Visit to Grace Christian Baptist Church


Alice and the girls tried a new church, Grace Christian Church. It's actually a Baptist church, affiliated with the Baptist Convention and everything; they just don't use Baptist in the name.

Alice was invited to the church by Frances Anne Elliott - you saw her in the Movie Sunday post.


It was a larger church than Ravenwood, and had lots more young people, which Alice says is necessary for a church to survive. There were no young people at Ravenwood - everyone was 65+ - and when Alice asked where the teenagers were, she was told that "teenagers are too messy."


Alice liked Grace Christian Church, but it was too hot! We decided that we may all go back when it is cooler.

For the record, granddaughter Mary Pat said that God was probably doing backflips not only having seen her at church two Sundays in one month, but two BAPTIST churches at that.
