Sabbath January 28th, 2012

On the way to Orchard City Church from one direction
The snowy trees along the way
Our parking lot... where is the plow?

Come join us for a happy time in Kids Korner.
It is a busy, happy place, with songs and stories and lots of people.

Upstairs the adults have an excellent story shared by a couple in their 90's. We call it the Angel Story.
This lovely couple came to our church and shared their story of how an angel (he said that she was beautiful and tall and there was so much light it lit the whole room at night) came to help when they were in need.
They shared a couple of songs during the song service upstairs
A big mike for a little girl
Doing his part well
Singing " Our God is So Big, So Strong and So Mighty"
Don telling the story about the dogs who ripped up a box full of books
Such beautiful music from these two
A lively, joyful song service with a children's song and a children's story come before the special music and sermon. We all enjoy seeing the children and hearing them sing.

Then we are ready for some to stay for a pot luck meal  and some to start shovelling again and helping get cars out of the parking lot.
On the tables for the meal - at least it is spring inside
What a helpful person

Then on the way home from church we see a coyote.

    1. It is so good to know people like you are having a look at this blog. It inspires me to keep it going and catch up.
      The whole day was very nice and the fox sighting was special.
      No, it is not Arnie out there this time.

  2. Again love the pictures of the kids. Such lively things happening in their classroom. Looks like a nice song service, too, and children's story and special music! Nice to have such a happy and helpful gang to get the cars headed home OK in all that snow. The "fox" looks mighty similar to the coyote you took a picture of a different week after church. You sure they're not the same?? In any case, a great sighting and wonderful shots of him/her.

  3. Great pictures - I think that Coyote must have been leaving my place!! I have certainly seen a lot of footprints in the snow.
    Love the backdrop and animated activities generating in and from the "Kids Corner" -good work leaders, Thank you.
