The babies were baptized and Rev. Clark walked each child up and down the aisle to introduce them to the congregation. The choir sang the hymn, “You are Loved” naming each child in the hymn. The next hymn was, “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus”. Emily Meier read the scripture from John 10: 11- 18. The choir sang the anthem, “What a Wonderful World”. Rev. Clark decided that as the hour was getting late that he would forego his message to the adults for this week. The offering was received followed by the offering hymn, “What Can I Do”, (The ladies of the congregation singing the first and the men singing the echo of the hymn), the offertory prayer, the prayers for the world and people, silent prayer and the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn was “Jesus Loves Me” followed by the commissioning and benediction.

We’ve offered to work within an MPP’s schedule to arrange for a visit to a farm of their choice within one hour of their riding. It is our hope that an on-farm experience will provide a new perspective on agriculture for policy makers with no direct link to agriculture. We also hope they’ll have some fun – and make valuable, lasting connections around food and farming. The OFA is committed to advocating on our members’ behalf on issues that are important to Ontario agriculture. We look forward to addressing key issues directly, through our regular government relations avenues, and indirectly, by offering richer and stronger context for participants from both the farm and the legislature. OFA hopes to connect politicians to farmers
