Pastor Joseph has a life beyond our Church and his job is needing his attention at this time so as much as he would have liked to post a "Good Word" here this week he's apologising and hopes to post again soon.  He thanks you for your patience! 

In the stead, we have both sermons from Pastor Joseph and Pastor Jason Weibe as follows:

Pastor Joseph - The Struggle (click on triangle to play sermon)

Pastor Jason - God in the Valley

You can also visit Elim Tabernacle online at:

A WINNER!  (drum roll, please!)  The winner of The Faith Dare by Debbie Alsdorf is Sheryl P.  Congrats Sheryl! 

And, as we are only two posts away from our 100th blog post at OCC Women Online - (posts meaning how many times we have put information on this blog and updated it) we have another book giveaway for this coming week. 

Product Description

WARNING: This is not just another book on evangelism. It's a simple idea of evangelism through friendship first, and the opportunities to share your faith that follow. It will bring friendships you already have to a new levels, and create opportunities for new, authentic friendships with those you will eventually meet. OUT: Evangelism as sales pitch, as conquest, as warfare, as ultimatum, as threat, as proof, as argument, as entertainment, as show, as monologue, as something you have to do. IN: Disciple-making as conversation, as friendship, as influence, as invitation, as companionship, as challenge, as opportunity, as conversation, as dance, as something you get to do. You're more ready for this than you realize, and so are your friends!
