one time and it was phe
nomenally successful so
people hav ebeen asking
when we were going to do
it again," said Jones.
Jones said for this
installment they wanted to
add another component
than just singing, so they
partnered with Soles 4
Souls. The Winston
Worship service was the
highlight of the shoe
drive, which will last for
the entire month of
September. He said their
goal is to reach 1,000 pairs
of shoes by the end of the
month.
Jones said the charity
said there has never been
anyone that went to the
lengths the church has to
help their cause.
"We are just happy that
we can be the hands and
feet of Jesus and that's all
we want to be," Jones con
tinued. "It goes beyond
just having church to being
a church. We just want to
show people shoes are
very usual for us. We can
afford to give something
away to bless someone
else. We are glad God
used us as a vehicle to do
that for someone else," he
continued.
He says the reason they
wanted to go further with
the Winston Worships and
partner with Soles 4 Souls
is because he says as a
church they haven't done
as much outside of the
church as they could.
Next spring, Jones
says, Fellowship Church is
planning another install
ment and says he wants to
give a platform for other
artists such as Kendall
McDowell who are not
known nationally but are
talented artists. He says
they will have to brain
storm about how to make
the event bigger and better.

Winston and gather to praise'God
together."
Justin said, "I enjoyed it, playing
with my family and with my church.
I really liked that experience."
The choir performed a number of
contemporary and traditional songs
for the congregation. William Lake
Jr., St. Paul director of the Men's Day
Chorus, says this year was the largest
year for the celebration since he has
been with the church.
"The celebration was great, and it
was nice to have so many people in
attendance," Lake said. "When I was
a kid, I didn't like to hear the Men's
Choir at my church because they
were boring, but our choir is one of
the best men's choirs."
Lake said he and JL. Roberts
Men's Chorus director Maurice Seay
really hit it off when St. Paul visited
Ebenezer. All of the chorus members
from both churches rehearsed togeth
er and fellowshipped with one anoth
er afterward by watching football.
Rev. Dr. Vance P. Ross, senior
pastor of Gordon Memorial United
Methodist Church, delivered the ser
mon for the Men's Day celebration.
The message of his sermon was
"Embracing Pivotal Moments." He
said we must embrace every minute
as if it were a gift from God. He
spoke to the men in attendance by
saying that they must "gather togeth
er with Jesus."
When asked what inspired his
message for the celebration, Ross
said with the sign of the times nowa
days, we are in a pivotal moment. He
said with our people being killed by
law enforcement, why are people
focused on the protest of Colin
Kaepernick (a black NFL player who
is protesting police violence against
black men)? He said people are miss
ing what's really important. Ross
closed by saying, "Once you know
what you're to live for and what God
has done for you, you share that so
love and justice can live."
