Last Sabbath there was a conference wide Men's Retreat.
Not knowing about it I stopped in, greeted a few men and went inside to use the washroom.
On returning outdoors I was some what out numbered and asked if I was one of the cooks who got high marks.
A man walked towards me and after saying a pleasant "hello" looked at me and said I know you don't I? I was sure he did and he gave me a warm hug.
It was Keith Corbett.
Walking back to my vehicle I was met with a young dentist who had asked beside me. We engaged in a nice conversation and then was mistak ..read more

On Friday, April 12th , there was a service for Lenore Linda Duncan.
It shocked her family and everyone who heard about Lenore and saddened everyone too.
Lenore was a very big driving force behind many committees, work with Duncan Logging and other get togethers.
She liked to include people and enjoyed serving them meals at her home.
We are sad to feel the loss of her presence among us now but long for the day when we all meet again with Jesus.  ..read more

Walking in to the church was so nice as Bonnie was playing the piano and it sounded so welcoming of the Sabbath.
The second lesson of the next quarter was The War Behind All Wars. It is study based on Revelation.
The discussion was helpful for learning and understanding more about the struggle in Heaven, a surprising place to find a war.
It is great to see people come into the sanctuary and join in.
Bonnie told us about the Sprouting Class on the 21st. Come join in and enjoy a little bite at the end too.
Bonnie has played the piano for OCC for so many years and we sure d ..read more

Started with Sabbath School lesson discussion.
Blessed is He who Comes in the Name of the Lord was the lesson title for week 9 in this quarter.
For interest and because all people do not learn by the same methods I had some people come to the front to draw a simple illustration of what Jesus is for us.
Thank you to Arnie and Doug and Dexter for helping with the white board.
Loretta went first followed by me then Lori and Bridgenna and Vicki.
It is amazing how simple drawings stick in our minds and help us remember.
Jesus is our Shepherd
Jesus is our Fortress ..read more

Bridgenna and Dexter enjoyed a Christmas gift given to them.
They each picked out a plain mug to paint.
They put a lot of thought into what they would do with the plain white mugs.
Here are the results.
Can you figure out whose this one is?
So pretty.
They sure did great.  ..read more

Please remember at this week and month of ❤️ to look for someone who may feel not part of the group or sad or lonely and share your visit a song or a cookie.
Arnie and Pastor Josue visited my dad, Walter, when I was away and last evening when I was there with him he told me 3 times about it. He was so happy.
Even in his sleepy state it meant an awful lot to him as he c ..read more
