Sabbath Jan 31st

Occ started with a lovely prayer time. 

Tell us if you want prayer for you or someone in your family.

Shining as Lights in the Night was the title of the 5th lesson in this quarter.

It was such a great lesson. How are we true Christians reflecting God s light like the moon 🌙 reflects the sun 🌞?

Kay-Anna and Liza came up to pick the real orange juice.  We can say we are Christians but others can tell how real we are. 

The bottle of 100% orange juice. 

Karen does very nice up front on her Sabbaths. 

So great for there to be willing people to play on their weekend.

Young ladies waiting for their turn to lead Praise Time. 

They picked interesting and different songs for us to worship with. 

So great to have these young girls be so involved...Orchard City was started for this reason...Rutland church was so crowded and OCC became the church for young people to be known and learn leadership. 

My Head My Shoulders My Knees My Toes was a nice active song for the young ones.

Everyone participated and smiled.

Olga told a story for the children in place of Beverly.

This little one can be jumpy and smiley...we enjoy him at church.

Young offering collector.

Not only did they have Praise Time but also had Special Music 

And scripture...

And prayer.

David started the church service time with a nice entry into the Seeds of Kindness  topic.

He shared about how as he was going to help at the Gospel Mission and a  person from there who was living there welcomed him as a fellow housemate. 

Glenda shared about a time when she had to decide to obey God's leading in public a public place.

Joy shared of a few times when she was shown mercy and love ❤️.  

Doug told of how kindness to someone difficult to work with was noticed and kindness returned.

Kerressa told of a friend she gave some kind sharing with several years ago and just lately heard of how much she appreciated it.

Karen shared about when her mum was shopping and walking up in Rutland and fell really hurting herself and how people came to support her and help her.

It was a so nice to think about kind caring times in our lives.

Saturday evening at OCC

 It was 

I missed the worship part which I was sorry about.

It happened at 6 pm before the games started.

Group games began and most joined in...the ones who could move and sing at the same time.

Lively and many laughs...

Then table group games started.

Uno in one room and domino's and in another room a of something like Sheep and ? 

The soup was ready as was the other plentiful foods.

Race type games came next with very good sports. 

Eating The Bun with your hands behind your back was pretty tough but Weldon and Pastor Josue and Liza did their best...had to keep a close eye on one of those three though...

Time to leave.

Join in if you can for the next social time. 

Thank you for those who led out.
