Our day of rest and worship. Today we went to Grace
Community Church in Rochester, NH. We didn’t know a lot of
the music, but the words to the songs were great. It was a lively
service, and we could tell this was a very active church with lots
of outreach opportunities.
This church has three services, plus an Indonesian service in the
afternoon. One project they have coming up on September 20 is
called “Go Tell it On the Mountain.” On that day there will be
Christians all over New Hampshire climbing 50 high peaks in
the state for the very specific purpose of praying for our nation
and the presidential elections from these peaks.
Pastor Bernie Quinn preached a great message about the woman
of Sidon asking for her daughter to be healed of demon
possession, and Jesus’ response that taught the disciples a lesson
on faith. This was from Matthew 15: 21 to 28.
After church we drove the short distance to Portsmouth, NH to
see the Tall Ships that are in the harbor this weekend. It was
pretty warm and we weren’t able to park very close - ok for me,
but harder for Norma. On the way back I had her wait at the
Visitor’s Center while I went to get the car to come back to pick
her up.
Then we came back to Dover, NH, where we are staying, and
had a late lunch. Starbucks is across the street from our motel,
so we went there after lunch and got our drinks to take back to
our room with us.
I spent the rest of the afternoon downloading pictures, e-mailing
some to Connee that she wanted, and talking on the phone to
Coni Harris, and Dave. I may still make another call or two
before I go to bed, but for now I’m ready to close the computer
down for the night and get ready for tomorrow, then relax a bit
before bed.
