HOMECOMING SUNDAY

Hello, friends!  Hope you are having a good day.  Today is a busy day just like most of my days are.  But before I get started I thought I would tell you about Sunday.  The first Sunday of every November is Homecoming Sunday.  It is the anniversary of the founding of our congregation.  This year we celebrated 97 years.

I went over on Saturday and redid the two bulletin boards.  I didn't get a picture of the one on the lower level, but here is the one at the rear of the sanctuary.  I took down the old, tired, faded green paper and put up a fresh white.  Then I added some fall leaves, pumpkins and a cornicopia.  I put new headings up and took down the out of date items.  I think it turned out good.

We had quite a crowd at Sunday School.  It was nice.

We were having a lunch after the morning service and so all the tables were decorated with either pumpkins or acorns and fall leaves.

In the sanctuary each windowsill had live flowers donated to us by the Hatfield church.  We were told we could each take one home and use it as a reminder to pray for the church.

The morning worship service.  Pastor at the front.

The singing was fantastic.

Prayer request time.

 

Our sweet Rose almost always has a message of love and a song to sing for us.  This week was no exception.

Pastor's message was about the Christ centered church.  Where we all should be.

The lunch was so delicious.  Everyone donated something -- even some of the visitors.  Pork roast, sweet potatoes, apples and sausage casserole, pasta with tomato sauce and cheese that Joe made, mixed veggies.  There were so many desserts -- apple pie, pumpkin pie, cakes, cookies, rice pudding, and I made a pumpkin dump cake.

I was so busy talking to my friends and eating that I didn't take one picture.  But believe me I did not leave hungry.

I wasn't feeling all that good and wasn't going to stay.  But I'm so glad I did.

And now I am going to go start my day.  See you all later.
