One Sunday Morning

Let me tell you a Sunday story, a church story if you will.

On Feb. 11, students and their parents filled the Cordell Hull Building to denounce a bill attempting to deny education to undocumented immigrant children. On Feb. 5, the daughter of a World War II veteran demonstrated as part of Fifty Capitols, Fifty States, One Day, an effort to fight fascism across the country.
On October 2024 a celebration was held for Rev. Louis A. Haynes and his wife Mrs. Caroline K. Haynes, where I was invited to witness their anniversary.
The Downtown Presbyterian Church is full of gratitude to the community for supporting this year’s Waffle Shop so enthusiastically. We are particularly thankful for our corporate sponsors, including The Contributor. As hoped, nearly 500 people attended and we raised over $15,000! All of the funds from Waffle Shop are allocated to the church’s mission to provide a free meal to the community each Saturday morning. This year’s event was a celebration of Waffle Shop’s traditions, the Christmas holiday, and our downtown community — all while supporting a very worthy cause!
My memories of past Waffle Shops long preceded my ever attending one.
