A Full Sunday

We were up early this morning to provide the worship service for two nearby churches who share the same pastor – Falmouth United Methodist, Falmouth, PA, and Ludwig United Methodist, Bainbridge, PA . 

 TFC staff friends, Howard and Angie Moses, joined us in presenting the TFC ministry to these wonderful neighbors.

We were only able to take the promotional chapel to the church at Bainbridge.  Cerwin thought the rig was too large for the parking lot at Falmouth.

Even though the people from these churches live only a short distance from TFC’s International Office, and drive by it many times, they had no idea what we did.  They were amazed at the extent of our ministry to truck drivers and that these chapels are built locally.  We made several good contacts, and hopefully found some volunteers for the office staff.

I followed in our CRV since we needed a vehicle to get from one church to the other.

One of the really nice things about visiting a neighboring church is that we were soon back at the International Office…

…and backing the chapel into its designated parking place.

After getting home, we went to the pavilion in our back yard to visit my stepmother’s family.  It’s always good to spend time with them.

The Evening

We enjoyed a wonderful concert by our church’s youth group and advisors.  Imagine these songs in beautiful, acapella harmony: The Love of God ~ How Deep the Father’s Love for Us ~ Living by Faith ~ Take My Hand and Lead Me, Father ~ Sweeter As the Years Go By, plus many others.

In the middle of the program, they did a cute skit for the children ~  how a bear taught the raccoons, beavers, and porcupine a lesson in playing together.

Another Sunday has come to a close.
