Fifth Sunday had come around again. Fifth Sunday was so special because it was a time to see friends that I had not seen in three months. It was not only a time to catch up and I always had a special little gift for my best friends. It was not much, a button from my button collection, a dried flower, a bright colored ribbon, or a beautiful golden delicious apple. I could not wait until breakfast was over so that I could get dressed and be on my way.
My friends would be waiting outside the church and we would squeal with joy of seeing each other again. After our gifts were exchanged we quietly entered the church for a long day of learning activities. We got to go from class to class and then there was the excitement of being assigned to committees. Mr. John’s always nominated me to the finance committee as the secretary. We worked well together and my finance report was always outstanding. I really loved these times.
At the end of the day I would return home happy for the fellowship with friends, full of knowledge, homemade cakes, pies, pepper chicken and good ole Virginia ham.
