Sunday night arrival

lt was an early morning wake up in Peachtree City so we could have our stuff packed up before 8am service.  The kids did a great job getting everything packed up and getting it all cleaned up.  l would say no one could even tell that we stayed there except that you would have noticed 48 extra people sitting around waiting for church to start and the fact that we more than doubled the attendance for the early service.  We were blessed to hear the very first sermon by their new pastor and it felt like they are in very good hands for the future.

We got on the road and stopped at a National Park in South Carolina for lunch where we made sandwiches and had a chance to relax with some beautiful scenery and explore a little bit of nature with the walking trails.

 After lunch we continued on into our destination state and found a nice warm welcome waiting for us at St Luke Lutheran Church in Taylorsville.  We spent the next several hours busy unpacking vans, setting up the sleeping quarters, playing on the swing set and meeting people from the other group.  Dinner was a wonderful spread of pulled pork, mac n cheese, baked beans and salad.  Finishing off the night with club time, which is like a large group praise/devo time and then split up into family/small group time.

 What a long couple days leading up to us getting here and we are glad to have arrived safely and are thankful for all the prayers so far and look forward the week.  For now we bid you goodnight as we need our rest and jump right into the week full swing at 7am tomorrow.

QOTD

"Why did we not bring any cheese balls"

POTD

Forty-eight went on a trip
Into the blue Ridge mountains
Ready to spread the word throughout
Everywhere we went
Forty-eight went on a trip
Loving the low humidity
Into NC we went
Enough excitement for one day
Sleep sleep sleep we all go now
