Breakfast at Church

To try something different we had Breakfast at Church.

Long ago Don said he would put on a breakfast before church and now was the time.

He called on great helpers and Dave E and Doug F came out early to help serve.

Some kind people helped with clean up and made this morning a very nice time.

We also welcomed Karenda to Kelowna and OCC.  So happy she is part of our family.

Sabbath School was led by Pastor Jim and he shared one of the videos in a new series he would like to show later this year.

The children's SS rooms were busy places and looked like lots of learning going.  Smiles were shared and now you can look at some of the photos so you can smile too.

Huge Oranges to Enjoy

Muffins 

Happy Boy 

She said " Can you take a picture of me?" 

So glad to see younger ones and older ones out for breakfast.  

Pastor Jim explaining the video for ss. 

Study time  led by Doug L 

Her happy smile helps us want to go out with her to share the Word. 

Pastor Jim led the Praise Time and everyone sure did sing out with enthusiasm even for the children's song - Jesus Loves Me. 

Happy Birthday to you!!!

Listening to the story Loretta shares. 

Thanks for telling us all that amazing story. 

These two shared special music this morning and we enjoyed hearing their sweet voices and piano playing too.  Thank you!!

How nice of her to thank us all for welcoming her. 

After singing she came back to her family and knelt for prayer. 

Mr Q sat so quietly during the service. 

Alex spends a lot of time on getting his talk ready and it was good to hear.  Thank you. 

Spring will arrive!!

Sabbath at OCC ~ Dec 5th, 2015

Third Sabbath in February Already...

Lori wanted to have this special Sabbath School program about how a church is also a family. She had people read some passages and then some people shared experiences and then we watched a short video to go along with the song  Family of God.

All through the week let's remember that we are family. Family needs contact. Family needs prayer.

Trying to leave for church... more snow!!!

So glad she is a willing participant.

PLAY SLIDESHOW

Praise Time was nice with Olga leading out.
She had two willing helpers for church Praise Time.

Children's Song and Children's Story is always enjoyed by all ( even the ones who might not like to come up to the front right now and that is OK)

Wide, Wide As the Ocean, High as the Heaven Above...

A little skinny pig was the visitor for Children's Story.

Thank you, Jason for sharing your new pet with us. 

He knows just what to do and waits patiently for the offering to be taken out and given in the basket. 

Sure did appreciate Ernie's special music songs and Bonnie's playing the piano with him.
He has heart and soul and puts it all into what he does.

Enjoying This Day - February 10th

Bonnie had the SS time this weekend and she talked about Personal Ministries.

Walter read this text.  

Dave read one... and 

Arnie also shared one... some others did too. 

Bonnie gave us ideas for prayer walking and later she gave us routes or roads to walk on. 

Alex lead the upstairs lesson time.  The Marks of a Steward.

Have a peek in the Primary SS room.  This bright wall hanging is eye catching.  The children looked engaged and glad to have a room for their SS. 

Do you remember what hymn we were singing?  It was such a nice one we sang it again!! Beverly and Don seem to be enjoying leading the Praise Time. 

What was the children's story about this week?  I think he might remember. 

Part of the Children's song before the sermon begins. 

Doug tells the story to the children and the adults. 

Alex is Elder of the Month and introduced the speaker for the morning. 

Pastor Justice begins the sermon on a parable in Christ Object Lessons.

The beautifully set fellowship lunch tables.  Thanks ladies. 

Food to share with friends.  

Someone worked hard on their craft.
