Saturday 33 folks from 1st Congregational Church in Merrimack and Christ Presbyterian Church took a chartered bus and drove to Exeter, NH and Newburyport, MA to retrace the final hours of George Whitefield. It rained most of the time, but it did not seem to matter for most folks. Rev. Allen Thomlisen and I prepared some lectures on Whitefield and most folks found it very informative and inspiring.
It was a a fun time and most folks want us to do this again. Allen and I have been discussing a trip to Northhampton, MA to explore Jonathan Edward's ministry there in the 18th Century. I am looking forward to that!
The picture is of Whitefield preaching at the Moorfields outside of London. Notice the horn and drum. Preaching in the outdoors was quite a challenge back then.
