The Rev. Raphael G. Warnock and his wife, Ouleye Ndoye Warnock, have some good news to share.

The senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta posted a Mother's Day photo with the Mrs. posing in front of what appears to be the lake at Piedmont Park.

“As the curtain closes on this Mother’s Day, I want to say Happy Mother’s Day to my favorite mother to be! Ouleye, I love you and this little one…already. ‪#‎FeelingBlessed‬”

In the Facebook posting, he doesn’t mention when the baby is due.

The couple married earlier this year in a public ceremony at the Auburn Avenue church.

They initially wed in a private ceremony in Danforth Chapel on the campus of Morehouse College, Warnock’s alma mater. Many Morehouse men and Spelman College women have married there.
