Sabbath November26th 2022

 Doug Franks had the lesson study on Contrary Passages?  

So good to see him up taking the lesson leading again.  Thank you. 

Praise Songs were by the Reflections Team. 

Peace Like a River - everyone enjoyed this song not just the children. 

And right following Glenda shared a story about Little Ruthie and her tiny box of teeny tiny treasures. 

Photo taken and given by Pastor Josue... thanks. 

Giving a part of worship.

To start the worship service Keith played a special music of Sweet Hour of Prayer on his guitar. 

Pastor Josue is excited to share this sermon with us.  And that some of their family is with him today. 

Some of the quotes of this sermon. 

The children were happy to have a class for them with Shannon and Cherri. 

And at the end of church together... 

                                      sisters together.... 

Thank you for coming and worshiping with us and enjoying God's special day together.  

Thinking of Our Members

Thinking about Jerrie Lou and Bob and knowing we will miss him at OCC and in the community. 

It seems to me so many will miss him so much!! 

Today is the memorial for Bob Wickwire at 3 p.m. at SonValley Fellowship on Gordon Drive. 

Please keep this dear family in prayer. 

Bob worked on his book for a time and was so so happy with it when it was printed and ready for sale. 

It is quite the book. 

                   Bob with his family at Jerrie Lou's birthday celebration in September.  His smile was so big and beautiful that day. 

At Walter Wecker's drive by birthday greeting October 2020.  Just happy as could be with wife Jerrie Lou. 

Service on Nov 19th 2022 at OCC

 This Sabbath was a time to Praise Jesus for all He has done for us.  

Glenda lead the lesson discussion time and as often happens the time disappeared so quickly and it was time for the mission spotlight to be shown. 

So glad for the children that were there this Sabbath and that they participated made it even nicer. 

Praise Time was by Beverly and Alex.  Beverly had just returned from her adventure to Panama and was still feeling the effects of all the plane rides but she was there smiling and doing her part. 

A song picked for the children but adults like it too. 

Next came the Children's story and it was great to have children there. 

Thank you Lori for the story. 

A very important young person to help where needed.  Thank you.  

Scripture and Prayer followed. 

Then someone offered to have special music as there was no one else there for it. 

So sweet and nice that he offered and walked up by himself bravely and happily. 

Thank you young man. 

Alex had the sermon and seemed extra happy because his mum was there to listen.

The theme of Alex's talk... God's love and His desire to save us. 

Thank you for that caring sermon, Alex. 

After church greeting ...

It is always wonderful to have special guests join us at OCC and also older members who do not get out as often as they would like.  

It is so nice of everyone to take time to make them feel part of the group. 

Fellowship time outdoors even in the snow. 

And look, is our little bush sending out the little starts of growth?

Thanks for being part of out church service time. 

Come again. 

At OCC October 8th 2022

 Happy Sabbath to all this Thanksgiving Day Sabbath... 

Alison and Jonathan helped lead the Praise Song Time and had children come up for the song for the kids. 

So glad she likes to sing. 

Jerrie Lou told her story of learning how to sew and do those kinds of things with her hands and material.  The quilts she makes with her friends or sisters are so so beautiful and bless many people. 

There are Hundreds Thousands Millions of Sparrows... special music... 

Our guest speaker this day from Van 

Our guest speaker for the day from Vancouver area.  We sure did listen to and enjoy hearing the message Pastor Mario Di Lione had to share with us. Thank you very much. 

Popcorn during Bible story time.

After the service there was a lovely fellowship meal for all who stayed to enjoy. 

Thank you for everyone who made this Sabbath a good day.
