CHAPTER EIGHT (PART ONE)
A NEW DAWN
St. Gabriel's Catholic church was celebrating her 50th anniversary, and being a member, Abayomi thought it wise to invite his friends.
"How are you today Kunle?" Abayomi asked.
"Good. How about you?" he replied cheerfully.
"I'm very well thank you. See, tomorrow is Sunday and I would really like you to accompany me to church. The 50th anniversary of the church is tomorrow".
"No problem. We'll all go together, including Bisi. But that will be after my laundry."
"Oh come on Kunle, you have all the time in the world to yourself to do that. Why not spend some quality time in God's presence. I mean that is even more rewarding than doing laundry, you know" Abayomi persuaded Kunle.
"Okay. You win. Laundry cancelled. I'll be there" Kunle replied smiling.
"I would really appreciate that Kunle" Abayomi said as they both went in doors.
The next morning, the three friends woke up early and prepared for church. At about 8 '0' clock, they were already on their way to St. Gabriel's Catholic Church. The famous St. Gabriel Catholic church, located along Downing street was one of Britain's colossal and long standing buildings. It was built in the Elizabethan age with British architectural designs, and occupied a land mass of 20 acres. It's interior was decorated with the most expensive ornaments and precious gems of the time. The altar was arrayed in costly fabrics of bright colors, and crafted with precious stones. It was indeed a site to behold.
