The Caravans

One of the joys of my ministry has been the opportunity to know the Famous "Caravans" who paved the way for so many gospel singers. I have a picture with Cassietta George of the Caravans who pinned the tune, "Walk Around Heaven"... I actually booked her last couple of programs and traveled extensively with her... Of course that was before the day of digital cameras but I did manage to get some footage with her. Blessings be upon the lives of the living Caravans who continue to carry the message of Jesus in song... Albertina Walker, Dorothy Norwood, Inez Andrews, Delores Washington, and Shirley Caesar... Mount Olivet has hosted already, Dorothy and Inez.... I hear a ringing for Shirley Caesar.......

Dorothy Norwood


Dorothy Norwood showed up in the place as Mount Olivet Baptist Church celebrated its 99th Church Annivesary and she was dressed to kill..and she blessed our hearts... she readily tells her audience of having reached her three scores and ten years...and yet she's still going strong. Of course she took us down "Old School Boulevard" with a litany of old churchy hymns that we really appreciated...After a great worship service on Sunday as today.... we are yet thanking God for a wonderful and unforgettable 99th Church Anniversary Celebration!

Reverend Roy Headman

Reverend Roy Headman was the first Pastor with whom I worshipped and heard preach upon moving to Rochester and joining Mount Olivet Baptist Church in their Thanksgiving Tradition which includes a Tri-Church Fellowship with Zion Hill, Antioch and Mount Olivet. The fellowship was at Antioch and Reverend Roy Headman delivered the message! The next time we shared a pulpit together was at Mount Olivet's recent revival with Pastor James Cherry Jr delivering the message. Our next time together was at the Baptist Ministers Association a couple of Monday nights together. Our next time together will be in heaven!

Baltimore Pit Stop

You would have had to be with us to understand the wonderful time we had as we traveled together on the Chartered Bus to Baltimore. It was a great bunch, good travelers, plenty of fun and laughter, good Tyler Perry Movies to watch along the way. We even watched the movie with the Black woman who had the white daughter who was ashamed of her.... You know the Black woman sold her pancake recipe... It was a tear jerker along the trip. Well.....somebody remembers the name of the movie... I dont! But it was good.. .Kinda like we do sermons, can't recall the name, but it was good! Oh we were headed to Silver Springs and Baltimore, Maryland.
