September 1st Fellowship

The first Sunday of September was uplifting on Clinton Blvd in West Jackson!  Started the morning with well dressed and ebullient Unity Fellowship family honoring Orlando D. (with a period!) Franklin and First Lady Courtney Franklin on their 9th anniversary leading Unity.  Pastor Kenneth Stroman of Houston, Texas gave us all a sermon for the ages, and Sister Leah Curry-Williams and Brother Bibbs touched me deeply with their words.

Next, I was able to spend some time visiting the Parkview Church of Christ under the leadership of Dr. Richard Wiggins who preached about a sacrificial faith from Hebrews 11:4 -5.  It’s always good to see the many Tougaloo alums at Parkview - a member pulled out a 1978 Tougaloo yearbook with photo of my pops!
