Ms. Herley wasn't able to conduct the young adults meeting today, but the paster wasn't going to cancel. So, Paris took over in her place. This wasn't the first time Paris had to take over, but each time she was nervous to stand in the front of the room and talk to 30+ girls about topics most teen are uncomfortable with.

Once the clock strict 6:30pm Paris held the door open for everyone's arrival. As every on began to arrive, She greeted them with a hug. While everyone got seated Paris noticed a few new faces. Once all the seats were filled up she closed the door.

She walked to the front of the room, since everyone knew each other, they engaged in conversation.

"Hey. Everyone please quiet down."

Every stopped their conversations and looked at Paris.

"Okay so, Ms. Herley isn't here tonight she had an emergency and I'll be temporally taking over," Paris announced

Everyone cheered. They loved when Paris took over the meeting because they could relate more to her instead of a 47 year old virgin, who doesn't believe in temptations or teenage hormones.

Paris laughed "Alright since I wasn't prepared for this, we're just going to have a free night."

Everyone knew exactly what that meant. Someone chooses a topic and everyone discusses it for the entire meeting.

"Alright, um I see new people here tonight how about you girls introduce yourselves. State your name, age and why you're here."

About five girls stood up. One of them was about 5 months pregnant.

"Okay how about we start at this end," Paris said as she point to the right side of the room.

The girl waved at everyone. She was about 5'3, light skin, with golden blond extensions. "Hi I'm amber, I'm 17 um the reason I'm here is to get advice about my relationship," she said as she sat down

Paris smiled and nodded her head as she pointed to the next girl. She about 5'9, slightly darker than the first girl, with a mini Afro. "Hello everyone I'm Tameka, I'm 15 and I'm here because I just joined this church about two weeks ago with my mom and she wanted me to be more involved instead of just coming every Sunday."

Paris smiled and moved on to the person which was the pregnant girl. She was about 5'0, mixed raced. "Hi I'm Rachel, I'm 16 and um I'm here because I made a huge decision and I have to get closer to The Lord." She jumped straight to conclusion.

Paris smiled and clapped her hands "beautiful." She spoke

It only took about 5 more minutes before every was done introducing themselves.

"So the introductions had me thinking about what we're going to talk about," Paris said as she paced the floor.

She looked over at Rachel as she rubbed her stomach that carried a 5 month old fetus.

"I hate to be that one to point out the obvious but Rachel, if you don't mind, I think we'd all like to here about your story." Rachel nervously sat still in her seat "You have nothing to worry about, all information shared in this group stays on this group, cross my heart." Paris exclaimed

Rachel stood up and waddled to the front of the group. "Hello everyone um, as you all can see I got myself in some mess." She started slightly chuckling "Um I heard this was one of the best church in the county, I've seen this church on numerous tv broadcasts and all in the local newspaper, while looking for jobs and before this I've been to 4 different churches and none of them made me feel welcome." Rachel wiped her eyes as tears started to fall down her cheeks.
