DES MOINES, Iowa--Pastor General Joseph Tkach joined 160 members from Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota in Des Moines for a Feast of Trumpets celebration, Sept. 21.
In a sermon titled "You Can't Have a Second Coming Without a First Coming," Mr. Tkach presented a factual, balanced approach toward Christmas observance.
During a potluck afterward, he was presented with a card featuring his portrait by local artist and church member, Bernie Wernli, which was signed by all.
Brethren were thankful that Mr. Tkach visited them while attending a Church of God Seventh-day conference in Des Moines. He was available for several hours after services to talk and listen to them.
