Our Members Enjoy Travels

Lots of OCC church family  have traveled to interesting places in the last few months.

Let's have a peek at where they have been.

Beverly shared a few photos from her recent time in Hawaii to visit her son and family.

So nice to see the warmth of the sun and family ties in Hawaii.

Thank you Beverly.

Bonnie and Doug had a great time with family in Washington and Oregon lately.

They sure have grand smiles.

Eygpt was the travel destination for the Snyder family in September.

That must have been such a great adventure. 

Thank you Erinn. 

Yolanta and Leanne say Hello from Mexico.

She says the young green iguanas are so cute. 

Nice to hear from them. 

Pastor Josue and Tammy had a surprisingly warm and humid crossing of the water and interesting vacation on their cruise from London to Portugal. 

Tammy says that it feels like a person plans and waits for the holiday and then it is over in a blink.

She said they fell in love with Fungual Portugal in particular. 

Thanks for the beautiful photos Tammy.

We just happened to meet in Vernon last Sunday.  It was a fun couple of  hours long little venture. 

Pastor Josue was on a recent vacation too.  They flew to London then cruised over to Portugal.

Did you get to eat this huge muffin, Pastor?

Thank you for sharing little glimpses of your trip, Pastor.

Two others went on a very lovely long drive across Canada in September and October.

Sabbath November 1st 2025

 Welcome to Orchard City Church.

Our prayer time to start off our Sabbath Services is to thank the Lord for all His care for us. We have so much to be thankful for.

Then we pray for our church to be full of people seeking His will and way.

It is really special to hear the prayers of others. A great privilege to meet with people praying together.

Join us as you can.

Lesson study is next and no matter what the topic is the people gathered have good insights to share and we learn more each study time.

It is great that our Praise Time people are right ready after Mission Spotlight to start the music participation part.

It is so interesting to hear and see the stories of what thec13th Sabbath offering has done or built from 2021 or previously. Our offerings are gifts to God for His kindness and care to us.

Bonnie was playing the piano as we entered the sanctuary first thing and again after Sabbath School ended.

Elder of the Morning. 

Song leader.

Bonnie shared an excellent Health Nugget about Trust in God.

It is as much a part of our health as is our food intake or exercise.

Trust...

Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

Relax and trust.

Prov 14:30

Not just what we eat but what eats us.

Resentment fear anger... it is our choice.

Choice

Worry or worship

Panic or praise

It is your choice. 

Children s song enjoyed by all. 

My God is So Great So Strong and so Mighty.

Childrens story and offering are the next part and then the regular offering.

Giving at church or giving  online are part of healthy living too.

Giving lets us be ready to receive.

We give in thanks and gratitude of all God has done for us in our lives.

Special Music by Dianne singing  and her grandson playing the guitar. It was really wonderful to hear.

Liza had Scriptire reading

Speaker of the Morning...Herb Larsen Junior 

All the way from Abbotsford...Here is family and brings family with him.  His father and his wife and brother...then family who go to  OCC regularly.

Such a warm time to listen this imaginative minded man speak about Whippets and Greyhounds and Border Collies then share stories from his personal life he calls Devine appointments and weave in many Bible texts that tells us what we are created to do in this life. What makes us feel happiest and most fulfilled...doing what is in our DNA...share Jesus and helping them give their hearts to Him.

Some verses he used:

2nd Corinthians 5:20

Luke 10:1-3

Acts 13:47

John 1:8

John 11:11

Matthew 24:14

A white vehicle row.

A very interesting and motivating service.

Thank you all for being there.
