Today we accompanied Marilee to her church. It is a small church in Floral City, which is a small town in Florida.
A congregation of about fifty welcomed us warmly. We sang several rousing songs. Their church does not use instruments, but has a song master and the hymn books have shape notes as well as ordinary notes. We took communion with the rest of the church and then received a fine sermon by a young preacher who was in training for the ministry. The meeting was finished off with an adult baptism. Sally and I both enjoyed the meeting. Afterwards we were again warmly greeted by many of the people there. Thank you Floral City Church of Christ.
Sally and I had the rest of the day to ourselves, our plan was to visit John and Dorothy, two friends from the Soggy Bottom Bunch who are really nice. We had a lovely afternoon and they taught us how to play Rummikub, which was very entertaining. Jack and Julie (also from Soggy Bottom, who live next door) came over and chatted for a bit. We had a lovely time and have arrived back at the trailer exhausted.
