Link is working - - the sound is terrible so far.

Re: Homegoing Celebration Today
 

Yes sound quality is very poor.

Re: Homegoing Celebration Today
 

Really? My connection is coming in clearly with 5.1 surround sound! (J/K of course!) Sound is fuzzy.

Re: Homegoing Celebration Today
 

i would like to listen but its so poor i cant. too bad !

Re: Homegoing Celebration Today
 

Sound is in deed horrible. Some other program started running in the background. Interesting to see WPF and UPCI on the same platform. Sad it has to be because of something so sad.

Re: Homegoing Celebration Today
 

True, but not in death only. Priscilla and her husband have long been champions of anti-denominationalism. The last time I saw them was at the local Assembly of God. Bro McGruder is a fine preacher too. They have often ministered for our Trinitarian brothers and sisters in camps and churches.

What a wonderful and inspiring legacy for others to follow.

Re: Homegoing Celebration Today
 

Wonderful celebration, sorry the sound was bad,
it was hot and crowded inside, not sure how many the church will seat.
Myles Young, Teresa Baker, Stan Cook, Chae Sheerin all sang,
Bishop Wilson, Sr Pastor McDonald, Sister Mary Wilson having time to speak, with Carroll greeting the congregation, and Bishop Haney delivering the message. The DVD of Priscilla was nice, nice to remember her that way!

Re: Homegoing Celebration Today
 

Not sure what your saying ,are you talking about Nate Wilson ?,That is his sister in law, in Sis Mcgruder and Myles Youngs wife, is Bro Wilsons daughter.Maybe i missed someone/s else ?

Re: Homegoing Celebration Today
 

That is too bad about the sound, because it was a great service! My husband tried to watch it with the girls from home and they couldn't really understand what was being said.

Hopefully there will be a DVD, because I'd like for my girls to watch it. My favorites were John McDonald & Stan Cook--and of course, anything Bro. McGruder has to say goes on my favorite list by default. ;) Priscilla having the "last word" was great.

Melody--it was EXTREMELY hot in there. Yesterday and today. Yowza!!!

TalkLady & Melody--I want to know who you are and where you were sitting!!! :D :D :D

**There will never be another Priscilla McGruder** That woman was, is and always will be a great inspiration to me.

MissBrattified, I was sitting right next to a "heavy set" guy and right behind a lady with a bun on the BACK of her head, not the top. That really narrows it down for you. Doesn't it?

I had thought of going back to work yesterday but after my husband said he was going to the funeral, I took off another day but this time as Annual Leave. I'm a crier. So, the lady with the bun on the BACK of her head and I wiped tears during much of the service. It was good to see some people I had not seen in years. Maybe I even saw you!...lol

Me, too! Jeffrey fell asleep right after the funeral started and slept the whole time. I kept wiping my face with my hand because I forgot tissues, and then I finally remembered that Jeffrey had a handkerchief in his pants pocket. I fished it out and used it the rest of the service--until he finally woke up, and took it away from me. He gave me a very annoyed look, too. I guess I need to explain to him that boys are supposed to loan out their handkerchiefs to weepy women.

aw cute MissB, I felt so sorry for the children, it was long and hot, I had a very annoyed father in front of me, the children were restless, but those that remember having children understand.
