Thanks for providing us with a photo for this weekend when I was not here.

Kevin was the speaker for the church service and I wish I could have heard it.

Thank you, Kevin.

Sabbath, May 28th 2016

I was not able to stay at OCC for church as the Adventurer Club was having the service at Rutland church, but I had a couple of helpers to share some photos with me.

Thank you both so much.

It was so wonderful to have Jackie and her son, Peter play special music for us.  Hope they will have it another time too. 

Ken came from Vernon to talk for the sermon time.
Thank you so much, Ken.

Sabbath - June 18th at OCC

Rina had a very nice and different Father's Day program for our SS.  We learned about several different Father's in the Bible. 

Even the visitors volunteered. 

It was a picnic in a bag.  

Using the field glasses to spot birds over the pond.

Bubbles in the parking lot. 

The children learned about walruses. 

Making bats. 

Doug is a good helper too. 

Brookelyn reading a story about otters.  She is an excellent helper. 

Children's song 

Pastor Brad Thorp sharing about his latest drive across the USA and how he got his Bible back. 

Brad is saying kind things about our Pastor. 

Listening to the kind words spoken about her and her husband.   We just love this couple. 

Kandus came up and told us about the work in Ukraine and what was just accomplished at the meetings she attended in Kiev for  Hope Channel Ukraine. 

Kandus is telling some things from Ukraine that Brad has not heard yet and his so happy about. 

He was very happy to hear these things. 

It is so nice to have the trombones playing along with the piano and organ.

Leading us in the closing hymn. 

We sure do appreciate our little pond each Sabbath. 

Sabbath School at OCC - June 25th 2016

Group from Rutland SDA Church who went to China this spring.  (PC: Bethany Folkenberg) 

Come out for Sabbath School at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow to hear Bob Rogers ( and maybe this two teens) share about their time in China.

I am very thankful that Bob is willing to come to talk to us and hope we will have a nice group there to hear him speak.

Prayer Request

Please pray for the Christison family. They have been told 

that their daughter Bronwyn's cancer has returned. 

They are on their way to Vancouver, so that Bronwyn can be

attended to and treated at the hospital there. 

Please let us unite in prayer for this young child of God.

Mr Christison teaches at the Salmon Arm SDA school. 

Bronwyn and her mum told her story at Rutland Church 

vespers a year or two ago. 

Here are a couple of photos of the family.

Thank you for continuing your prayers for Derek Page also. 

Derek will be moving back to Loma Linda Medical Center 

and they pray 


he does not spike a fever during the transition.  

The nodes in Derek's neck and the mass in left side of his 

face continue to grow at this time.  

Vince and Heather really want all of our prayers as they face

 this difficult time.

Our God is an amazing God.  

We are His children.  Let's never forget just how much He 

loves each one of us. 

Thank you for your prayers for these children and their 

families.
