The final day of my trip concluded with Sunday school and services at Maranatha Baptist Church, the church where President and Mrs. Carter attends. President Carter regularly teaches Sunday school classes at the church. In fact when selecting a church after leaving office, President Carter wanted a church that would allow him to teach bible study classes and be active in the church community. On a side note both President and Mrs. Carter are deacons in the church and active in the church community at Marnatha.
President Carter’s Sunday school teaching not only tied in the weekly reading, the lesson also tied into the way President Carter lives his life, handles issues and helps/works others.
I think the hearing him speak about God and seeing how it is the foundations for his life was a good way to end the trip. From his message my take back was that regardless where you go in life, who you met or what you do, God will be there for you and when you let God into your life and have a relationship with God you will have guidance for all the obstacles that may come your way.
