Walk across the Mississippi
We went 10-12 miles along a dirt road to the Maplewood Church. Special music 3 out of 4 Sundays as they share a Pastor. The small congregation 15-20 host up to 100 people every Sunday from Easter to Thanksgiving(closed in winter). the music trio "Trinity" Mike, Darlis and Larry were wonderful. Larry played a concertina (small accordion) he bought from Willie the Polka King. Whenever I hear polka music again I will always remembe this little church with the strains woven through the worship of old Gospel music. I t was delightful and I expected to see Garrison Keillor walk through the door any moment. The small congregation hustled everyone downstairs for a lovely lunch with gracious and excellent efficiency. There was even a lady there at the coffee to stir your cream/sugar and send you on to the tables. Read sraight from the Word on the life of John the Baptist.
