Where I’ve attended since ‘81, I got to less services.

We used to have midweek services as well as Sunday evening ones.

Both are gone.

As our youth grew up and moved away from the area, they go either elsewhere or not at all, and the demographics of the neighborhood has shifted..

However, our church has MORE services than ever before!

“How does THIS work?”, you ask?

Well; we have THREE congregations using the same physical buildings: a mostly black congregation has worship and praise times 1/2 hour after the original, mostly white congregation has finished on Sunday morning.

There is also a smaller, mostly Hispanic group that meets in the fellowship hall as well.

It’s been an interesting 5 years now!

The Word is being preached and is getting out!
