December 14th at Orchard City SDA Church

Gifts that God gives us
God gives us daily gifts:
Sight
Hearing
Taste
Touch
Smell

Let's never take His gifts for granted.

You might cry like I did when watching this short video, but what an ending... Good triumphs! 
Let us never forget He is good.

The reader's theatre on the Psalms was very nicely done.
Each person added their part and their candle at the right time.
We enjoyed hearing the group's special music.
In Kid's Corner, the children enjoyed the room change and the softness of the tree lights while they coloured here.
A brilliant star!
It is good so good to have good friends singing songs with you.
