Massachusetts: The Land of Arnold Palmers

Delayed Post from 7/1/11 PM

Our assembly of cyclists and navigators arose for an early meal at First Congregational Church of Hopkinton.  After the delightful feast with the men's group, we were allowed the privilege to share our mission and join them in their morning activities. Shortly following the ending prayer and fellowship our team packed up and had Bible study. We went over the topic of "Home" and in Luke 2 how it must have felt for the pregnant Mary to have no place to give birth to baby Jesus.  Homes provide protection, a sense of belonging, and a place for meeting along with many other things. After our discussion we set off for Wenham, MA where we would be staying at Gordon College.

The ride started at 10:30 and we went at a relaxed pace. We quickly made our way to Harvard University - the oldest university in the U.S. (est. 1636). While there we met up with Divya, a friend of Andy, who currently attends the institution. From there the group departed for lunch, and Jon got lost on his own for a little while. Turns out that Massachusetts has a Cambridge St. in every town. The ensuing ride to Gordon College had cool breezes and a beautiful countryside. Upon arrival we were invited by Tom and Lynn for swimming and the evening meal. We were able to relax and fellowship with them for a little while before heading back to campus to sleep. Tomorrow is our LAST DAY and we all cannot believe that the tour is coming to a close. However, there is certainly more to come.

The Meredith Andrews concert is in Easton, PA on July 8th at Calvary Baptist Church. You can purchase tickets at http://sister.americanbible.org/.

Goodnight World!
