Red Carpet Trip to Springfield - April 21, 2007

Red Carpet

Red Carpet Rolled Out at Lincoln Sites

With a full bus, a nice breakfast box, and yearning to learn more about a favorite son of Illinois forty-five First Presbyterian Church members and friends jaunted south across the Illinois prairie to the state capitol of Springfield on Saturday, April 21, 2007, as part of the Red Carpet Fellowship Trips program.

The sun was just rising as we met in the parking lot of First Presbyterian Church before 6:00 a.m., picked up our breakfasts, and climbed aboard the bus.
Ready to leave before 6:00 a.m.

Approaching the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library
Our first stop was the new Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.  The group enjoyed the day there touring the wonderful new museum highlighting the life of President Lincoln and his family. If you have not been there, 45  Presbyterians can’t be wrong; you should go!  There are many things to do and see there for all ages. Click on their website at www.alplm.org.
