JUST BEAUTIFUL !

[siwawervintar]

Why are there vacant pews??? Where have the parishioners gone????

[mommygaga1928]

That is so beautiful! I loved it.

I saw their website, and it appears that the church is active, with a reasonably large membership and a variety of ministries. This could have been a concert by the men's group for other interested people or a meeting of one of the ministries.

It could also be that Detroit hit 90 F that day, and people had family activities planned before school resumed and a glorious Michigan summer approached its end.

I remember this at Sunday School back in the 1970's and so too in chapel.

pleasing the ONE audience than those in front....

[daveebella09]

where two or three are gathered together GOD is in their midst....

[daveebella09]

i love to see men singing in the church....

[basinandtowel]

It's so sad the church is empty.

[sparky88uk]

True but wherever one or two are gathered in His name God will be there.

Im not long saved so I was once one of those who were not in church but I pray will never be absent again until we worship where there is no Temple but where God is the Church.

[basinandtowel]

Good point. Blessings.

[basinandtowel]

...but it's wherever two or three are gathered... i know what you meant, but the emphasis is on the fact that more than one person is gathered.

Maybe if the clergy were better it would make a difference. I remember the methodist vicar who officiated at my dads funeral. He was a vile man and upset myself, my brother and my sister. No wonder churches are empty!

[basinandtowel]

I'm quite sorry that you had such an upsetting experience. However, I can't sympathize with your generalization about clergy. I've had nothing but good experiences.

[kernowoggie]

I know they are not all bad but when you are dealing with the loss of a loved one you expect better. Frankly, if we had asked a devil worshipper to say a black mass at dads graveside it would have made a no less unpleasant experience and at least they don't condemn everyone and protect child perverts.

[weeweelegs]

Keep lifting Him up brothers, it's all about Him, hallelujah He is risen, great singing boys, thank you.

[KoiNadi]

Beautiful.

Truly Blessed.
