On this serene Sunday morning all of God's creatures are congregating. The humans have arrived in cars and buggies. The deer, who have been waiting all night, slowly stir. The cows amble contentedly toward their morning drink. Suddenly, the calf becomes aware of strangers across the stream. In response the young doe rises, ears alert, and intently watches the intruders' approach. After a few moments of mutual inspection, both cows and deer will continue on with their business. High above the steeple, the circling pigeons have been scattered by ringing bells. They patiently wait for silence so they can return to their comfortable resting place on the church roof.
