God bless this reptile.
An alligator stopped by a Florida church and the parishioners decided to greet it, and the pastor even tried to give it a business card, UPI reports.
Video shows the alligator at the Victory Church in LeHigh Acres. The gator is seen walking area the property, and walk towards the front door.
The church’s pastor, Daniel Gregory, captured video as he walked up to the alligator.
"We have services at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Sunday mornings. Want to check us out?" Gregory says in the video.
Gregory just wanted to have some fun while this odd thing took place.

"He came to our church. I don't know what his spiritual condition is. I need to invite this gator to church," Gregory said to WBBH-TV.
Even though it may be somewhat amusing, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said that no one should ever get that close to an alligator.
"We certainly encourage the viewing aspect of it, but we never want you to approach a wild animal like that. It can be very dangerous. There's no reason to take a chance," FWC Officer Adam Brown said.
