Did you know— that items to appear in a Sunday bulletin must be submitted to the church

office by the Monday prior to the Sunday suggested? When using email, send to office@ocec.net Subject Line: Bulletin Announcement

that missionaries, Wayne & Sherry Schock thank the OCEC family for the mission home. They feel so blessed and are grateful for this home away from home.

Mt. Pleasant Elementary is located two blocks south of our church. Many of their children are provided with a breakfast each weekday morning before their studies begin. Teachers and administrators within our school system are finding that some children leave their classes on Friday afternoon and return on Monday morning having had no real substantial meal throughout the weekend. They have confidentially identified those children in need and have been in contact with their parent/guardian.

OCEC wants to help stop hunger at Mt. Pleasant and become Backpack Buddies to these children each week. We are gathering the requested foods and/or monetary donations. Monetary donations can be made by using a giving envelope and marked Backpack Buddies.

Remember to keep the items below on your regular shopping list and bring your donations to our food barrel.

Canned Soups (“pop tops“ are preferred, but do not have to be ready to eat from the can) Canned Chilis Beef-a-Ronis Easy Macs (regular macaroni & cheese will not work as additional ingredients are needed) Canned or Packaged Fruits Cheese & Crackers, Granola Bars, other Healthy Snacks Juice Boxes or Juice Pouches

These foods have been determined through the ease of use and are also kid-friendly products.

Our food collection barrel is located in the Fellowship Center or Lobby. Our foods will be assembled, prepared and delivered so that individual weekend food supplies can be confidentially put into a child’s backpack. Plastic grocery bags are also needed. Thank you for leaving the foods you bring in the bags you provide.

Helpers will be needed once we have foods collected. For more information, please contact Carole Datria at 503 632-8381.

Backpack Buddies OCEC helps stop hunger at Mt. Pleasant Elementary!

Date Night April 9th The Journey of a Lifetime – A Lifetime of Journey

Bruce and Jan will share the joys and struggles of ministry and marriage. You will be entertained, enlightened and enriched by their journey of journeys.

Their work in Peru with Wycliffe Bible Translators resulted in the New Testament being translated into the Huamalíes Quecha language. Now based in Oregon City, Bruce and Jan are placing finishing touches on a whole Bible translation for a related Quechua language. College sweethearts, they celebrate 42 years of marriage on June 22nd. They have 3 children and 7 grandchildren.

Thank the Lord for the 19 children who made decisions to become members

of God’s family through faith in Jesus at the SWAT Resurrection Party last Wednesday evening. Pray that they will grow and remain in their faith.

Pray for those who are separated from family at this time of year. Pray

especially for military families. Ask God to reveal His love to your family and friends. Ask God to help you

be the hands, feet and voice of Jesus to them. Pray for President Obama, his family, congressional leaders and members of

the courts to recognize our national need for God and to pray for His help. Pray for Dee Wanvig. She along with others are suffering from chronic
