WHAT A DAY OF REJOICING THAT WILL BE!!!! This is the sentiment of hymn writer Eliza Hewitt who wrote a long time ago...I have changed the truth from "When We All Get To Heaven What a Day of Rejoicing That Will Be;" to our coming together at ORPS and Chapel each Sunday. Imagine singing, praying, hearing great sermons, and having CANADIANS back!!! Imagine having a "full" service with friends and outstanding speakers/musicians. First Chapel was on November 7 with a family of singers and speaker brand new to us, you will love the program. Here are some who will be with us this season, many we know and love: Mark Williams; the Larrings; John Guest; The Samoans; Craig Hazen an apologist; Ron Cline; Robert S'chuler Jr; Ron Pearce; Huntley Brown; Steve Musto; Bill Rigg; Larry McCarthy; Bill Butterworth; I will speak a few Sundays. Hope you attend every week, knowing how blessed you will be. A true time of rejoicing. Invite a friend 8:50 am SHARP Moses gave us this truth in Deuteronomy 20:29. "The secret things belong to God." The older we get the truer that becomes. Many secrets won't be made known till we arrive in Heaven, even though we long for the answer now. Why did this happen? How much longer will I live? How will our kids and grandkids fare in days facing them? Many of us know Lupe, the hairdresser salon lady who has a shop at El Saguaro. She does an outstanding job which I joyfully affirm with my wife Karen after each appointment. Ladies, who haven't been to her yet, now is the time to begin!! Lupe has a son Cruz who is very sick and needs our prayers at this time.

Happy Times Are Here Again!!! Have you been in the mailroom/library at La Palma?

Did you notice the new carpet and sun shades or the sun shades in the ballroom or the new flooring and sun shades in the East Room? Well, if you haven't, go check it out. Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, " Good planning without good working is nothing/" Well, due to good working and good planning, ORPS is on schedule to have a Dog Park. Our Board of Directors started the good work over the summer. Our General Manager, Ed Vitrano, started the good planning with the direction from the board. The Board of Directors then voted to send the project to the Planning Committee to work with the General Manager. Letters were sent out to owners asking for their input. The Planning Committee held two Zoom meetings with the Ed prioritizing the owners thoughts and concerns. The Planning Committee then made a proposal to the Board of Directors along with the drawings from the General Manager. Please refer to the 18 October Board of Directors minutes to see the next steps. Hold on to your leashes.

Respectfully Submitted Michael Curley Planning Committee Chair

Cruz has an extremely serious disease called Schwachman - diamond syndrome. His mom took him to see Monsignor Lincoln at his church recently. Here are a couple pictures of him with the Priest. Please pray and when you see or write Lupe let her

know. Her only request is that her friends keep them in our prayers and that the Lord surely will answer. I look forward to being with each of you and know the Lord will give us a terrific season.
