As we were sitting in the Chapel enjoying the beautiful Windows. a group of black church ladies came into the build, the tour guide explain the history of the building, which was great for us. they he himself  said that he was the preacher of this chapel. and was excited, that in November he was going have  the  privilege of doing the to marry ceremony  for him daughter in this building. Then he asked if the choir ladies would sing a song about Jesus. and sing they did . What a great moment. I could feel the love they had for there Jesus, and I know that Christ was there excepting there gift of love for him.
