On New Years Day I was invited to Kelly's church (Seventh Day Adventist) for an Agape Dinner. They celebrated Christ's life, death and resurrection with a nice dinner of foods that would have been eaten during Jesus' life time. We had unleavened breads, dates, grapes, different kinds of cheeses....primarily goat cheeses, and soups. Their Pastor and other members of their congregation read passages from the bible and we sang songs. This was followed by their communion, which also involves foot washing. It was a very enjoyable evening and I was honored to be invited. I have grown to love the people in the Springerville SDA church and it is always good to have a better understanding of what other denominations believe. How can we love one another as Christ has commanded us if we don't know each other? I am thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for living Prophets that have encouraged us to love all people. I am thankful for my relationship with Kelly and her family. She is such a blessing to me and I do believe she has the cutest little ones on the planet. :)
