PALM SUNDAY

By Wes Andre Goodrich

JAMES “JIMMY” McCLOUD receives a vision that he believes is a call from God. What’s his call? To become a member at the all-white congregation of First Baptist Church. The next Sunday Jimmy enters the church and puts himself forward as a member much to the chagrin of the white congregants and their aging pastor: JOHN EVANS. In private Evans tells Jimmy that a vote from the congregation must determine whether or not Jimmy is accepted into their ranks. His fate is in their hands.
