Sabbath of December 20, 2014 at Orchard City SDA Church

This Sabbath is one that is looked forward too all month.
It is the weekend we have a special service with many special songs and always an interesting original poem by Pat P.

After the service there is a long table full of delicious soups and other tasty treats.

This Sabbath the church was full of families and small children. What a happy time praising God and worshiping Him.

Here are a few photos to let you see some of the special music and offering time, and then something a little different happened outside.

Pat P. in red - our poet, who shared another original poem this day.
It started to snow soon after the service started.
The children enjoy this part of the church service in the month of December.
People ask them to hang up little cloth bags filled with money for three projects to help people in our city.
Kid's Corner had one of the first parts of the service. It is so nice to see them up front and singing.
Doing their part to make the Christmas program enjoyable and special.
Children always make things even better when they take part in the program.
Little visitors included.
Right at home up front beside mummy.
Sharon shares her beautiful singing voice in a lovely song.
So glad to have each precious little one at OCC.
Bob W. sings for the program.
We sure do enjoy having visitors come from far and near.
Heidi shares a beautiful song.
Mummy has a willing helper - I am sure to make sure she is not scared up front.
Danielle's beautiful voice did not waver as she gently smiled at her son.

Near the end of the program, Lori showed this clip of The Candy Bomber. Watch the story here.

Then we went outside and the children caught some candy parachutes thrown by the adults. Look at those happy faces!

A lovely fellowship time followed.
