Day in One Accord

Like the Christians in the book of Acts-The church of Christ, Enjoy a'Day In One Accord'. One Sunday a month, we meet with the Garberville church for worship and potluck fellowship. The idea is from South County, R. I., adopted from the bible book 'Acts of the Apostles'.

This Sunday, we began early with Bible class and worship (in Spirit & in Truth). The singing sounded so full with all of us praising God together. The sermon was inspired by God's Holy Word; the children were so well behaved.
Afterwards, we prepared the potluck meal. We bake Italian bread topped with spinach & cheese. This week, we had an extra treat, an angel-food cake, which we served to Poppa & Papi as they sat with coffee to converse.

The children played with the dogs in the sunny backyard, while we ladies enjoyed chit-chat while heating the brunch in the kitchen. The young husbands helped set up the chairs and set out warm food. With children lined up, Poppa Widner leads us all in a thankful prayer.
As everyone sat to enjoy the meal, it reminded me of a story a sister-in-Christ once told me,'The difference between Heaven and Hell'. The difference between Heaven and Hell is: in Hell, everyone is at a banquet with long spoons each trying to serve only themselves as they gripe and curse furiously. In Heaven, everyone has long spoons and they are lovingly serving each other, enjoying and rejoicing at the Lord's Banquet.

Dishes spread Aunt Angie served my favorite-white rice. I love the time we have to reunite and reminisce with one other. We talk and share about our hopes and cares. For musical background, I brought a country CD to share with everyone. I gave one of the girls a large pink-floral calendar book. This book is full of historic events, and she likes to color in the pictures, I'm hope she'll enjoy it a lot. I gave the second girl a colorful picture word-book about bridges and towns, she smiled sweetly and shyly said, 'Thank You'. The little boy got an animal book, his eyes were wide open as he looked at the big pictures. Their momma got a note card. I love seeing people's faces light up, when they get a surprise.

We all enjoyed ourselves very much and we always look forward with excitement to our next 'Day In One Accord'.
