What a blessing for us to hear Alne and Carrie once again! Each of these ladies came prepared with a banquet. They packed a lot of spiritual food in our two-day retreat, and we are so glad for those who came to partake of this feast. Scriptures tells us that God's Word does not return empty. Those who hear are filled. We felt that in a very tangible way during these two days. God knew what we needed to hear. He knows what we have to work on ahead, so He has prepared the path and all we need to continue on.

It was lovely to fellowship, to pray together, to sing God's truths with those of you who came. The retreat is the highlight of the year for our OA team. We look forward to listening to God's Word and to seeing first hand His work in all of us. It is truly a time of refreshment that we love sharing.
Some of you could not make it due to the various illnesses going around at this time of the year. Some of you had others engagements for this time. But we know that even in that God works in all of us for good. Just know we prayed for you. We will continue to pray. May the Lord find us faithful. May He help us to press on to maturity in Christ.
Below are some highlights of our time together registered by our own and only Meredith Battles:
