Mission: Tuscaloosa 2012
Our group of ten mission trip participants was commissioned near the end of the 11:00 worship service, had a brief lunch, loaded the van, and took off for Tuscaloosa.

It was an uneventful five-hour drive from Athens to Tuscaloosa. We were met at First Presbyterian Church by a long time (50+ years) member who showed us around, told us where all the food and facilities are, and took our picture as we posed on the church's staircase.

We left to find some dinner about the time that another mission team, this one from Wake Forest Presbyterian Church in North Carolina, arrived. The two teams are sharing the space at FPC Tuscaloosa this week.
We found dinner, in fact we found an Athens restaurant: De Palma's. They couldn't do a table for 10 with no notice, so we had two tables of five.
