.  Most of them want to blow the air horn.

 

Staff in Attendance on Sunday

 

 

Chaplain Sam and Margaret Houchins, Elkton, MD

 

Peg and Bunny O’Hare – Director of Chaplains

 

Cerwin and Sam Rittenhouse

Since TFC is restructuring – from regions to a leadership team – Cerwin and Sam thought they should have their last picture together as Northeast Region Director and Assistant Director.  We have been serving with TFC in the Northeast Region since February 1990.

As of October 1, Cerwin is Director of Chapel Construction.  Sam is Pastoral Care Associate – an assignment within the Office of Chaplains.

This would be us. 

My ministry assignment as of October 1 is Director of Communication.  We are excited about the opportunities these assignments afford us. 

We are blessed!
