Today, on our second day of the Civil Rights Trip, we went to Ebenezer Baptist Church first thing this morning. Service was really interesting for me since I attend an Episcopal church, so the atmosphere was entirely different. I felt like there was a much stronger sense of community among the congregation at this church than my own. I felt like I was able to connect with God in a way that I hadn't been able to before.
But when we went to the original Ebenezer Baptist Church, it felt as full as the service we attended this morning, despite there only being a few people present. A recording of Martin Luther King Jr.'s voice boomed through the sanctuary, and I could imagine the pews being filled with people and families of all ages. There was a spirit of togetherness in both churches that made me feel comfortable and secure, so I'm really grateful for that experience.
