Nearly two years ago Don and I moved to Galena to be closer
to our daughters and their families. We
left behind a home, friends, church and community of 34 years. We wanted to have all that again in our new
home.
Once we were settled we began to look for a
church. We visited a couple before we
walked into Orange Friends. We were greeted exuberantly by Lois and Bob Jones,
who told us about the church, gave us a tour and invited us into their Sunday
school class. We immediately felt
welcome. The worship service that
followed was joyous; the message by Pastor David was from God. We were pretty sure after that visit we had
found our new church home. Since then we
are at home in Doyle’s Sunday school class.
We are fed by the teaching of Biblical principles in worship; we are in
community with other believers. Don has
found joy in serving as a trustee; I have found joy in providing meals to
shut-ins. Through OFC we have found an
avenue to follow Christ by being in mission to the people at the C.R.A.C.K.
House Ministries. This is a rewarding
experience for us and them.
In gratitude
for God’s abundance and for the hospitality this congregation offers we will
support the mission and message of Orange Friends Church. We will give of our time, our talents and our
treasure.
