Sabbath Nov 2nd

What happened today?

Do you remember?

Well, here is a little reminder.

Doug leading the discussion for the Bible Study 

Looking up texts in the Bible

Dave inviting all to come out this evening for the 2nd Annual Incredible Waterfront Adventure Race

Jerrie Lou shares the story this morning. 

She gives out quilt squares to each child.  They sure do seem to like that. 

What a pretty quilt. 

Homemade quilts in the quilt stand. 

A butterfly!!

Who enjoys it more.. the children or the adults. 

Keith shares "his" written Bible story with us.  It was good to hear. 

We can recognise God's leading in our lives too through the stories in the Bible.
Thank you for sharing, Keith. 

The 2nd Annual Incredible Waterfront Adventure Race

Dave and Karen's home was a warm and busy place on Saturday evening, the 2nd of November.

Church family and friends gathered to start the 2nd Annual Incredible Waterfront Adventure Race.

It was great to have the children involved as well as their parents and grandparents and all else inbetween.

Thank you Dave and Karen for making the evening so interesting and inclusive.

The pot of chili is inviting everyone back after the race.  

Who will win this lovely prize? 

The clip boards all ready for each time to take. 

First team to make it to where my friend and I were waiting.  They only had to answer three questions correctly to get a green marked envelope.  Red if they got any of them wrong. 

The green and the red. 

One question is correct. 

Another group gives us their answers. 

My friend and helper for the evening. 

we had to drink something to sit there and wait for sooooooooooooo loooooooooooooong before the groups arrived. 

Dave explains

Checking and rechecking their answers. 

The only group the got all three questions correct. 

Someone really wanted to have the right answers. 

Back at the home... enjoying the munchies. 

Their team got something!!

He heard who the winners were and approves. 

Getting the big prize!!!

Fun for all.

Looking forward to next autumn's race.

Oct 26th at OCC with visitors

This Sabbath was one of people helping out at the last minute it seems.

Thank you for Tammy taking the SS for this morning.  What a great thing to have someone willing to do extra after their own other duties.

Pastor Josue also stepped in and lead in the upstairs lesson Bible lesson class as something unexpected called away the one who was planning to lead.

Thank you again for stepping in at the last minute, Pastor.

For the Praise and Service time Beverly took some photos so that the ones of us who were away could have a peek and see what took place.

Lets have a look now...

OCS students come to OCC.

Praise Time leaders - teacher and students. 

Looks like a full church this morning. 

Ms Swain tells the Children's story.

Now I am curious what it was about... any one can share with us. 

Ready to sing.

Lovely to see these students share their music.

Thank you for coming to share with everyone at OCC today.

Sabbath at OCC

Vicki showed a lovely video about geese flying in formation and helping break the way for the rest to follow.  It told of more and was very thought provoking. 

She invited Dave to play the banjo and it sounded very nice.  It would be great to hear him again. 

In the Younger Kid's Korner the leader was introducing wonderful animals that live in the ocean. 

The sand and sea shells are so much fun. 

The children watch carefully as teacher shows them a star inside of each apple and then gives them a tiny taste. 

Only A Boy Named David... 

So many children to hear the story this Sabbath. 

Bright and cheery bulletin

Giving the children's offering to the deacon. 

Beautiful table decorations. 

Walter had his 95 th birthday at the beginning of October but we enjoyed singing to him and several other birthday people in October and then ate spice cake. 

So nice for Great Grandpa to have little A with him at OCC

Grama is so happy to have her little guy here in her arms. 

Waiting for the delicious foods for our vegetarian buffet.
