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.

Singing and leaders sharing how the VBS week went  was a big part of the service today. 

The children learned about a different special creature in nature one being a glass frog.  Jerrie Lou told me how the snacks leader made a nice big frog out of a plastic bag holding marshmallow eyes red tongue and green grape body.

Looked like they had very interesting snacks.

David shared about Sticky Scripture meeting time.  The children had books to work in and Bible Verses to learn each day. And a special creature with the Bible verse under it to take home.

Pastor Josue led the games time down by the pond.

He shared these photos of  his for us to see.  Thank you so much for sharing.
