The East Market Street Seventh-Day Adventist Church, located at 1802 East Market Street, is also listed online as the "East Central African Fellowship" Seventh-Day Adventist Church. We drove by on Saturday after shopping at the nearby Greensboro Farmers Market. We needed a post for today and noticed people were headed in for the service. The lead pastor is John Pooler III. Online, he is listed as a corporate chaplain, having served as chaplain with Tyson Foods and Wilkes Recovery Revolution. The Seventh-Day Adventist Church is part of the Protestant branch of Christianity with 19 million members worldwide and a million in the United States. * According to their website, their mission is to be a "community centered church with a Christ centered culture, engrafting the Word of God through faith, family, finance, fitness, and fellowship."
We were struck by the architecture of the building with its square, warehouse look. Without the small sign on the northwest corner of the building, we never would have guessed the building was a church. We were also struck by the fact that it is surrounded by buildings that are part of NC A&T University, and we are wondering if the building will ever become part of the university's property.
For those who celebrate Passover, Happy Passover; and for those who celebrate Easter, it is Palm Sunday. Next week will be Easter for all Christians, including Orthodox Christians.
Happy Sunday!
