Sis was asked by Rev. Glenn Ribelin to help out with a special prayer service at Fosters Chapel Church. He asked Sis to get the congregation together and all pray for rain, as the drought was hurting a lot of farmers. Sis asks the entire congregation to gather in the church yard at 3 p.m. that Sunday afternoon. As Sis was about to start prayer services, she looked the crowd over and said: “You faithful brothers and sisters have come this afternoon to pray for rain, but I don’t see an umbrella in the crowd!!”
