Thought I'd show off the adorable church we called home for the past eight weeks: this is Georgetown Baptist, membership: about 20 (including us).
Our pastor, Richard Shaw, is a great teddy bear of a guy. His sermons are always full of the most colorful, amazing stories, and he talks to everyone after the service as if we're one big happy family. This is Tim, Rebecca and Stephanie talking with him after our 11:00 service.
The church itself was built circa 1865. The original members were 10 families from the South and 10 families from the North. It was founded as a church of reconciliation, and that's been their mission ever since. Aren't the stain glass windows gorgeous?
Big pipe organ (playerless, unfortunately) and hand-carved pews (mostly unoccupied, unfortunately).
After church, we head down the stairs for a home-cooked fellowship dinner. For college students, this is heavenly.
Here are us girls, after some tasty, fellowship chicken.
L'Eglise Baptiste
Sincerely,

That sounds so nice, and how neat to go to a church that was originally built on reconciliation we only learn about really. Thanks for sharing that! And the stained glass windows are gorgeous!
hi! wow, that's a neat church.
Check out my blog, it's sort of experimental. Let me know what you think.
