We enjoyed a beautiful Lord's Day yesterday. Dennis gave an excellent lesson on being spiritually fruitful. Then we all gathered at "The Tabernacle" for a potluck. The Tabernacle is (now) a cabin on the property that belongs to one of the Highway congregation's earliest families...the Bodifords. The original structure (around 100 years old) was an open pavilion that was used as an assembly place in the summer (the one room schoolhouse nearby serving in the colder months) for the Highway congregation before building the place where we now meet. In the years since, it has morphed into a comfortable cabin that the family still uses for special occasions. It was my family's first time to be there for a gathering. It is set way off the road on the OLD county road that ran along the Brazos River (now a scenic private drive). It is a beautiful and restful setting and all had a wonderful time with good food, a short history lesson and reminiscing about the years gone by, and fine fellowship. Afterwards we met back up at the church building for an early evening service and heard a wonderful study on Genesis 19 by Ron.
