We also learned of the death of former Minister of Music, Mr. Charlie Bryant. Charlie led our music for about 4 years during the early 2000s. Charlie was known for his loving spirit, energy, and passion for ministering through music. He always led our music with such charisma and intentionality. Please pray for his family during this time!

With sorrow, but great hope in Jesus, we report the death of longtime Orrville pastor, Dr. Wendell R. Bannister. He was our pastor from 1982-2015. He will be remembered as a wonderfully attentive shepherd of this flock who truly cared for his people, and as a great servant of Christ who helped point many people to Jesus. We send condolences to his family and ask you to pray for them during this time! During this time, remember this great passage Dr. Bannister shared at many home-goings: I Thessalonians 4:13-18.

Merry Christmas!

It’s VBS season!! Did you know that Orrville had one of the first and, at one time, one of the largest Vacation Bible Schools in the state? Frances Kitching was the first and longest serving director. At first, her title was actually “Principal” according to our written history with the move to “Director” made after a few years. Many people came to know Jesus at VBS. What are your favorite memories of Orrville VBS or VBS in general? Best of wishes to all churches who are holding Vacation Bible Schools this summer.

On this day, we pause to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our great country. Reflect as you listen to “Taps” mixed with “Amazing Grace” as was played in May 2022. It was tradition that on the Sunday closest to Memorial Day we did our pledges to the American Flag, Christian Flag, and Bible, and that we also paused for “Taps.” Our choir would usually sing a solemn anthem such as “Blades of Grass” or “Eternal Father, Strong to Save.”

We always had such beautiful Christmas decorations. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
