Here, we are again presenting another joyful day with the Lord in Elmhurst, Queens. God is faithful in protecting over His church. The day started off with the congregation worshipping and giving thanks to God for all the blessing God has given us. We were dancing and enjoying His presence. If you look at the picture above, you may wonder what happened during our thanksgiving service. Well, in short, there is a wedding ceremony, a birthday celebration, and of course, a free thanksgiving luncheon.
Here are a couple more pictures on your left from the service.Thanksgiving day is a national holiday in US, and this day is a special day, especially for some who could never make it to church on Sunday because of their work schedule.
The pastor shared the message about the Holy Spirit, how as Christians, it is very important to live according to the Spirit. The Holy Spirit will teach us how to pray, what to do, and always keep us align with God's will.
The food were great. There were different stations where you can choose your menu from: spicy (minang asli), not so spicy (forley cafe), hot food (bakwan campur), desert, roast pork (babi guling).
And of course, it didn't end there. I was kindly invited to a church member's house to join their thanksgiving dinner.
And so the blessing continues. Everyone shares their experiences, makes funny comments about "black friday" (the day after thanksgiving where many stores provide massive discounts on their products to mark the beginning of Christmas season), while eating the delicious turkey, mashed potato, sweet yam, crab meat soup, roast chicken...
Before the day ended, all the children posed by the stairwell, and gave their warmest thanksgiving smiles.
God bless.
