For the past three weekends, we have been traveling.
In each city, we have attended church services.
In Mississippi, we attended a Baptist Church.
In Georgia, we attend a wedding ceremony in a Catholic Church.
Today, I attended church services in a Presbyterian Church.
Before today's service, we hear the bells of the church. I hear what they call the Gathering Bells.
We participate in the Call to Worship, sing a hymn, and read a prayer of confession.
The scripture for today's message was from the Old Testament, 1Kings 17: 8-24
Today's choral Amen was Lord Make Us More Holy.
This hymn, is a traditional African-American Spiritual. Beautiful!
Everyone at the church gave this visitor (me) a warm welcome.
After services, the congregations meets for coffee and tea.
Later this week I will share pictures from places during my visit to Rochester, NY.
