Howard took the bread and the cup filled with grape juice from the church members. Although this was not his first time receiving Holy Communion, he still couldn't help but glance into the cup when he took the bread and cup.
In the dark red grape juice sloshing in the cup, you can faintly see some floc slowly settling to the bottom of the cup. Maybe it’s the pulp sediment left after grape juice is squeezed? Howard guessed this, and expertly finished the bread silently with the church members sitting next to him, and then drank the grape juice in the glass as the church members raised their glasses together.
After the Holy Communion ceremony, Pastor Love, who was wearing a long white robe with most of his face covered by a white cloth, came forward, holding a rather heavy-looking book in his hand and began to preach to the parishioners, accompanied by The organ in the church started to play, and he began to mutter words. The pastor's voice was not loud, and the language he used to preach was not the English that Howard was familiar with, but his tone contained a wonderful magic, not only It can make people put down their guard and feel at ease, and even if they don't understand what he is saying at all, the tone of his voice makes people feel as if they understand what the other person wants to convey.
A large part of the reason why Howard came to this church regularly to attend church and pray was due to the pastor's wonderful sermons.
The fear and anxiety that had been lingering in his heart were soothed by the melodious and sacred melody of the organ, and Howard's tense spirit gradually relaxed. Under Pastor Love's calm and reassuring words, the believers Close your eyes devoutly and recite prayers silently in your heart. The sun shines on the priest through the painted glass, and the dust swaying in the morning light reflects the gleaming light, making the entire ceremony look particularly sacred and solemn.
After a period of time, the Sabbath service came to an end after completing the usual process. Many believers left with expressions of satisfaction and peace of mind on their faces. Obviously, this weekly service brought them spiritual happiness. Comfort and satisfaction, but there are also many believers who still stayed in the church after the epidemic ended and did not leave.
Howard was one of those believers who didn't leave.
Of course, they stayed in the church and did not leave, not because they needed to confess, nor because they wanted to stay in the church to continue praying, but because they had other important matters.
Hey, Howard!
The retired mercenary sitting on the bench heard someone calling him. He turned his head following the sound and found a familiar young man waving to him: Hey! Bro, can I sit here?
Howard frowned: He had the impression that this young man had met each other several times. Most of the church members knew each other's names, so it was not surprising to know his name. He also knew the other person's name, but their relationship only stayed on the face. The name matched him so well that he frowned just because the other person acted too naturally and familiarly.
Fortunately, this was a church where he could let down his guard and feel at ease. In addition, he had been completely relaxed after having attended Sabbath services before, so Howard was not as neurotic and hyper-vigilant as usual, but was very nervous. He Shan nodded to him, indicating that she didn't mind him sitting next to her.
You didn't leave either? After receiving Howard's approval, Laohocki sat down next to him. Just like his outward appearance, he curiously inquired about the reason why the other party stayed here and did not leave: I heard that this church There is a spiritual travel class. Do you want to stay and sign up for that travel class?
Howard raised his eyelids and didn't even look at him: No.
Although attending Sabbath services can soothe Howard's tense spirit, it can only prevent him from being as hyper-vigilant as he is outside. He may get angry and hurt others at any time because of the smallest things. After all, faith is not personality overwriting or cognitive modification. It hasn't reached the point where his temperament has changed drastically, so it's normal for him to be in a moody mood.
Laohocki didn't feel embarrassed, as if he had already known that the other party would react this way, and continued to advance the topic on his own: Huh? no? I thought you heard about the spiritual travel class, so you stayed and signed up for the class. By the way, do you know about the spiritual travel class?
have no idea.
You don’t even know this? ! Laohocki's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, attracting several surrounding congregants to look sideways, and then he immediately noticed
He covered his mouth because of his lapse and whispered: Then what are you doing here?
I have some questions for Pastor Love.
Well, how about I tell you about the spiritual travel class?
no.
Don’t say no so quickly! Anyway, the pastor hasn't come out yet, so you won't lose any weight listening to me. Laohocki muttered and ignored Howard's objections, and began to talk about what he heard from others. It is said that the spiritual travel class that the church will organize this time is specifically for believers who have suffered from mental trauma and long-term mental illness. organized by them
Although Howard didn't listen to what he said, he still quietly pricked up his ears when he heard this.
His performance could not escape Laohaki's eyes. When he saw that the other party was interested, he immediately made a mysterious look and continued: I heard that they are planning to organize a group of believers who are willing to participate. Let's join together. Going on vacation, in addition to the tourist attractions, I also prepared some spiritual projects this time
Everyone will worship together and pray to Heavenly Father together, and spiritual projects can also help some new believers to quickly hear the gospel conveyed by Heavenly Father and angels, allowing old believers to get closer to the glory of Heavenly Father, and then work together Gain peace of mind and soul. Hey, traveling to relax sounds like a great idea
However, this news has been circulating for less than half a month, and there has been no follow-up news. Hey, could this event be ruined?
Laohocki was talking to himself about stand-up comedy, and Howard didn't respond to him at all. Instead, he made a calculation in his mind...his PTSD is also a chronic disease that cannot be cured for a long time. , although every time he came to the church to participate in sexual intercourse, he always gained spiritual peace, but in a few days he would be tortured by the mental trauma of the past as always.
At this time, the believers who were still in the church began to commotion.
Pastor Love is out!
Praise our Lord, Pastor, do you have time now? I would like to ask you to help me explain the meaning of the gospel that the angel conveyed to me.
Pastor Love, can you help me interpret the gospel I just heard yesterday?
Pastor Love is a man with a decent appearance and deep-set eyes. He had just finished clearing the pulpit with other believers, and the believers who had been waiting for a long time gathered around him. Faced with all the questions the believers had about the gospel, he could easily answer them. He provides guidance to others, and often his simple explanations can make confused believers suddenly enlightened and enlightened.
Soon the group of believers surrounding him left one after another, and Howard finally found the opportunity to squeeze in front of Pastor Love.

Yes, Pastor, I have some questions that I would like to hear from you. Howard nodded, and falling into the arms of Heavenly Father made me feel an unprecedented peace. Every time I prayed to Heavenly Father and every time I participated in a ***, I felt the peace of my soul. It’s just that I’m wondering why I haven’t been able to hear the gospel conveyed by Heavenly Father and the angels so far. Even the church members who entered the church at the same time as me have heard the gospel. Am I not praying devoutly enough? Or is this a test from Heavenly Father to me?
Pastor Love listened carefully to Howard's troubles, his deep eyes always looking at the latter. After listening to the story for a while, he had a gentle smile on his face: Don't worry about this, my brother. Your coming to participate in *** every week proves that you are devout enough to your talent, but Heavenly Father has reasons for not spreading the gospel to you. We cannot make any assumptions.
However, if
If you still have doubts about this, you may want to consider joining our spiritual travel class. Together with the spiritual practice programs guided by professionals, you can get closer to your Heavenly Father.
