Clergy Prepare Their Sanctuaries And Prayers Ahead Of The Ferguson Grand Jury Decision

Jaweed Kaleem

All week, people have bringing donations to Rev. Tommie Pierson's church in Ferguson, Missouri. They've provided hot dogs, hamburger patties, condiments, water bottles and first-aid kits. Usually, the food and other supplies would be for the poor and homeless, but these days Pierson is collecting for what he suspects will be an inevitable series of protests in the neighborhood.

"If Darren Wilson is not indicted, people are going to take to the streets, no question," said Pierson, pastor of Greater St. Mark Family Church.
