HOLY WEEK RECAP:

Thank you, Choir, for

your prayer and par-

ticipation in Holy

Week observances

and for your leader-

ship in our Palm Sun-

day and Resurrection

Sunday services. The

Palm Sunday drum-

infused palm march

that you helped lead

was exciting! The

Good Friday service

was meaningful and

well-attended. For

Resurrection Sunday,

many people (approx.

50 cars) parked at

Gardiner, which took

pressure off of

OCEC’s parking lot.

Also, the crowds were

well-distributed among

the services, so that

each service was full,

but none were over-

crowded. Here are

some attendance fig-

ures:

Total sanctuary

attendance: 939

Total Sunday School

attendance: 399 (includes Friendship

Co., Klub Jesus &

hallway)

Total attendance in

the building: 1338

GOSPEL SING 2010: Get your toe warmed

up and ready for tap-

ping! A beloved tradi-

year is scheduled for

Sunday, May 17 at

6pm. Thank you for

your input in selecting

some of the songs for

our concert. Using your

top 7 “oldies” choices

and adding a few newer

titles, here is a prelimi-

nary song list for Gospel

To this list, we’ll also

encourage but not re-

quire memorization for

this concert. How about

if we wear bright, solid

colors for our perform-

ance attire? Also, I’d

like to explore the pos-

sibility of taking selec-

tions from this concert

to the Mission (City

Team). What do you

say?
