I was sad that my friend, Edith, was in the hospital as she so badly wanted to join us for this special Sabbath.
I told her that I would take pictures of the day with her in mind so she could see what was happening at Orchard City Church.
These are for you, Edith. We miss you here.
We were privileged to have Pastor W. Culmore attend our Sabbath School and church services.
After a great start to the morning with Don Q. leading the praise time, Aase D. shared photos and stories and a short video about her family and her time in Norway and helping to finish a church building there.

| She did share with us a mission project dear to her heart. It was so nice to hear her talk and lead out in Sabbath School. |
