Harvest Sunday

Today was Harvest Sunday and we had 94 people in church today! To celebrate the harvest God has blessed us with this year, our people were encouraged to bring foods from their gardens to decorate the auditorium. All that was brought in will later be taken and donated to the city orphanage we work in and to the orphanage close to the land we are still working on buying for our camp grounds.

For Harvest Sunday, we also planned a Fall Fair. Leading up to today, invitations were passed out and announcements were posted throughout the neighborhood around the church to attract children. Each Sunday School class was assigned two game booths and an item to bring for the dinner that was to be served afterwards. Every aspect of the day was geared towards salvation, and a verse from the Romans Road was posted at each booth. Those verses were later implemented into the preaching. Though no one was saved today, all heard the Gospel and we trust that great fruit will come as a result of all of the hard work that was put in! So many great things happened today... so I hope you will enjoy looking as I share many of the pictures I took! The most rewarding part for me was to see how many different people in our church participated in serving others.
