Autumn Homecoming

Harvest fields autumn fruits farmer’s yields. Garden vegetables appear in abundance church lunch delectables-- Roasting corn and green beans sweet peppers, carrots, and tomatoes, by all means. Afterwards, an old-fashioned hymn sing perhaps with heartfelt testimonies faithful church members will surely bring. Sometimes a gospel quartet's on hand to present a concert of requests. If the church’s young people have a band they might perform some special number, which will be enjoyed by everyone, then all go home for welcomed slumber.
