Trip to Maine

We spent an encouraging weekend of fellowship and sharing with the congregation of West Rockport Baptist Church  in West Rockport, ME.  

On Saturday morning, we took a hike up Beech Hill with several families from the church.  The hill was covered with a blanket of blueberry bushes.  Sarah & Rebecca joined others in the group to pick berries that remained after the main harvest (left-center photo).  There are only low blueberry bushes on the hill and you can see a beautiful panoramic view of the Atlantic. Maine is famous for growing some of the best blueberries in the world.

In the afternoon, we drove to the nearby scenic seaside towns of Rockland and Camden.  We took the 1/2 mile walk on the levy out to the Breakwater Lighthouse in the Bay and took many photos along the way (top-left and bottom photos).  The warm sun was shining and a cool breeze blowing.  Swiss weather. :-)

We had a potluck dinner in the evening sharing with the church in an informal setting.  On Sunday, I (Tim) spoke in the adult Sunday School, spent the afternoon and lunch with the missions committee and shared about the ministry during the evening service.

We stayed with a nice family (with four daughters) we stayed with during our last visit to Maine in '05.  Sarah & Rebecca enjoyed their time with the other girls.
