Nancy PEOPLE AROUND BELGRAVE By Linda Campbell Call 357-2188 Connie and worshippers the bulletins Church on Don Shiell greeted and handed out at Knox United Sunday, Dec. 4, Jardin mentioned that the items Envelope Sunday to support the collected had been taken in for the Christmas Bureau. We sang "Happy Birthday" to Brian's sister Brenda. After the call to worship read responsively, the choir sang, directed by Kae MacKendrie, the new organist and choir director. Mackenzie Wightman accompanied on the piano for the children's hymn, "Jesus Our Brother". The children gathered in the front pew for story time. Brian asked the children what peace meant to them. The meaning of peace: calm, stillness, quiet, repose, freedom from disturbance, war or hostilities. The special meal for Communion Sunday symbolizes the body and blood of Jesus. When we have Jesus in our hearts, we really feel the peace. After prayer, the children adjourned to Sunday school. Kendra Robinson read scripture from Isaiah 11 verses 1-10, Psalm 72 read responsively with the congregation and Romans 15 verses 4-13. We experience the presence of God in our world and all the blessings that God gives us. What is different today than it was in the past? Are we different than worshippers years ago? With all the technology times have changed. We should all be equal. God knows the world is full of corruption because it is being run by the citizens. Peace of Christ is always with us. "On Jordan's Banks" was the hymn of response. Nancy Jardin reported on the minute for the missions. Larry Harper and Doug Walker took up the offering, which was dedicated. Kae sang a selection while the offering was collected. The closing hymn "Love, Divine, All Loves Excelling", benediction and blessing and "Go Now in Peace" concluded the morning worship service.
