You know you go to a Black church when:
1.) the choir marches in;
2.) they have a building fund and don't even have plans of putting new locks on the church;
3.) somebody gets up and says, "the choir will now bring us an A & B selection;
4.) the Mother's/Missionaries sit on one side of the pulpit and the deacons/trustees sit on the other side;
5.)they take up tithes, offerings, and "PLEDGES";
6.) there's a picture of the current pastor and all other pastors that have ever pastored the church;
7.) they have a church anniversary, pastor's appreciation and everybody else who holds a position has an appreciation/day(ushers, musicians, deacons, etc.);
8.) you walk around the table for the "public offering";
9.) they vote members into the church; and
10.) you get an invitation from other church for an activity they're having and they request that two of your church members BY NAME represent your church. If they can't attend please send two representatives of your choice.
I could go on and on this one. Black churches, be they: Baptist, Methodist, Pentocostal, Apostolic, etc., you GOTTA LOVE 'EM!!
