Baby Sophia's Delivery Day

About 3 1/2 weeks ago I had the pleasure of being at Lisa's 4th and final birth. I would have posted these pictures sooner buy my HP Laptop that I use to blog died and so I couldn't get to my pictures until now.

Lisa went in for an induction around 11pm on Thursday night. I arrived around 1 am. I brought my pillow and sleeping bag and pretty much set up my bed when I got there and we all headed to sleep.

Around 5:30am her water broke and then things started rolling.

In the delivery room was Kenmeand then arriving around 8am was Kathleen.Ken was her rock and never left her side.
Lisa normally only has to push about 20 minutes and the baby comes out but this time it was different she had pushed for 2 hours and nothing was happening. So, the doctor decided she better have a C-Section. Lisa was not too happy about this but she knew it was best for the baby.Here is Ken getting on all his "gear"They were ready to head to the operating room.Sophia Grace came into this world totally perfect and beautiful!Kaitlyn the proud big sister.

OHOP's Central Florida Compassion Center Thanksgiving Outreach-Part 1

This past Thursday night our missions base Compassion Center hosted a FREE Thanksgiving Dinner for the Homeless and Needy of our community.We are so excited to see so many people coming to the free dinnerThe food was prepared by many of our missions base members, other churches and also Restaurants and grocery stores. We had so many of our OHOP family and other churches come to volunteer for this outreach.We had the people seat at the tables and then our volunteers served them the dinner.The food was so good and everyone seemed to really enjoy the hot meal.

Carlos, Ken and George gave away many door prizes that were donated by differnt people. All of the prizes were gift cards to different places.

The first winner!This guy was so happy he kissed George on the forehead LOLA happy winner!

The Compassion Center is always looking for donations. This time of year we really need blankets, coats, jackets, gloves, sweathers, mittens, scarves and all types of warm clothes. We had one of our missions base members talk to her employer and he gave her permission to let her fellow employees know that the CFCC needed blankets for the homeless. Well, they came through with TONS of blankets which we were able to give out that night. A cold front came through Florida so it was chilly and the blankets were greatly appreciated.

We also had bread donated by Publix Grocery stores and eggs by many OHOP members and other churches in and around Central Florida. We were able to give each family bread and eggs too.

Each family left with a full stomach, a blanket, a carton of eggs and bread!
