Rowoches; August 20, 2008 Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer; Chicago, Illinois

I believe that this church's denomination is COGIG {Church Of God In Christ}
Note: the man playing the washboard, along with the snare drums, organist, electric guitar player, and tamborine. Also note the people getting happy and "doing the holy dance".
"Sunday Night service at West Angeles Church of God in Christ. Taking a break to praise God!"

Here are several viewer comments about this video:

"that is so true. and i don't understand why, its like the spirit is quenched in the morning, but at night its off the chain. i hope one sunday morning for the holy ghost to come in like a flood and affect everything and everybody." flcogicboy (3 months ago)

"There is something about a Sunday NIGHT service...I heard a peacher once say people that go to church on Sunday morning go out of tradition, but TRUE Saints go BACK to church on Sunday night!! When I attend a really good Sunday night service, it just makes me 'float' through on Monday! Go on West Angeles, and get yo' praise on!! :-) " -ladynfsoffice (4 months ago)

"I agree... I feel like at them sunday night services, you can break free from the "traditional" mornin service and REALLY get down wit God!" -dwest1985 (4 months ago)

[Also, see these comments about the music]
"This beat is baptist. (I'm a baptist organist) COGIC/Pentacostal is a little faster. Apostolic is just off te meter. " -AJLD1 (3 months ago)
**
"Actually I find alot of down south/West Coast COGIC's shouts to be around this tempo... -KELH1990 (3 months ago)
**
"lol, u right. the baptist do hit it a lil slower. i love it". -matthew5and9 (2 months ago)
**
"FYI: Apostolics are Pentecostal also.. we are off the meter though. This is a nice beat, just enough so everybody, including the older saints can dance".

Note: "Saints", as used here means "church members", a person who has been saved. "Church members" means "members of that church and other Pentacostal churches, and, perhaps also any other person who is a Christian.
