Church on July 13, 2013

Sylvia B. agreed to arrange the Sabbath School program for this Sabbath and it was delightful. She invited two ladies to share a personal story about a time when they knew God answered their prayer.

First was Melanie with such a heart warming story to share.

It really helps the rest the listeners to have stronger faith when we share stories like this. Thank you, Melanie.

Next was Donna.  Her story was a very different setting then Melanie's but the results were the same. God cares about each little or big thing that happens to us. He loves us.

After the stories, Sylvia had five people stand where they were and read Bible promises. She then talked a little more to tell us about the song we were to hear next, and it was beautiful in words and photos. Thank you for the very encouraging program.

"Your Anchor Holds" is the song we listened to. Here is the Story Behind the song and then the song sung by the composer. It is different then the Ray Boltz version, but it is tender and full of God's care.

Praise Time was brought to the church family by the VBS children singing some of their songs from the last week. They sure did enjoy those songs and really sang out.

 Thank you, Melanie for leading out and waiting for your trip south.

Our Leader/Pastor. He helped with VBS all week, and then was ready for Communion Service after the Praise Time.

Thank you, Tyler Quiring for taking pictures for me of OCC Praise Time this week.
