West Wilmington Seventh-Day Adventist Church

Wife and I are invited to a wedding up in Delaware. I warn her that when the whole wedding thing is over there is not much to do that I know of in Wilmington on a Sunday (looks like the old Blue Laws are still in effect) so we are not going to spend the day up there sightseeing, the city is just a tiny bit larger than Rockville.
The Church is open though and very receptive to the wedding party and guess. Everything was running well the pastor presented the invited guess with a very nice not too long ceremony along with some humorous antidotes. The church is of typical mid century mod design, it was built in 1965 nothing fancy but well kept and it serves it’s real purpose looks like it can hold a couple of hundred people. No it is not a mega stadium sized church on steroids just a nice small more intimate place for the local populace. This is what makes things nice cause everybody knows everybody there by name and history. Very family oriented and warm to us outsiders.
They have an auxiliary building in which the reception was held. Apparently this is a multi purpose room with cinder block walls for everything from basket ball to a event room complete with kitchen and food prep area. However this being a old school church (remember 1965) there was no air conditioning in there so it was hot as hel. oopps sorry… it was very hot in there. Still the community member church was able to continue the celebration of the newlyweds there to allow everything to continue without too many hiccups in spite of the heat. Note: you also need a real sound system in there not just a boom box hooked up to a couple of small speakers in addition to a air conditioner unit.
Outside of these two structures lies a barn with a really BIG black walnut tree beside it, that was dropping nut bombs right and left. So that was the highlight of our visit to Delaware beside the wedding of course. We gathered a lot of black walnuts after the whole thing was over. I’ll use them to make some black walnut ice cream.
