OCC Aurora Processing Center: We are very excited to once again travel to Aurora to work at the Samaritan’s Purse Processing Center. It was so informative and so much fun last year. It’s a chance to see the next step in how our boxes are prepared for their trip around the world spreading the Gospel. We’ll be going as a group. If you can join us, please contact Cheryl Allen. We’d love to have you with us!
Thank You: Thank You All for continued prayers, cards and letters, visits, food, telephone calls, and other acts of kindness. The birthday cards were especially thoughtful – they made my birthday seem very special! It is wonderful to be a part of the Family of God! Thanks, Judy Oosterhoff
Thank You: We would like to thank the congregation for all that made our final pre-retirement days so memorable. Our last get-togethers with the WOW ladies was bee-utiful, and the pizza dinner for King’s Daughters was delightful. Thank you to the Praise Team for the framed pic of our group. That was a sweet gift. Thank you, too for all the tremendous Retirement dinner we shared. The decorations, the meal itself, the leftovers, and all of those who helped to plan it, and your cards, hugs, and wishes, made our final Sunday a sweet memory we will always cherish. We love our church family, and the time we shared with you. May God richly bless you in years to come! -Pastor Randy and Gail
