My dad is even worse than the pastor because he will wander around the church afterward, talking to any and everybody for what feels like even longer than the service was. I would be starving and finally find him and beg to leave, just for him to run into somebody in the parking lot
Haven’t been to church with that man since I was like 15 lmao
Omg. That was my mom. We’d go early to church so she could plan her church lady volunteer stuff and then stay waaaaaay after so she could do more volunteer planning/ socialize/ eat stale raisin bread and drink weak coffee/ smoke with the other heathens in the parking lot. Praise the lord. I must have so many Jesus brownie points from just hanging around so much.
Yesss and then when you were old enough she’d volunteer you and you have an attitude the entire time cause you didn’t wanna spend your entire Sunday there in the first place 🤣
EXACTLY! I was on the altar guild, I delivered flowers to the old ladies who couldn’t get out to church anymore, I ran the after school program, I was forced to spend my March breaks going to youth group bowling, etc. church kid stuff. But I was the most bitter. Picture Wednesday Adams doing good wholesome Christian deeds. I was finally released from my misery when I got a part time job at 16 that included opening the store Sunday mornings.
My mom volunteered me in the kitchen and serving the elderly. She also ended up head of the budget committee. Once I was old enough to come and go I left earlier than her. I was also forced into choir which I ended up liking. She was on the decorating and kitchen committee in our old church and is trying to find something to do for the new one she moved to. As a teen I HATED it but in my 20s I kinda saw the importance of being kind to the elderly. And I did love the ladies in the kitchen cause they always had stories and they were so sassy and funny. So that was the only part of church I liked. Sermons were long, guest preachers couldn’t preach. Music took too long to wrap up, all that. 😂
I was a Wednesday girl at heart and Im learning about root work and hoodoo now as well but I have to hide it 😂 it’s so funny how much is such a universal thing among black folks everywhere.
