Hamilton Reception - January 25, 2012
On Wednesday evening, January 25, 2012, OC Naz said farewell to Pastor Lyle, Dona and Malena with a dessert reception. Pastor Lyle and his family accepted the call to OC Naz six years ago. Under Pastor Lyle's leadership during those six years, the youth group grew from just three teens to over 90! He initiated the "Big Wednesday" ministry where teens come to the church after school each Wednesday to do homework, play games, eat dinner and then have a time of worship and Bible teaching. This ministry has been a huge success. Pastor Lyle and Dona will be greatly missed. We wish them the best as they travel to Arizona to accept their new call to ministry there.

We're not saying "good bye" ... we are saying "see you later"!
