Hello Everyone!

Even a blog needs to rest now and again, and so I say goodbye for a while.  Perhaps we will have the opportunity to publish now and again in the next month, perhaps not.  If not then we will return in August - may God bless you!

I have corrected the time for Mariposa Ministry - it is at 3 oclock on Sundays, not at 2.

In the meantime - do you know our official church website has had an amazing transformation?  Check it out by clicking here www.osoyooschurch.ca

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Shoe Boxes! 

Yes, we are encouraging you to get started to fill shoeboxes for Samaritan's Purse Operation Shoebox.

These boxes are filled with more than just the good things you fill them with - they are also filled with HOPE, LOVE & COMPASSION and even better, many children are shared the story of salvation and come to know the Lord - the most important and life-changing gift of all.  Bring your boxes into church with you when they are filled.  Let us know if you have any questions. 

May God bless you richly this week!
