This week on May 31, the ELCIC is celebrating 40 years of being the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada! 🍁
We were challenged by the national Church Bishop, Rev. Dr. Larry Kochendorfer, to participate in a Day of Action in our community. Here at ORLC, several ladies decided to bake some cookies in our church kitchen, and to collect some other goodies for The Purple Pantry in Penticton, a program of the local Elks Club.
We did some cookies tastings and they were all approved by our experts!
The Elks Lodge operate the Purple Pantry on Ellis Street, a food resource for individuals and families in need with the Motto: "Take What You Need, Leave What you can".

This week, over 20 guests had a great time on May 25 at our church hall! Our 14 Forgot-Me-Not Café volunteers dressed up in summer dresses for a high tea garden party. All had a lot of fun with Shirley Grant's chat as "Baba". Bonny played music, and the sing-along was great again.
This time, Isaiah Collins was present to take some photos and did a few interviews to help us promote this dementia friendly Community Café.
Thanks again to all who came and contributed to the success!

Today after our church service, we met at the patio of a local business overlooking Naramata Bench. We had coffee, fruit, and cake together and enjoyed our fellowship on Pentecost Sunday.
Thank you to all who came!

We had to say good bye to Debbie and Darryl who will move away soon. They have been amazing members of our church congregation and we are sad to say farewell. Thank you to both of you for sharing your skills, your humor, your wisdom, and your love for many years! May God be with you as you continue on with your life journey!
We miss you already!
