By Linda Campbell Call 357-2188 PEOPLE AROUNDBELGRAVE Halls to host Celtic Ireland Tour Aug. 26 to Sept. 13 On Sunday, Feb. 10, Allen and Kim Walker greeted worshippers and handed out the service of worship at Knox United Church. Rev. Tom Murray welcomed the congregation. Birthday greetings were extended to Debbie Hopper for Feb. 13. Jenna Hopper assisted by Rev. Tom Murray lit the Christ Candle. The congregation was entertained by the children’s chime choir playing “Open My Hearts” directed by Ann Clark. The call to worship was read responsively followed by the singing of “When Morning Gilds the Skies”. The senior choir sang, “Let There Be Love” accompanied by Ann Clark and then Rev. Murray shared with the children, the topic being “The Best is Yet to Come”. Rev. Murray read the Letters of Paul from Corinthians 3. After the congregation singing, “And Can it Be?”, the gospel lesson was taken from Luke 9: 18-43a. God’s Word was entitled, “From Facebook to Face Time!” One’s face is the blend of honour, reputation, responsibility, prestige and worthiness that one must maintain within all social interactions. To “lose face” is to believe in such a way that every aspect of one’s being, social, emotional, intellectual and spiritual is reduced, ruined and humiliated. On Facebook we create the image of ourselves we want others to see, edit out aspects of our lives that are embarrassing, uncomplimentary, or just too much in your face. We can post the most flattering profiles, fudge facts or write total fiction. We can have many facebook accounts. We do not have complete control over our Facebook face or wall. Others can leave messages, report gossip, or reveal secrets on our “wall” for everyone to see. Making “face time” with friends, family, colleagues and neighbours, takes away the digital filters that hide or protect us. In today’s gospel text the relationship between God and God’s people goes from Facebook to “face time”. The offering was taken up by Ken Procter and Doug Walker followed by the offering praise, offertory prayer and the prayer of thankfulness read responsively. The sacrament of holy communion was administered with members of session: John Campbell, Ken Procter, Don Procter, Roger Hopper and Allen Walker passing out the bread and juice. The closing hymn was “Open My Eyes, That I May See”, as we shared. The singing of “Go Now in Peace” concluded the morning worship service. Rev.

Nancy Folkard opened the meeting by welcoming everyone and reading a poem called “Getting Older”. Sheila Nixon led the worship and Ruth Gordon gave the treasurer’s report. Roll call was answered by eight members. In business the group discussed making turkey pies on Feb. 19 and 20. Sheila thanked Muriel Coultes for her years of dedicated service as secretary. The group is still looking for a replacement. Muriel outlined the program for World Day of Prayer on March 1 at 2 p.m. at the Knox United Church. Several ideas for fundraisers were discussed. Nancy Folkard presented a program called “Boost Your Brainpower”. Recent research has revealed that our brains continue to sprout new cells and connections between cells well into old age. Healthy eating habits are among factors that seem to slow or delay a decline in thinking ability. Physical activity is also emerging as a strong protector of brain function. Continuing to learn new things also seems to help keep the brain nimble. Remember, you are never too old to learn. Following the bene- diction and grace, lunch was served and a social time was enjoyed by all those present. CCCN_SPEAKUP_9 UCW seeks secretary
