As you all know by now if you have read this blog, when it comes to Sunday, we go to church if at all possible. First of all because we want to stay spiritually connected during our journey and secondly to help me in finding interviews for my research on first generation believers. So far, we've only missed a couple of Sundays in our 12 weeks of travel. Today was a red-letter day of Sundays - to put it mildly.
After docking in Staten Island at a great rate (thanks to a referral from Looper friends Jim and Joan), we rented a car for three days. Sunday morning we headed to the Times Square Church, located at 51st street. This church was founded by David Wilkerson, also founder of Teen Challenge. The service was everything we could have expected and more. The singing, the praise, and the sermon were a pinnacle experience of our trip. You absolutely must attend this church if you happen to be in New York City especially over any weekend! I will pay your parking or subway fare - just go.
Continuing the day, we drove over to another great church in Brooklyn for their 3:30pm service. This is the home of the well known Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. And they were there in full force - great music and worship!
More in the next blog to tell you about another surprising development on tap for Monday night in Manhattan.
