leam Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Because of the latest move we're again looking for a church home. After trying several, we hit upon First Baptist in Leesburg. Now, I'm not saying this is "the" church yet, however, here are some signs: 1. First Sunday we parked beside a car with a blue "SigSauer" sticker. 2. Second Sunday, in Sunday school, one of the ladies in class talks about how she communes with God while up in the deer stand. 3. Today I'm getting caliber recommendations on boar hunting before Sunday School starts. The SS teacher uses a 30-06 and his son a .243. 4. Wild game cookout is in a few weeks I think. 5. Today's regular SS teacher is out of town elk hunting. What do you think? Leam Edited September 13, 2009 by leam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Sure sounds like an NRA kind of church to me! I was kinda convinced with the bit about the Sig Sauer sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwx40x40 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 A friend of mine goes to a Church that has a Men's group that gets together a couple times a year to shoot Sporting Clays. Sounds a lot better than going golfing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 WOW! I love wild game cook outs! Sounds like a good one. Let us know how this goes. I'd love a good elk recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Robinson Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Leam, have you tried Sherwood Baptist in ALbany yet? They are the ones who made the "Facing the Giants" and "Fireproof" movies. Never been there but I hear alot of great things about it. Also, Porterfield Methodist in Albany is a big church that I hear alot of great about.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Thats fantastic, sorta how I found out we picked the right church. I had always wondered what the 4 bay garage behind our church was. At a church picanic the retired mt Senior walked over to me and struck up a conversation. I finally got around to asking what was in there. "Oh you want a tour?" he asked. "You bet" i told him and we walked over. When he flipped on the lights my jaw had to of hit the floor as inside were at least 100 of the most unbelievable examples of animal taxidermy I had ever seen. You name it it was there. Grizzly bear, Wild Boar, Ducks, African plains animals from spring buck to Elan. And many were done diorama style like a wild boar full size with a hunting boot stuck in barbed wire fencing as though he just bit it off the hunters leg. He said it was the stuff he could not fit in his home. I almost did not ask but curiosity got the better of me "Did you hunt and mount all these" I asked him. He said he had and had been an ameture taxidermist scince he was a teenager (hes approaching 90 now). He also added that scince he was a catholic priest and there was no women allowed in his life he had plenty of time for hunting. We both had a good laugh. The keg at all the church picnics is another bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the first church we checked out. Didn't fit us though, so we were supposed to be some place else. We'll be out of town this weekend but I'm looking forward t learning more.
