Africa Day!

Last week we had the pleasure of celebrating our annual Africa Day event, this year marking the 53rd anniversary of the Organization of African Unity (Now called the African Union). Together we praised God for the countless blessings given to and through the African continent, and prayed fervently for the needs of its many diverse nations. Take a look at these excellent photos, and join us in thanking Emeka Ogubunka, the entire St. Paul's African Group, the Amazing Grace Choir, Brother Ogo and all those who made it such a special day!

Prayers were offered in several languages                               Gifts carried to the altar include fruit & African Drumming

A stellar reception in the Crypt after the service                    And a plentiful meal of sumptuous African dishes!

             The food was absolutely delicious!                                  And the African attire was truly beautiful! Smiles everywhere!
