We've had the greatest time camping for the past few weeks. We spent about 7 days in Prince E dward Island biking and exploring the gorgeous coastline. Sunday we were biking along the Confederation trail and stopped to chat with a couple from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Before we said goodbye, the man mentioned an old Baptist church nearby that lots of people liked to visit. " You might enjoy just seeing it", he said, and we thought we might stop by and take a look.
When we stopped at the church, we noticed there were folks going inside-not to tour, but to worship. The pastor waved at us and said ," service starts at 11, come on in" , so we did.
The small sanctuary was packed with maybe 150 people from all over the world as well as many locals(most dressed very casually like us) The couple we had met on the trail waved us over to sit with them. The singing was truly amazing. EVERYONE was singing!
WE learned that this tiny church only held services 2 months out of the year as a summer ministry and we just happened to be at the right place at the right time to learn about it.
It was truly one of the most powerful worship experiences we've shared in a long time. We had just prayed for our Sunday School class over breakfast earlier and then God saw fit to lead us to a group of believers on that beautiful morning to meet HIM.
WE miss you all and look forward to seeing you soon. Love you, Mary Alice and Jimmy
