Orchard City SDA Church November 19th 2016

It was so nice to have Rina at Sabbath School again and she was our superintendent this week.
She brought us some Challah bread she had made and talked about the Sabbath and how special it is.
We were reminded to make Sabbath the most special day of the week and to think and plan for it all week long.

Thank you, Rina.

Part of our before Sabbath School Praise Team.  It is so nice to come to church and hear such splendid music from the trombones, piano, organ and voices.  Thank you very much for sharing your music. 

The Challah bread - it looks good and inviting. 

A cover for the Challah bread and a special sparkling grape juice and candles in holders make for a lovely start to the Sabbath on Friday evening. 

Praise leader this Sabbath is Bob.  He picked a great song for the children's song and we all enjoy doing the actions with the singing ~ "My God is so Great, so Strong and so Mighty"

Chorister helper with her cheery smile. 

Our children's story was given by Jason this week and he had a really nice poem about Little Ruthie and the Big Dog ( bear who kept her warm in the dark night when she was lost).
Thank you for sharing this story in poem.

This beautiful little face snuggled close to her grampa during church today. 

We are so thankful to have children in our church.  They are a very special part of our church family. 

Keith brought us the sermon today and had many examples of people in the Bible that went through trials and pain but stood tall for God.  Keith was busy today as he had special music along with his wife, Heidi and also lead out it the closing song with his little daughter.   It is a pleasure to hear this family sing at Orchard City Church. 

After church service chat.
