Sunday - Church Time - part(1)

Sunday church in Palmer

Sunday morning, we had the opportunity to attend a church service in Palmer. It was a peaceful and refreshing time, and something about sitting in church while surrounded by Alaskan beauty made it all the more special. Last Sunday we were in church in Dallas, and this Sunday found us gathered with fellow believers in Alaska. It’s pretty neat to think about how, all across the country and in different time zones, brothers and sisters in Christ are lifting their voices together .

The service had the song “Trust and Obey,” which ended up being the theme of the whole meeting. It was encouraging to hear the testimonies and prayers of others. Ryan really appreciated Bro. Erwin’s message—he spoke on the importance of trusting and obeying God, which hit home in such a timely way. Alex loved the singing, and his favorite was “Fill My Cup, Lord.” Clark thought it was pretty cool that church was held right there at the campground.

After church, we stayed for lunch and were treated to a classic haystack meal—with a choice of beef or moose! The food was delicious, but the fellowship was even sweeter. We enjoyed visiting with the Brown family and getting to know Bro. Erwin a little more. Hannah, Katelynn, and Kayla also shared some of their upcoming plans for their time in Alaska, and it was so fun hearing what’s ahead for them.

By the afternoon, we were back on the road—thankful for a morning of church, connection, and the reminder that no matter where we are, God’s family is never far away.Read more
