Deputation in Pennsylvania

On August 21, we shared what the Lord was doing in our lives with the people at First Grace Brethren Church of Philadelphia. This is the church we attended for two years before we headed off to PEI. We had an absolutely wonderful time with these people. I was impressed that they had made the technological leap to be able to display my powerpoint presentation. After church, a group of us headed out to a Hibachi restaurant where the chefs cook your meal right in front of you. I'm not sure if they are actors first, and then chefs, or the other way around. Anyway, we had a hoot at this restaurant. Following a couple of hours of great chatting, we had to say goodbye to our FGBCP friends and say hello to our Calvary Baptist friends.

Calvary Baptist Church in Bristol, PA is the church we attended for a year after we left Maine. We wern't able to do candidating at the church because the there was a special event in the community that day which the church got involved in, but we were able to spend some quality time with some of the people that were most influential in our lives while we attended that church. We again had a great time of getting caught up on everybody's lives and sharing what God was doing in ours. All in all, it was a great day. But it wasn't quite over yet...we still had to meet with Shannon's sister and her boyfriend. I won't go into that here. You'll have to ask for details about Erin's beau through more private channels. :)
