Once again we come to the Shelter House,
to unite in songs of praise!

This morning, the church of God met at George Rogers Clark Park here in Springfield, Ohio. There were over 50 in attendance, including some visitors. This 248 acre park was the site of a battle between a unified Indian front and militiamen from Kentucky under the command of General George Rogers Clark. In this battle, known as The Battle of Peckuwe (Piqua), the Native American tribes of the Delaware, Miami, Wyandot, and Shawnee, supported by British troops from Canada, joined together to repel the advancement of the Colonial Army. This battle would become the largest Revolutionary War battle west of the Alleghenies.

On this absolutely beautiful day, the saints shared in songs of encouragement and victory. Afterward, Bro Dillow brought a lesson on running the race and used several illustrations about marathon runners. Bro Joe Coons also shared with us some of his personnel experiences in running as in his past he was an avid long distance runner. It was a encouraging lesson.

This meeting was followed by a potluck dinner on the grounds. Everyone contributed and it was a feast made for a King, or in this case, kings and priests!! After lunch, some of the children went frog hunting and Anna Coons caught the largest frog that many of us had ever seen! Other children caught small fish, tadpoles and crawl dads.

Several of the saints were out due to a local high school graduation, but we had a good time of fellowship.
