Holly Communion at First Baptist Church, Washington, DC

Today I miss my bus.. I taken the long way to church today to First Baptist. I was leasoning my cassette of Calvary Service for this year forgotten what day it was. Getting down to Dupont Circle Metro Station started walking down P St to 15th St to Whole Food market for something for Pot Luck at church. I when over to Starbuck's before I pick up something GOOD...

I should of gone there first. They had fresh fried cat fish, egg and cheese, bacan, fried potato's and more. They also sell coffee in front of the store and has a good amount of tables. They also had sushi and alot of good sandwich for sale as well. After haveing my starbucks and thinking about my church looking at both Ash Wedesday service pulpit's. Seeing the picture of Amy and some of the staff. And looking at my watch and see if I can get back to Calvary service on time. But I need to pay for my event's.

I never told anyone. But sometime when I go to First Baptist I feel a little guilty. How one person can love two church in his life. I saw how each on do what make there church that being a special part of the DC area. I saw the special thing each pastor that bring to the community.

  1. One A person bring a careing and understand with the church memeber and the community.
  2. Two A person bring a good story telling also the same as One.
  3. Three A person who says the prayers of the people and Lord’s prayer with so much though behind it as well One and Two.
  4. Four A person a Latino pastor with understanding with the Latino congregation with a cents of Family and bring the word of GOD to life with it chuch member as well as One to Three.

Each of this pastor bring so much gift to church. It a place for like more or you or any one who looking for a community of faith. And give there life to Jesus and pick up your cross.

Before we taken communion we wood say the church covenant together.

Today I saw what First Baptist Church Holly Communion was like. The Church Deacon and pass deacon help on Communion service this Sunday. They Started from the back of the Sanctuary side by side. They were 12 deacon walking up to the pulpit. And brought the bread of life down to congregation. Two to the left two to the midel and two to the right. They pass the tray and each of us taken the bread of life. When every body was service. The deacon walk to the back of the sanctuary back doors. They all 12 walk from the back midel door down to the pulpit to return the tray of the bread of life. Then the pastor servce the choir and deacon and the choir. They did the same with the grape juice in the communion cups. Debbie said. "I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever." Jim said "this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new covenant." I hope I type it wright. Each time we taken it first the bread of life then the grape juice each time.

After the service ended for the day. We'll walk down to the fellowship hall to have pot luck together. I meet a member of at First Baptist I haven't seen for two year at the Pentagon Computer store. We talk about the good old day's. I saw Paulo at church and he getting married in June... :) Why to go... You and soon to be wife will be happy together. My all your days bring you many blessing.

It was nice to see Jim and Mike and others.. Don't forget Al... After Pot Luck we started to make sandwitch for the homeless. We made over 500 pluss sandwitch. They haven't made this many sandwitch before. He, he, he, I think I had a good hand to helping in getting it way over 500 sandwitchs. First I put down the meat, Someone put the cheese on it, And last but not lease place the bread on top. After so many sandwitch they bring them to another table to get rap. Put back in the bread bag and place in the box. After all as been work on. All the sandwitch been put in the walk in Refrigerator to be taken by the people to feed the homeless. I enjoy the time together.

Walk with one of the memeber of First Baptist Church back to Dupont Circle Metro Station and gone home.

I'm looking forward in going back home to Calvary to choir. And to see all the people the wonderful people of Calvary from the pulpit. Enjoying to give my best in the church choir. Thank you for shairing the day with you.
