Campmeeting Sabbath July 25th

Such a nice cool Sabbath at Camp Hope.

It seemed like it was a good thing after the hot weather just before campmeeting started.

Cool and refreshing driving in to camp.
Give thanks for 50 years- give hope for the next 50.
Registration
Sabbath afternoon....Pastor Brad Thorp with visiting Pastor Erton Carlos Köhler and others.

The General Conference surprised Brad with gifts and prayers and encouragement for his past work in sharing Jesus through Hope Channel and coming  back after retirement to be B C conference President for several years and for what Brad still will do for Jesus ahead.

 Kandus received lovely flowers from Teeny Finely along with a prayer but Kandus was aware of the surprise vistors and accolades for Brad. 

Pastor Köhler had the service for the morning. 

Lunch break was quick before the Pathfinder and Adventurer Club parade.











































Maybe a few drops of rain fell but the parade went well with lots of clubs joining in. 

They headed to the main pavilion where they marched in and finished the program. 


Visiting friends and family filled the rest of the day along with more meetings. 

A pretty craft in the 7 and 8  division....



They word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.  Psalm 119:105

OCC Last Sabbath

 The tables were ready for the after church picnic when we arrived.

It was time for prayer group...praying for our church family, our neighbours and our children.  There is always so much to pray about and hearing the prayers of others is very encouraging. 


Our little pond. 


Look who came in time for prayer group.  He wanted to offer his prayer too which was so nice. 
Lesson time with Lori.

Simon had a very easy to understand sermon about remembering Jesus 's care even when He is asleep in the boat.  No need to fear for Jesus is near. Thank you Simon. 
Our sign is up...Family Fun Day in September. 
Remember Marina Ganz 's family and friends as they as they accept her terrible fall and death shortly after. She was to be working at campmeeting this week.
