My Friend Jessica

Jessica

 

Jessica came into my life at a time when I felt alone. She recently joined my church after visiting for a while.

I don’t even know when we became friends all I know is now we are like sisters!

 

Church Family- Literally!

Church Family

 

So, when my family went down to Virginia we went to church- of course!

Going to church made my Birthday all the better (my birthday happened to be the day after Thanksgiving).

But I’m not blogging about my Birthday. I’m blogging about the fact that everyone who was at church was literally related to me- from the pulpit to the door.

At the church I attend in New York, everyone is not related to me; so going to church in Virginia and worshiping with family only seemed like a once in a life time experience.

In this picture is my family and all who attended service that night.

Oh, and before I end, to top off having a good birthday, the preacher- my cousin, preached a message using Isaiah 40 which is the exact scripture I’ve been dwelling on since the summer.

Isn’t Jesus good?

Here we are, my siblings and our cousins!!

And guess what? that’s not even half of us! So many are missing.

You see how I’m the only Blessed one to get bunny ears?

Last weekend at St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church there was a party. The neighborhood got together with the members of the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition to celebrate the redevelopment of the Kingsbridge Armory.

Sunday was my father’s birthday. After the congregation sang Happy Birthday to him and the benediction had gone up, Ayden ran up on the pulpit to give my dad a huge hug.

Happy Pen-Pal Day!

Pen-Pal Day 7June 2nd, 2013 was the Little Flock’s second Pen-pal day.

Pen-pal day begun last year when I was thinking of fun ways to get the children to write. I thought it would be awesome if the Literacy Club could write a group of children. The  Children’s choir at my church, a.k.a the Little Flock was the perfect match.

For two years in a row, during Spring, the kids would begin to write each other with the hope of meeting up in June. (Kudos to Miss Lurgen, Bishop Green, and my dear Sister Latrina for allowing the children to write one another.)

This Pen-pal day the Little Flock sung ‘ Shout to the Lord’ (which was lead by Journey….the little girl with her arms crossed) during the service. After service they all ate together then did fun activities to ‘break the ice’.

A huge thank you to Jesus for letting Pen-pal day be a success and a big thank you to the parents who worked along with me.
