    I was raised in a dominate Caucasian church. However, when we visited Grand Ma in the summer, I would go to the Black church next door, my grand parents donated the land it was built on after their church had burned down. I have to say that attending both churches made me a better person. I still remember the love they showed this little Caucasian girl. I felt so blessed.

    I'm a mutt grew up in the white babtist church. Went to a black babtist church. It was like a party people dancing in the Iles and pews, and when the preacher starts preaching ya feel it in ya soul. After service is dinner usualy some best soul food you will ever eat. And ya leave feeling full of the Lord, full stomach and feeling the love.

    When I first moved to the big city, I spent a few months visiting different churches and this included visiting my first black church.
    It was quite the experience. When they announced who was visiting and asked them to stand I nearly shouted, "do I need to? I'm sticking right out here! There are people across town who can tell I'm visiting." 🤣
    But it was a good experience and we're all brothers and sisters. ☦ Looking forward to hanging out with everybody one day in our Lord's kingdom.

I simply posted a bible verse that i like because it had something to do with what the video was talking about. So have a nice day!

They said stuff like, child, where you been?, and what chu been doing?, we missed you so much! I just rolled with it like they were family. It was great. They did make me pay for lunch though, I thought that was a little rude, but the soul food was awsome. Hahaha

      I believe Spirit does have a color. Its Light.
      Light is made of all colors. Scientifically, the colors in light that are not being absorbed is actually what gets reflected back off for us to visually see that color. For example, a tree leaf is absorbing all colors of light except the shade of green you are seeing. That reflects off the leaf and we see that leaf as green. Lol. I went on a bit of tangent. Lol

      I grew up in the country and there was no such thing as multiracial church. It was just church. When I moved to the city, I learned that Christian's were self-segregating. It confused me. That's why I like Church of Christ (Not United Churches of Christ, those people are evil racists) because it's just church. Depending on area, we might have an additional service in the native language of some members who don't have a strong grasp of English yet. I've been to congregations which had Spanish, Korean, and Chinese (Mandarin) services. And we all gathered at a restaurant or home for lunch!!!

    When I was about 10 or 11 years old we started going to a pentecostal church. It was quite the mixed bag.
    Pastor Venable was a short stout white guy with a booming voice. Assistant pastor Brother Gerald was a tall, slender soft spoken down home country white guy that prayed a lot at the end of service. The congregation was black, Hispanic and white.
    Those people where the wildest people I had ever seen. 2 - 3 times per service people would speak in tongues. Pastor Venable would get caught up and he'd throw down his mic, loosen his tie and start shouting the word until the heavens shook. People would start jumping out their seats like whack-a-moles in a penny arcade. They start shouting "Praise God" and "Amen". Then they would spontaneously combust into singing and break out tambourines and those wooden fish. This kind of spooky little white woman with wispy white hair would start jogging laps around the pews.
    It was just pandemonous fun
