52 Weeks in Bedford County, VA, Week 2
Well, last week, I told you a bit about the schools in this neck of the wood and my time in them.
I have attended church off and on since I was small.
I have attended:
Forest United Methodist Church
Shiloh United Methodist Church
Rainbow Forest Church of God
Mentow Baptist Church
Leesville United Methodist Church
Blue Ridge Community Church
Bethlehem Baptist Church
I have changed churches for a variety of reasons...pastor changes, church upheavals, distance from home after a move... And there is no shortage of churches in this area to choose from.
I live 20 minutes from closest grocery store. Within 10 minutes of my home there are 5 churches (2 Methodist, 3 Baptist). Within 15 minutes of my home there are an additional 9 churches that I can think of. And I still haven't gotten to the grocery store!
We live in what is considered to be the Bible Belt. There are plenty of churches here to choose from. There are 109 different churches in Bedford County alone (and these are the ones that are listed). There are 166 churches listed in Lynchburg, City. 78 of them are Baptist. One of those Baptist Churches is known round the country, and perhaps the world.
Thomas Road Baptist Church, began by the late Reverend Jerry Falwell. TRBC was begun in 1956 with a group of 35 people. Now, there are over 24,000 members.

We love the Counting Churches game, use to play it all the time when we first moved here, but had to stop cause we ran out of numbers.
