On Sunday morning I went to the same church I have attended in New York for the past 19 years. This is East 7th St Baptist Church or Grafittii Church.
A man from Lebanon gave his testimony and then his son preached and tap danced at the same time.
Then we did adult Sunday School , and after this there was a fundraising lunch. You had to pay $10 for a very simple lunch , but then the fun began. Pastor Kareem began the extra fundraising, He was supporting the older people's ministry and his elder son supporting the young people's work. The one who raised the least got a pie in the face. Well not a complete pie just the jam like topping. It got quite competitive as things were auctioned off and dramatic appeals made. The son got the pie in the face, however each side raised over $800.
The most fun fundraiser I have seen in a Baptist church.

Monday was Memorial day so I had a day off.
Today and Wednesday I will be at the NGO committee.
