God is in this place!

I had the pleasure of attending Enon Baptist Tabernacle Church (Enon East), this past Sunday and it was filled with all of the pomp and circumstance that you would expect in a mega Baptist Church. Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church was founded on September 21, 1876 and became the first African-American Baptist Church in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. It is named for the place where people came to be baptized by John the Baptist and for more than a century, Enon has been guided by its foundational mission of reaching people for the cause of Christ. This location, which is on Coulter Street is called Enon West.
Enon East, which has a sanctuary for 5,000 worshippers is located on Cheltenham Avenue in the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia, on property that was previously owned by Temple University. The irony in this that this is only place that Temple has given up land, because they have encroached on quite a bit of property in North Philadelphia. The church is committed to developing effective strategies to deter youth violence and to positively impact their local, national, and international community. Enon-East is really a big back yard for the community to come and play and for youth to engage in competitive athletics. As an advocate of for community programming, I applaud the member for "being their brother's keeper".

I have another video for you about a section of Philadelphia called Manayunk. Enjoy!
