What members of Latter Glory Church lack in numbers, they make up for by praising God. We spent at least half of the first hour singing and dancing before they said ‘NOW let’s get down with Jesus.’ This was followed by an hour and a half sermon (I hope my pastors don’t get any ideas!). I’d love to get a CD of their Christian-reggae music, but preferably without the smothered microphones and booming loudspeakers.
I’ve deliberately attended different churches each Sunday, and find that they each have their own distinct flavor. Pastor Ben’s Church (that’s what we call it) included lively dancing and lasted about two hours. St. Theresa’s Catholic Church was very traditional until a live goat joined our crowded dance down the aisle (for a sacrifice of thanks); that service was just one and a half hours. Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN) was a new congregation singing A Cappella and welcoming me to share the vision of Faith Alive. Latter Glory seemed to have the youngest congregation members, including Ann from the salon and Joshua from IT. In addition to Dr. Chris’s family, the neighborhood lady who makes beancakes each morning was also there. (Photo courtesy of Frank Lozano)
