Church history in our back yard

Yesterday on our way into Baltimore to visit someone at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Pastor Chris took us by the oldest church in Maryland, Sater's Church. Established in 1742 by some of the earliest American settlers, Sater's Church seeps with history. Call me old, but I love history, especially church history. Walking through the cemetery was one of the coolest things I've done in a long time--reading what was written on the tomb stones and imagining what it must have been like to have been a follower of Christ in those early unsettled days of our country--imagining what it must have been like to step foot on a country that granted religious freedom. That's a pretty awesome thought.

How awesome to be remembered this way!
