Trinity UCC is the church home of my husband and me, and "Rev.", as we call Rev. Wright (who married us), is sooooooo much the bomb pastor, and Trinity is such a wonderful place to worship and grow in your Christian walk! I have never been into getting excited about pastors (cuz it always seems a bit cheesy to "fall in love" with a human being and wind up missing God's message), but Rev. is truly someone special and blessed by God. He returns every letter, email and phone call personally, whether he's in town, in Africa or in California (no small feat, as our membership is 7,000+ and Rev is in high demand as a theological scholar, lecturer and guest speaker/preacher).

Case in point: recently Rev. snail-mailed a good old-fashioned letter to my dad in MI (who is not a member of Trinity) to let him know that our church family had been praying for my dad during his illness. In his letter, he detailed everything that had been going on with my dad (as communicated to Rev. by me in email updates), and gave my dad some encouragement. I was/am so touched by his thoughtfulness!

Rev. Wright really sets as example of how to live one's life as a follower of Christ!

And although our church is big, we strive to be ONE body in Christ, and offer a little bit of something for everyone, from a credit union to several children's ministries to yoga to dance to our own Center for African Biblical Studies (to break it down, that's our bible study). My hubby and I are looking forward to a married couples' retreat in March, just one of several retreats the church sponsors for couples, men, women, young people, singles, etc.

Sorry to brag on my church and pastor, yall! God is good!

P.S. Rev. is an Omega, and on occasion, will clown a bit and throw up his sign, as well as tease those of us who are Greek with little things here and there!

Wow Your Pastor sounds like Ideal08 and mine. Yesterday was such a blessed experience. I feel how you do about your pastor and his first lady. He is so human but I can truly see how God has worked in his life and how he really strives to keep GOD as the focus of the church and his life.

Whenever I go (used to be faithfully and will be again), I left with so much to feed upon for a whole week that I can honestly be assured that his message is from God and not what he thought we should hear. His messages are truly here is how to live a Christ filled life.
