This Ice Cream Social took place with Katherine Logan right behind the Youth Day where Scholarships were awarded to Graduating Seniors of Mount Olivet Church... Ms Katherine Logan is like the founder of this Scholarship Program... She was honored at the Church and celebrated with fellowship, fun and ice creams.... Pictured are those who worked on the Scholarship Committee....
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....... 
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!

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.

Reverend Melvin Brooks and I go back some fifteen years or more in Pastoral Ministries... I think we met in Detroit while the both of us were conducting revivals in that city back in the day! Then in later years, whenever I went to Detroit, Melvin would come over from Buffalo on Friday of the revival...and we along with the host pastor would fellowship.... That's where I started eating Alligator meat... That's good eating.... We always went to Fishbones.... Well, Melvin did a great job in our revival...he's a great preacher and friend... By the way... Melvin and I date back to the years when I was pastoring in Memphis and he was pastoring in Chicago..
A great cloud of witnesses from the Faith Temple Apostolic Church followed Bishop Jerry McCullough over to Mount Olivet Baptist Church on Wednesday night as he came in the doors flanked by his Armourbearer and his brother; Alphonso McCullough. His wonderful choir, well prepared, and great worshippers sang just before he got up to preach. We had lots of laughs about our fishing experiences and the fellowship among us! Bishop was very candid in his message "God Is More Than Enough" about how God has been good to him and how God has spared his life and how grateful he is to God for the blessings and grace of God in his life. Thank you Bishop McCullough for the great blessing you were to us!
The Voices of Clouds have made a great name across the country in quartet singing... We were honored to have them as our guests on Sunday night..... It was a delight to sing the old quartet "Search me Lord" with them... They will celebrate 55 years of singing this year. We salute them in their great works....These guys can and will stand tall with any of the groups out there..
Reverend James Cherry Jr (center) and the the Antioch Baptist Church came to revival to worship...In no uncertain terms did either come to play. The choir did a great job singing and Reverend Cherry brought a good word.....The Fellowship was good, the churches enjoyed being together, the community was out in support of both churches. Reverend Myrick; the President of the Baptist Ministers Alliance was there last night as well along with associate pastors from the Antioch Baptist Church. We look forward to Thanksgiving when our churches along with other community churches will be together again in fellowship....Join us tonight in our 4th Night of Revival as Pastor Melvin Brooks and the Cedar Grove Baptist Church of Buffalo, NY share with us in this service...
