In fact, the parking attendant ask us to say a prayer that she can attend a service some time. Already reaching out and touching..."
- Cheryl Tiedemann

Not sure how to even express what I felt last night. Not the music which -my God - Jon Scott , Dan - it had no choice but to be awesome. Not you - who are always life changing, but the feeling in the room. A mix between the overwhelming joy you feel when you watch someone marry, or even those Home makeover shows - always sob when they move that bus. Anyway, there was a tangible feeling of happiness, belonging, acceptance (maybe for the first time ever),someone finding their way home, and more than anythng else, peace...you know me i am not a visions, doves, gold dust, - yada yada, kinda person, but last night was something I have never felt, and a bunch that I have all rolled into one - I, as you, have been in services where blind see, etc, etc, but last night was an inside thing, hearts, wounded spirits...beautiful. God I hope that makes sense.I love you immensely, and am honored to be a part of any and everything you do.

"Church in the Now Midtown was the bees knees"
- Jonah Elijah Swilley


See you next Thursday night!

Good Evening Bishop,
On May 22nd, I walked into CITN East for the first time in my life and I was amazed at what was going on; it was an experience. I never knew it was CITN's 26th anniversary and indeed the number has so much significance in my life as you related it to the story of Abraham.
I also had another experience on this premiere service. Many people definitely appreciate what you are doing with CITN Midtown. The diversity within the church is amazing. As a young black man in a foreign country, I feel like I can get used to this environment. THANK YOU SO MUCH

TONY M.

Tony and Soni...your posts bring to mind "new-mom-in-the-hospital pictures." Mom isn't usually very pretty--no matter what everyone tells her. Some people don't even take those kinds of pictures because mom is sweaty, disheveled, exhausted and nearly spent...but she smiles. And that's the point.

Congratulations CITN-East... Midtown is a gorgeous baby! You done good. When you're ready to have your professional photographer's mom-baby pictures, EVERYONE will want a copy.
