May 11th, 2013 ~ Mother's Day Sabbath and Sunshine Bands weekend

The Pastor is helping his wife out this time, as she leads Sabbath School.

Myrna shared photos with us of the Kids Corner at OCC. The children came up to see them with us. She also had her sister, Marilyn, come up and share some stories from her time living in Africa. They were such interesting stories.

The Pastor wants to add some money too.

He was very interested in what Duane was doing until I came along.

The pew where the little girls sit... they play and they listen too. We love having them come to Orchard City Church.

Jim and Edith's son was visiting them and came to church with them along with his wife and young daughter. So nice to meet them.

Carol is such a happy greeter and it is so nice to have her meet everyone on a Sabbath morning to start our worship time together.

Donna and Iris with their Mother's Day roses after church.

Thank you, Dino, for bringing Auntie Beth to church so faithfully. It is so nice to have her at church with us.

Auntie Beth enjoys everyone greeting her and shaking her hand.

Rhonda and her mum were happy to have us come to Sutherland Nursing Home.

Apples, oranges, bananas, Asian pears, and necterines for sharing for Mother's Day. The pretty cards were made by Loretta and the children in OCC Kids Corner.

Bryn, Julie, Don and Christine lead the singing time.

Walter shares a story about when he was a boy and was riding a horse.

A happy lady

The mothers get to pick a fruit they want to eat, but the men did not want to be excluded so they got some too.
Everyone seemed to be very happy with their gifts.
