This morning Peter drove us over to Rosehill Baptist
Church in Alexandria, VA, where Pastor Upshaw has been pastor for 43
years. Henry taught the Bible Study hour
and morning service. The last time we
were there was on deputation in 1989. This has been one of our most faithful
churches. After the service we were
taken to an authentic Chinese restaurant, meaning the employees all spoke
Chinese. The food was really good, too.
After lunch we headed toward Prince Frederick, MD., and
the New Life Baptist Church where Pastor DiChiacchio has been for 10
years. He and his family were at
Independent 30 years ago when I joined there.
It was a full house of people (literally, they meet in a house); and our
three sons were all there. Henry
preached.
After services we headed back to Clinton in two
cars. We met at the IHop and Peter
decided to go home having the need to get up early for work in the
morning. So Matthew and Joe and the rest
of us had ‘dinner”. Henry got blueberry pancakes,
I had ice cream, Sara had a crepe and the boys had a full breakfast. Then after that we all hugged and went back
to the Gill’s house. Joe is going to
take us to the airport in the morning.
