St. Mary's Missionary Baptist Church in Winnabow, NC had Gospel Comedian LaSalle LaSalle to entertain for their Black History Program held on February 24, 2008. LaSalle opened the floor for people to talk about their deceased family members. So many sweet and touching comments were said, some people had pictures. LaSalle showed pictures and talked about his late father (LaSalle Hankins), his grandmother (Madglene Hickman) and Etha Mae Herring who could sing you happy.

The program shifted when this young man asked his mother to stand with him as he praised and honored her his style. What shocked the church and made us stand, LaSalle honored his mother who had 14 children by giving her 14 suits. I was touched as many were also, to witness a young man giving to his mother. LaSalle had his mother to change from one black & white suit into another black & white suit. Let me say this, he changed 4 times himself! He is a breath of fresh air. I laughed and laughed so much! All need to hear what this Preacher and Christian Comedian has to say.

LaSalle put the icing on the cake by giving gifts to the 5 mothers with the most children and 5 oldest ladies. He thanked the lady (Ms. Alorda) who invited him, by giving her a suit. His sister, Minister Sharonda Davis was there, he thanked her for doing so much for their mother, by giving her a suit. I am so glad I was there to hear, see and laugh as this Man of God shared the Gift from God. He is the first Christian Comedian I know to open with prayer before he made us laugh.

With much love for LaSalle LaSalle,
Ms. Orena Moore
