Charleston, SC | Recap
I just spent the last few days dancing the Charleston. Well, maybe not the dancing part. First Baptist Church of Charleston brought Chad Lister in to lead worship for a few days, so I had the chance to tag along and play some drums. Good friends Patrick, Tyler, and Rachel were also along for the ride. I have to say that I love history. Charleston has plenty of history. Therefore, I love Charleston. FBC Charleston is the FIRST Southern Baptist Church, and boy, was it founded back in the DAY. Apparently, John Quincy Adams built this church with his bare hands…ok. Maybe not. But it was built by the same guy that built the Washington Monument. See:
We were only there Wednesday evening through lunch Friday, but I think we squeezed a lot of the town into that time period. We ate at East Bay Deli (Voted Charleston’s Best Deli), Boulevard Diner, Virginia’s on King (absolutely amazing), and even hit Saffron for dessert & coffee. We visited the battery, saw some really old cannons and monuments, went in the shops, and visited the Market.
On the ministry side, I got to make some great new friends. I always love getting to see how God is moving in other cities around the world. Fourteen kids accepted Christ for the first time and several more were interested in knowing more about what it means to walk with him.
Here are a few more photos from the trip:
I was able to snap this shot just in time. The church was doing baptisms…
