Pineville AME Zion Hymn Choir
On Sunday afternoon, the Pineville AME Zion Church honored their Hymn Choir. The choir, including some charter members, has been part of the worship experience at Pineville AME for nearly seventy years. I was invited to the service by a good friend, known to all of us as Q-Rock, who serves as the second director of the Hymn Choir. Although he asked me to come simply to get a group portrait of the choir, I could not help but capture a few frames of Q-Rock himself, members of the choir, and the congregation, as they sang and worshipped with true passion. Thank you for your invitation Q-Rock, and thank you also to the congregation and the members of the Pineville AME Hymn Choir.

O, happy day! What an opportunity for you! We were raised in a middle-class Catholic church. But my family started a black Catholic church under the dark of night in South Carolina and there is where my mother, who was half-Lebanese would come alive. I love going to African-American churches, though I don't go anymore. Thank you for the memories, Joe, for capturing the passion and the intention so very well. These are beautiful photos.
