I had meant to blog about this before the trip, but oh well, better late than never.
On August 10-11, of this year, Allen Tomlinson, minister of First Congregational Church in Merrimack and myself led a small group on a historical tour of the above towns in Massachusetts.
Friday
We caravaned through Southern VT, to Williamstown, MA where I lectured on the Haystack Prayer Meeting of 1806, a significant event in world missions in Missions Park, Williams College. In Missions Park, there is a monument marking the exact spot where those 5 men prayed during that fierce thunderstorm on a hot Saturday Afternoon in August.
From Williamstown, we travel south to Historical Stockbridge and visited the 1st Congregational Church where I lectured on Jonathan Edward's Ministry in Stockbridge. From there we visited the library, which has a reading desk of Jonathan Edwards, very cool. We also visited the local cemetery, and sundial that marks the spot where Jonathan Edwards home once sat.
It rained most of the day, but I feel most folks found the historical sites interesting and fun.
