Celebrating the "birthday of the Church" at the party afterwards, the congregation found a Pentecost cake--and surprise gifts for everyone.

Young people eye the gifts... which to select??

Festive red clothes were the order of the day.

Another of Shepherd of the Hills' wonderful pot-luck banquets!

Adorning oneself with ribbons suggests...

... that we are, after all, gifts for one another!
