I belong to the greatest church in the world. We have an eclectic group of members and leaders. You would love them. Here are some of their names….
First off, our pastor is Rev. Turner Byrne.
The deacons are Rod(ney) N. Staff, Moe Love, Noah D. Word, and Ruffin Tumble.
The Sunday School teachers are I. M. Humble, Chester Drawers, Hal E. Looyah, and Shuck D. Corn.
The church council includes I. M. Wright, R. U. Ready, H. Evan Sent, and Joiner R. Flock.
Other members include I. M. Pious, Phil N. Goode, Al B. Gone, Givmore Lute, Gitrite R. Getleft, Red E. R. Knott, Diddy Saythat, R. E. Pent, O. Y. Knott, Luke Warm, Phil Upcup, Willie Makeit, Will B. Brief, May B. Sew, I. M. Pasteur, and (retired) Pastor D. Saster.
The trustees are Roland N. D’Isles, Tryde Datt, and Brother Lee Love.
We had a family try to join our church a couple of Sundays ago. Their names were Steve and Mary Smith, sons Daniel and Joshua, and daughters Katherine and Jennifer.
We rejected them.
With names that strange, we weren’t sure we could trust them.
No one has ever believed my name since I married. I have to carry I D everywhere. So, I don’t blame that congregation.
The hotel front desk where we went on our honeymoon laughed us all the way to the elevator.
I lost my wife also three years ago in July after 50 years…She was a wonderful blessing to me and the congregation I serve. We have 4 adult kids….and 16 grandkids…What a wonderful woman of God she was…I can barely navigate without her but with the Lord’s continued help I am making some progress. Blessings to you…Pastor Bill
