Harvest Sunday

Today, November 6th, is Harvest Sunday at our Church

 Late yesterday afternoon several people came to decorate the Church inside and out for this special service!  Here they used palm tree branches.

 What a 'lil cutie!  She's here visiting her Grandparents, Auntie's & Uncle's.  She and her Mommy fly back to Cincinnati tomorrow.  There will be some sad family members :o(

Palm branches arched over the back pews

Taken from the balcony 

Fruit/veggies in front of the pulpit

In the right corner is sugar cane 

There were several tables set up in the front of the Sanctuary. . . . .

because the Congregation is supposed to bring in baskets of food which is then divided up for the elderly.  Here some of the younger kids were bringing in their baskets.

Some of the baskets that have arrived 

Three girls were playing the offertory here but you can't see them too good because of the jungle :o)  The Dept. of Agriculture always gives potted plants/trees to the Church to use for decoration.

The children sang for us . . . . .

and some of them gave recitations.

And our wonderful I.T. man sang a beautiful solo 

It was an awesome service of Thanksgiving!!
