Session:
"OES - What a Wonderful World"

Aim:
To encourage our Montana OES members to share their ideas,
friendship, fun, love and respect with OES members around the world.

Principle:
Rule of Life (18th Century aphorism, attributed to John Wesley)

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.

WGM's Scriptures:
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1
"......And God saw that it was good." Genesis 1:24

"And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water,
and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove, and alighting on him." Matthew 3:16

"Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my Life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever."
Psalm 23:6

WGP's Scripture:
Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!
It is like the precious oil upon the beard, running down upon the beard,
upon the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes!
It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life for evermore. Psalm 133
