Sunday, May17

We went to a church called Faithworld Reformed I think. It was a primarily black church. It was really fun. People dancing in the pews, swaying back and forth, and the choir belting it out to the sounds of some uptempo, contemporary, gospel music. I thought the pastor was having an athsma attack but then when he didn't reach for his inhaler I realized that he must have been doing that on purpose. The organ player never went and sat down, he stayed up there to add some sweet riffs to add some emphasis when the preacher shouted something. Carrie got a headache from the guy next to her, she thought he smelled like a blend of beer, cigarettes, and cotton candy. But overall it was a great experience. The musicians were just ridiculous.
