Today was quite a full day of church events -- we celebrated the ordination of three of our pastors, Revs. Norman, Alfred, and Joe, and later that evening had a huge 40th anniversary thanksgiving dinner, with about 95 tables (nearly 1000 people) at Floata Restaurant. At the ordination, it was cool to meet folks from Franklin Gospel whose lives had been touched by Pastor Norman's work; he also helped out at Fountain Alliance for two years before coming to VCAC. The dinner that night was also fun, but just a bit loud for me; I needed to take a walk to get the ringing out of my ears.
