Yes I like it here a lot.
Rev. John. P. Blondo is one one those pastors I get! He kept it oh so real with his congregation. His wife is such a prayer warrior and I apprecilike his entire family.
Full gospel church with an amazing praise and worship session lead by Rev. Steven Carey. The music is to die for, too bad Yelp has stopped allowing me to upload videos for a while now. (Only me?)
It was communion Sunday and a pleasure being in a house of the Lord to partake.
My only issue was the congregation isn't as welcoming as the many Churches I've been to. Usually it's a hug fest and a "thanks for coming are you gonna be back?" type of welcome vibe. At this one many in the Church (not all) were cold. Not during service or no it was all fire then! But I received some weird stares and even limp hands when we gathered for prayer.
I'm posting how I felt as a first timer here in the hope that members read this and become more cognizant, a bit more open/welcoming to newbies. Don't be shy, we made a choice to be here, we WANT to be here so help bring us closer to God by your acts of kindness rather than words. Start with a simple smile.....Even I had to be the one to make the first move with an Usher who was stationed there to GREET folks.
Saints, we gotta to do better.
I'm definitely coming back though.
And that hearty handshake as I was leaving from Rev. Blondo made up for his congregation's blunder. Pun? Maybe.
The End. read more
