Neat Church!

Well this past Sunday we went with my brother to a Paster that he works with Church. Cross Mountain in Porterville,Ms. Bro. Doug Stokes runs a lodge/Church type deal for handicap people. He takes them on hunts and of course they stay at the lodge. Some of the peoples disabilites don't allow them to stay away from a swing bed type home so some come to hunt and eat and then they transport them back to their facilities where they live. Its a real neat yet beautiful place and on Sundays they have Church. Murray has been and worked several hunts with Bro. Doug so he invited Murray to bring his family and eat and the guys go on a hunt during Church times. They guys stayed but me,nelie,mom, and dad went to Meredian and back. Its just a big building with cedar and cypress wood with wild animals mounted all around. In the first picture you can see my brother on the left and Bro. Doug on the right. In behind them is the pulpit so to speak and as you sit and look up front your looking out that big glass down a mountain side. Its beautiful.

Stuff out front.


A table they made in the hallway.

This is inside the church. They have chairs so that they can be easily moved to pull the vans in and unload the handicap people right in the room. Every 4th Sunday is biker Sunday and you can ride your bikes in and sit on them during the service. The bikes in the picture are Bro. Dougs and his sons. They just leave them there. Some people sit in these rocking chairs and swings during the service. I sit in the fold up chair right there.

This is a full body mount of a deer leaping out on the wall as you come in.

This is some of the many cabins inside the Church.

This buggy is also just sitting inside the church. You can see the pool table behind it that the kids play with.

After Church while the guys went on a hunt me,nelie,mom,and dad went on to Meredian and ate. On our way at a tow company we saw Mater!!! haha
