Sabbath June 22, 2013 ~ We welcomed 6 missionaries to our church

Bev and Dave W. are such a blessing as they are so willing to come and share their time and talents with us at Orchard City SDA Church. This Sabbath, they shared some stories and videos with us of their time in the Philippines in April.

VBS on the trip seemed like a real fun time with so many children coming each day. Dave made visits to the homes of the people in the town, and they worked with the evangelistic meetings in the evenings, too.

How great to have visitor come and share their experiences from their mission trip with us.

Donna and Brooklyn shared a very sweet song for a special number in the Praise Time,
and Dave accompanied them on the guitar.
"This Little Light of Mine" - the children's song
Awwwww!
Telling us about the flooding and how bad it is. What a caring little guy.

  2. Thanks Glenda - perfect colouring on the turtle. I was telling my neighbour about our missionaries -- a few hours later she was at the door with a big batch of muffins for them. Loretta
