The children gathered in the front pew for story time with Brian. He had brought star fruit for all to try. God told Peter that he should try different foods and he couldn't live on one thing alone. We are put on the earth to try different things in life. After the prayer the children adjourned to Sunday school. Karen Davenport read scripture from Acts II: 1-18, John 13: 31-35 and Psalm 148 read responsively with the congregation. Brian's message to the congregation was reflected around the children's time. God commands Peter to eat and drink and try everything. Many religious groups do not eat pork. Pork is forbidden in many areas of the world. We are so blessed with so many foods that God gives us freely. We need to have our faith and send the message out for all to see. We are lucky to be able to celebrate the first harvest and we should love each other as he loves us. After the singing of the hymn, "Spirit of the Living God", Larry Harper and Doug Walker took up the offering which was dedicated. The closing hymn, "Come, Let Us Sing of a Wonderful Love", benediction and blessing, "Go Now In Peace" concluded the morning worship service.
