Sister Praise rendered the songs with her mellifluous voice. Her admirers,chief among them was Bro Tripping who wished that she was his to listen to forever.Meanwhile, her haters were finding fault.
"She is not even fine" said
Sister Beauty in her mind.
"Na voice we go chop"grumbled another.
"All
these sisters self ,I don't trust them" another backbiter complained.
Everyone was supposed to be in spirit. It was a mixture of the good,bad and ugly in the Sunday service.
"Why must she always be the one to lead the song heralding the pastor's arrival to preach the sermon"Sister Holier-than-thou observed
The Pastor took his stand at the podium and all stood up.
"Turn to your neighbour" the pastor instructed"Say to him/her that I'm blessed to be a blessing"
The congregation obeyed diligently.
The Pastor didn't stop there
"Hold your neighbours hand and pray for him/her"
Not everyone in the congregation followed suit.There were murmurings of "Yay ! Ebola,Olorun maje"
Those who were hesitant to hold hands just managed to flash their teeth and waved.
"Amen" the Pastor continued
"Amen"was the response from the congregation
"You are going to give your tithes and offerings to the lord!"The man of God went on"Sister Praise...lead us"
"Sister Praise again!" Sister Beauty lamented
"You go girl" Bro Tripping chuckled
The procession for the taking of the offering and tithes was to be done row by row.Mrs Flamboyant started to rake"Yay! Egbami "
"What happened?"Concerned members asked

" I kept it...then I went to...laptop...phone...money...it was right here" Mrs Flamboyant was gesticulating as she made incomplete sentences " e bi lowa" She was now checking inside the offering envelope.
Her hand bag had disappeared with an ipad and expensive phone.It was a short distance from the offering box to her seat.So who was the Usain Bolt that performed wonders in that few minutes.
"We will get to the bottom of this..." The head Usher,Bro Like-seriously assured
The service went on while Mrs Flamboyant was searching for her hand bag in every nook and cranny-under the pews, even in the women's gele -everywhere imaginable and unimaginable .They had to calm her down. She was distracting the order of service.
The sermon was on sin-big sin and small sin. According to the pastor sin was sin. The pastor ended that God was going to judge all offenders. But this was the same pastor that some members of his congregation were engaged in theft,robbery and prostitution. Yet he was accepting their tithes and offerings...
