Sunday went to church with Keith and Jane to 1st Baptist Church at Jacksonville, it is a huge church with thousands of people and there are several buildings that take up 3 city blocks with glass walkways in between the buildings.

Church started with adult lessons which Bj and I went to with K & J, they even had hot food before the lesson that you could eat during the lesson (amazing ;)

Then we went into the church service which opened with a huge choir singing some beautiful southern gospel song, they had a baptism which was right up in the very top of the building so you had big screens to look at because the auditorium was so big you couldn't even see the pastor baptising the people. The whole service is televised on TV. The Pastor preached a message, there was a song by the mens choir, then three generations got up and sung a song, there was a 12 year old boy, his dad, and his grandad, it sure was something to hear :)
I love the atmosphere of the worship, so large but I didn't mind at all.

After church we all came back to K & J's and had a lunch because it was Fathers Day. They did a cookout (bbq) consisting of Steak and salads. Kay made her potatoe salad, Laura made her Macaroni and cheese, American's seem to just love their Mac n cheese, don't see the attraction there myself :) We had 4 different deserts, there was soooo much food.

It is later in the arvo now and everyone has left, Keith is working on Jon's bike and a storm is brewing. I better run now. Pic's below are of our lunch with different ones.

Oh I forgot to tell you that bj and I spent quite a few hours in Walmart last night - it was great for a shopper like me. We looked at everything and brought a heap of stuff.
