Pathfinder and Adventurer Sabbath at OCC ~ April 8th 2017

We were so happy to have the Adventurer Club and the Pathfinder Club come to OCC today and have the service for us.

Have a look at what they did and how nice they looked in their uniforms.

Thank you to the leaders and parents who brought their children for this special day.

We enjoyed a lovely fellowship meal together after the service and were thankful for all the delicious food supplied by everyone.

Sabbath, March 18th 2017

Liza interviewed Roland for Sabbath School this Sabbath and we found out what volunteers like Roland and Gerry and Jim do when they go to the soup kitchen.

Roland  with Liza asking him questions about the Soup Kitchen volunteer work. 

Jerrie Lou had the children's story and shared about eagles. 

So nice that Don had help from this young man.  He did such a great job of the scripture text reading. 

Tulips are great.  I think a lot of us agree. 

Kids Corner story time. 

So nice to have two violinists playing along with the trombonists. 

Emily brings such lovely reflective music for us to enjoy during our church service.

We will remember Sylvia in love as does her family.  

Today at OCC

Dave led out in a SS discussion about where we are and where we would like to be.

Many people took part in it and we learned we want to share more and understand others more and be thankful for the church family we have.

The children had interesting Sabbath School classes.

Learning by seeing and drawing slices of God's creatures. 

It was very fascinating for the children to see through the microscopes. 

Bible story time. 

This young man took his place at the piano today and we enjoyed hearing his music and singing to it.  Thank you so much. 

Singing the children's song... we all enjoy the actions. 

Jerrie Lou introduced us to Reggie for the children's story.  What a cute little one she is. 

Thank you very much for coming to OCC and singing for our special music.  We enjoyed it. 

Our speaker today.  Thank you Randy for the message.   Many notes were taken and Bible verses written down.
