Title: Star Trek
Post by: Summicron on November 23, 2007, 08:43:42 PM
Here it is the starship Enterprise, in Albefurra Portugal, actually the new town hall, its a gorgeous piece of concrete, and at the back if you go down a very steep ramp into what looks like a garage, you'll find a super Christian fellowship, somebody is always there to translate what is happening from Portugese into English. And across the road, you can dine in splendour at the bombeiras station, the fire station, their canteen, which is open to the public.

Greatphoto Micheal and thanks for the commentary to go with the photo. It is always nice to have some kind of description and history.

Great photo.  I'm surprised and glad to read that there's a Christian fellowship there - I wouldn't have expected that in Portugal.

Dear Al, oh there are lots of Christian fellowships, especially in predominantly Catholic countries, and very evangelical ones at that. How we found this on was an old lady, had a stall in the street, well there was a row of stalls there, and she had her bible open on top of some fruit, so I picked it up to show Margery, and to see if it was a bible and not a missal. She couldn't speak English and we knew no Portugese, so she gave us a tract with the address of the church printed on, it was then a matter finding the street, on the map, and we got there the following Sunday, I must admit it wasn't easy, until we saw the sign, and then it took us a while to realise the church was at the bottom of this ramp, it had been a huge basement garage, and now it was a church.
