I paid a visit to a church in Washington DC not long ago and got to go to a service (服务) for the
homeless.
     When we arrived at the church, our fiends Roger and Nancy, who work in the church, gave us a
warm welcome and invited us inside. The priest (牧师) was standing in front of a screen and giving a
sermon (布道).
He told jokes and funny stories in his sermon. For the first time I realized church could be fun.
     After that, we walked down to the hall where we were to serve the homeless. Two volunteers, Jason
and Sandra, were clearing the table and making dinner.
     "We have been coming here each weekend for two years. "Sandra told me." It's really nice to help
the homeless people." She told me the church has been doing these services every week for many years.
     When we finished setting the table and cooking dinner, Jason brought the homeless people to the
church. We served a big meal of potatoes, chicken,green beans and cake. We sat down at the table and
chatted with some of the homeless people.
     One man told me: "People ask me: 'Is it difficult to be a homeless person?' and I say:
'I don't feel it's that hard. It doesn't matter if  I'm homeless or not because I have this church and I have
people like you.' "Hearing these words from a homeless person, I felt prouder than I ever had before.
