Abundant Grace of God Overflowing Joy Magnifying and Giving Thanks to God with Ripened Fruit
Five-hundred-and-four different types of crops symbolize all brothers and sisters in Christ bearing the fruit and giving out the light of the Holy Spirit, in the midst of works of the Holy Spirit, with an earnest desire to become residents of the eternal New Jerusalem. Sunday, November 19, 2006, was observed as "the Feast of Ingathering," one of the three seasons (Exodus 34:22) all believers are commanded by the Bible to commemorate. During the commemorative service Sunday morning, Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Jaerock Lee proclaimed a message titled "Good Fruit" (Matthew 3:12). During the Evening Service, Rev. Dr. Lee testified to a message titled "Fervor" (Isaiah 6:8) and officiated the Communion in honor of the flesh and the blood of Our Lord. The Women's Mission magnified God and gave thanks to Him by decorating each sanctuary at Manmin Joong-ang Church with 79 types of grain, 354 kinds of root and vegetables, and 71 sorts of fruit – in all, 504 different types of crops – 48 more than last year's sum.
