Week of Prayer - Day 4 October 7th, 2015

It was very interesting to see how different the Week of Prayer meeting was tonight than last night.

This time it was at Son Valley Church on Gordon Drive, and members of that church greeted us and had the praise time.

It is wonderful to sing together. The songs chosen were a good mix of choruses and hymns.

Jean played his guitar and helped lead the Praise Time along with his wife.
Tanya played the keyboard and sang to lead us in the hymns and choruses.
It was Pastor Cam's turn to have the talk this evening and he shared Bible verses and the special Beatitude for tonight.

"Blessed are the merciful... for they shall receive mercy."
He ended with a powerful story about a lady who forgave the man who killed her son and later her husband.
She not only forgave him but asked to take him as her son so she could continue to have someone to pour out her love on.

After a special music by Jean and Tanya, Pastor Cam had us involved in a responsive prayer time.

He gave pauses for us to pray silently and then times were we could add our prayers for others or our praises or share a Bible verse or song. This was a very special time.

After we ended the evening, people gathered in the foyer for refreshments and visiting.

These boxes were stacked up in the foyer and reminded me that we might want to fill some boxes
for children who might get no other Christmas gift. If anyone wants to fill a box I can pick some up at the Alliance Church on Cooper and Springfield.

Hope some more of our OCC members can join in this Week of Prayer at Kelowna Church with OKAA leading out.

  1. Thanks Glenda! If you can pick up some Christmas Child boxes I think it would be great. I'm sure there are some at OCC who would be willing to do one or two.
