Williamsburg

Ferry across James River on way back home.
I can't figure out this sign, I didn't pay for the ticket. It was so cold, not too many folks out on street to ask. I guess meat, fruit and water are available here.
Bruton Anglican Church
This lectern was donated by T. Roosevelt in 1907 for the 300yr anniversary of Jamestown. Original church was founded in Jamestown.
Angel of Peace is standing on earth, one foot in American, one in Great Britain. Eagle and British Lion support the globe. The British Washington's coat of arms in between. Three tablets under that, with the front one saying "To The Glory of God" . It held a Bible given by King Edward. I guess they just recently took the Bible off and put it in the archives. There is a baptismal font that has been in use since they received it from England. George Washington stood there as sponsor for as many as 10 of his slaves. It is still in use today.

We had a great time of fellowship, met up with Debbie's brothers and Patty. Greatest ribs in USA.

We continue to be in prayer for not only our church but for the Church.


"Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place." (2Cor 2:14 NASB)
