It is autumn, the harvest season when all kinds of grains and fruits ripe. The last three feasts—the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles, so-called “autumn feasts,” among God-established seven feasts in three times, are also the season when God’s abundant blessings and the gospel fruits are reserved. The Church of God members around the world kept the feasts godly, hoping to harvest many fruits of the gospel, clothed with God-given grace of the forgiveness of sins and with the power of the Holy Spirit.
Before the autumn feasts that begin with the Feast of Trumpets, three dedication services were held in Korea: the Heungdeok Church and the Seowon Church in Cheongju (Sept. 12, 2017), and the Sangdaewon Church in Seongnam (Sept. 16).
