Happy 100th Birthday!!!

A very special lady had a birthday on November 6th 2023!

Nancy McDonoungh, Duane's mum, celebrated her 100th birthday. She is Erinn's grandma and the boys great grandma. 

Ready for greeting her drop by visitors at the rec room at Sun Pointe care home where she lives, Nancy was full of smiles. 

Her family had things just right in the room with a big 100th banner on the wall along with cake and punch on the table for the guests.

Pink balloons and pretty flowers were on the table too.

Many well wishers came to say Hello and wish her well for her new year. 

I am thinking she still might enjoy a visitor or two still.

Vegan Meal @Kelowna Church

 I was invited to a "end of the program" supper.

It was very nicely done with Jackie and friends making and serving plenty of tasty dishes.

Larry Shipowick lead out for the program and it was interesting.

I will put on a few photos for you to see what it was like.

Not sure when the next one will be but it is the new version of CHIP.













a song writer, poem maker, and crafter... he shared this poem he wrote with good emotion. 





She did it... all the meetings and then this lovely meal. 









Free loaf of bread at the end, tasty food, a lovely poem shared and Pastor Jim singing some good tunes. 

A very nice evening.

Sabbath at OCC November 18th 23





















 This was a cool crisp morning but people ventured out to take part in Sabbath Services at OCC.

Lori lead the SS lesson discussion.

Then Mission Spotlight and Praise Time.

Beverly and Liza had the Praise Time along with Vicki on piano and Joel and Todd accompanying.

Offer tory and Special Music was played by the musicians.

Children's story was given by Doug Lancaster who was pleased to be wearing his Christmas socks.

And who was also pleased that the church was decorated for winter now.

Liza read the scripture and had the opening prayer.

Then our guest Lori-Anne  share her thoughts from the Bible and her younger and older self.

After the closing Hymn and prayer people enjoyed a fellowship lunch downstairs.

Much visiting and eating took place and it was so nice to see grown ups chatting with the younger ones and good visiting with visitors too.

We very much missed our friends who could not join us this day but hope you are here next Sabbath.
