Mayor Eric Adams delivers remarks at 25th anniversary celebration of Emmanuel Presbyterian Reformed Church

By Robert Press

 

On a cool rainy fall day Mayor Adams arrived at the Emmanuel Presbyterian Church located in the Woodlawn section of the Bronx. As he exited his car Mayor Adams tried to answer some reporters questions, declaring his innocence of charges brought by the U.S. Attorney’s office. He went inside the church and sat down in the front row waiting to be brought up to the pulpit.

When Mayor Eric Adams was introduced he spoke of his African Heritage in Ghana, and bringing his mothers soul back to Ghana to rest. He went on to say that his GPS is set on God. 

Mayor Adams then went into what his administration has done since coming into office in January of 2022. He has created more jobs, there are higher reading and math scores in the public schools, how he has made the city safer, noting that the subway system has had the lowest number or robberies ever. Mayor Adams then spoke about the 217,000 migrants seeking asylum where none of them wound up sleeping on a sidewalk but it was done the Christian way where each was taken care of as he ended his sermon.

On his way outside the church the mayor was greeted by a standing ovation, with parishioners snapping his picture with their cell phones. Once outside Mayor Adams shook hands and posed for pictures with some churchgoers who had gone outside with him. He then entered his car and the car drove him back to Gracie Mansion, the home of the mayor. 

Upon entering the church Mayor Adams was seated in the front row until he was called to come to the pulpit and speak.
