Our Minute Man Pastor

This Sabbath our Pastor kept himself very busy by volunteering for several things and it was interesting to see.

Sabbath School was presented by Lori and after a short video she asked people to read texts.


The Sabbath School classes were well attended.

It was so nice to see four young girls in the Older Kid's Corner this week.



Such a bright and pretty day.

Rocky Mountain Adventure  - Kid's Corner Sabbath School. 
Story Telling for the Older Kid's Corner
Special Bible - pretty in pink and flowers!!
Singing along in Praise Time

We all had fun with the children's song this week.. I've Got Peace Like a River
The person was not there for children's story so the Pastor shared one using his guitar and letting the children each play a chord. 

Special Music ( somehow the person did not show up) - the Pastor and DD played a song together for it.  We sure did enjoy it. 

He said his sermon was 14 minutes long so there was time to hear him play and sing a very lovely song at the end of the sermon. 
Ordinance of Humility or Foot Washing 

Grape Juice


Nice for Walter to have his grandson in church - visiting from several hours away. 
After fellowship dinner the Pastor is still serving.  Doing his part in the kitchen. 

And ends the time at church with a smile while he dries the dishes.


Pretty little bird in the mountain ash tree with berries.  Can you see the bird?

Sabbath, January 7th 2017 ~ at OCC

It was good to be at OCC for the first Sabbath in the new year ~ 2017.

If you were not able to attend here are some photos for you to see what happened this past Sabbath.

















Thank you, Kevin, for sharing the story of your struggles with your current health issue.   We appreciate your strong faith in Jesus through of this.  It is good for us all to think about our relationship with Jesus and take time for Him daily.

Sabbath at OCC December 17 2016

It was a Sabbath of people helping people out.  For some reason a lot of people did not make it today and so others did their parts for them.

We enjoyed everything about our church service and SS so thank you to all who helped out.









A new quarter is coming up and this will be our study guide.  




The birthday boy today... Happy Birthday and many more good years ahead.  

Always ready to serve. 

Adding a little gift bag to the tree for giving to some special place.  Remember this offering will be until the last Sabbath in December. 

Paul told us the scripture text and waited for us all to find it before reading it.  
Telling a story about her grandson that worked well with the sermon too.  Thank you for sharing. 
Listening to the story so nicely. 

Jesus Made the Sunshine, Sunshine, Sunshine... and the snowflakes too.  Thank you for helping us out, Danielle. 

So good to have them at OCC today!! They are little rays of sunshine we just sang about. 
Gifts on the tree. 

Beautiful singing from Danielle.  The request was for her to sing, Little Drummer Boy.  Thanks so much for sharing. 

It is fun to capture the pretty singing on the phone...

Yes, it is... 

Alex shared a wonderful sermon and it was one I will remember.

We are heirs of His and will wear a crown one day.  Alex wore one today. 

Listening to Alex preach.  Learning all the time. 
Next Sabbath is the Christmas program.  Come and enjoy.

Our Pastor's Bible is filled with colour.  
Lovely winter flowers.

Paul the story teller for the day.  

Remember the special offering taken in the service time each week of December. 

If you want unique gifts have a look at this catalogue - from ADRA- you can give someone a brick or a cow or various things to make their lives improved.  

Bob and Don sing a duet for our church service.  Thank you both. 

One of the devotionals you can order from Jerrie Lou. 

Another one you can order for daily reading in the new year. 

This week there was a little action poem the children had for their up front time in Praise Time.  Thanks for leading it Heidi. 


Taking time to share with others.

So nice to hear him play a hymn. 

These two sang the hymn that Bob and Don did in the morning. 

Making everyone smile. 
Snowy days are here for a time.  Enjoy the fresh, cleanness of this season.
