We also discovered a “Choirsters bumping stone” where each boy chorister gets his head bumped when he is accepted into the choir (the girls have a Bible bumped on the their head)! We found this to be quite an interesting tradition and wondered if we should start a similar tradition at Providence!
After a few hours in Salisbury we met back at the bus and made our way to Stonehenge. We spent an hour looking at the rocks from many different angles and learning the ancient history of this spot.
We stayed at a Youth Hostel this night and Dr. Schellenberg, with some home made us a wonderful spaghetti supper. It was yummy!
From Stephanie Andrews:
We found that in Canada things aren’t as well preserved as here in England. We were walking around the Salisbury Cathedral and we found a tombstone, the name of the person was unknown but the date was 1107-1129. It made me feel small in the huge expanse of history that we have. Thinking about how small we are in history made me think about how small we are to God, which made me feel both insignificant and significant at the same time.

Thank you SO much, Karen and Brenda, for this blog!! It's wonderful to see/hear where you've been and what you've been experiencing! Our prayers are with you as you continue to minister in this way!
ReplyDeleteThat font is stunning. I hope you got a lot of pictures of it!
ReplyDeleteCheryl - Thank-you. I couldn't do it without Brenda, her pictures are amazing!
ReplyDeletePreston - Both Brenda and I took many pictures...it is an amazing font, hard to walk away from it! I wish I could see a baptism in it, although when we talked to one of the guides, he said that they haven't done a full immersion with it, the largness of it simply allows the family to gather around a bigger area and then more people can see! It was very interesting!
