 This Sabbath we enjoyed a special Christmas program put on by members of the Orchard City SDA church and the Winfield SDA church.

It was very nice to see our friends on Sabbath morning and meet together.  

Thank you organizers and participants.  

Karen and Dave greeted each person as they arrived for the program with beautiful smiles and warm words. 

The Reflections Team lead us in singing some Christmas hymns.

This young man and his little brother brought a happiness as they had the scripture. 

Little brother had a mishap and had to use his crutches to get up the aisle.

 

Someone said to me how very nice it is to hear young voices at our church.  Thank you for being part of the program. 

Dave, who used to be a member at OCC but now goes to Winfield, had a reading with another church member from Winfield.  So nice to see Dave at our church again for a visit.

Jacob playing a portion of Handel's Messiah - it was very nicely played.

Lauren played two piano solo pieces she had practiced and wanted to share... We Three Kings and 

Jonathan and Alison brought the Selah version of O Come O Come Emmanuel and it was a pleasure to hear them. 

Camden and Lauren sand with their parents... Little Stars that Twinkle".  Next time we hope we can hear their sweet voices. 

Joel shared "Little Drummer Boy" and it was well done. 

We enjoy watching Tammy as she does signing along with the music to Breath of Heaven. Denise sang so beautifully along with the signing and it was really lovely to see.

Keith and Heidi sang their duet and their blended voices are a joy to hear. 

So nice to be able to quietly record a piece to watch later. 

Our Pastor shared a short message before we went downstairs to enjoy a lovely luncheon together. 

The fellowship time is very important too... we need to be part of each others lives. 

Liza put together such pretty candle and berry center pieces.
