Eufaula,
Alabama
In
this part of the country there are still many churches with no ethnic
diversity. Most (but not all) are all white, all black, etc.
Four
years ago I attended the “Thankful Baptist Church” here in
Eufaula, Alabama. These folks had never seen or met me before. I was the only non-African American in the congregation. They
very graciously invited me to share a bit before the sermon and even
provided a love offering for the ministry at the end of the service.
Which
was rather humbling, because:
Early
in the meeting when they took up their regular offering, I placed a
twenty dollar bill in the plate which was my tithe for that
particular week.
The
young man leaned down and asked if I needed change.
Opened
my eyes to the relative poor circumstance of these dear folks.
This
year I was out early enough Sunday morning to sing at the nursing
home in town for a half hour before driving over to this same church where I was
again given the opportunity to share a bit.
May
God Bless You!
Yours
in Christ,
