Today the kids and I decided to go to the mountains since Jennifer was working. We met my parents, my sisters and their families in Confluence for their annual Pumpkin Festival. We arrived in Confluence during the height of the festivities! We walked down into town and met people we knew from Belle Vernon and a few other spots! Small world indeed! As we walked through town we stopped to try out the food booths (it was a bad day for the waistline)! We had the best pizza in the world, $2.00 pepperoni rolls that were almost 10 inches long! We tried the pumpkin rolls, funnel cakes, pumpkin ice cream, and the chocolate chip cookies! I did say it was a bad day for the waistline.
One of the best moments of the day was watching Wesley Chapel UMC and Confluence UMC at work witnessing to the crowd. Abby went into the Wesley Chapel booth as they offered free face painting. As she walked in, I slowly positioned myself near the edge of the tent. I listened as the women asked Abby, "Do you go to church Abby?" Abby said, "yes." The woman asked Abby which face painting she wanted. Abby pointed to the heart cross with different colors. The woman then told Abby what each color represented and she explained who Jesus was. This woman just witnessed in such a loving and meaningful way to our 4 year old. So simple that Abby understood everything she told her. Abby was so proud of her heart cross on her cheek.
I found it wonderful to see the United Methodist churches in town witnessing to the community to which they are a part of. Thanks Wesley Chapel and Confluence UMC's for a witness well done!
