The parents made their promises
to bring the children up and to guide
them in their everyday life. The
congregation also pledged to help in
the raising of these children. 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.
The parents of the children
baptized were asked to stay if they
wished for pictures and everyone
was invited for lunch, sandwiches,
salad and dessert hosted by the
UCW with the proceeds going
towards the air conditioning of the
auditorium.

farms and farm families, to urban
MPPs, their staff and their families.
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
