July 2009 Pastor's Ponderings
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I recently conducted a funeral for a young man whose body was found high in the mountains after a winter storm. His name was David, and he was very much in love with the wonder of nature and life. He had a master’s degree in botany and had explored deep into the Florida swamps and wilderness. After leaving home ten years ago, he made his way westward and eventually to the mountains of Utah.

Church Mouse - June 2009
Hello to All My Friends in Christ,
A "Soup and Salad Buffet" dinner was held on May 16th, and we took time to honor the "Mothers" in the group. A poem was given out thanking them for being a Christian and showing us how to be; saying that we'll follow their example for all eternity.
Fall Festival
We still need to be working on a few things in preparation…
We are looking for craft items that are both completed and ready to be donated to the OPC craft booth, or we are looking for craft ideas that can be taught at a class.
We also are looking for someone who can handle the “outside” advertising - by that I mean someone who is willing to contact radio stations, newspapers, other churches (to put an announcement in their bulletins or newsletter), etc.
If you think you can help in any way or have any suggestions, please contact Melody Daugherty at 407-366-6816.
