Ken Procter greeted worshippersand handed out the service ofworship at Knox United Church onSunday, May 1. Rev. Tom Murraywelcomed the congregation onEaster Two Sunday. Connie Shiell reported on the recent ham and scalloped potato supper and thanked everyone who helped in any way. The congregation sang, “The Day of Resurrection” followed by the call to worship based on John 2: 19-31 which was read responsively. The children and youth went to the front of a time with Rev. Tom Murray which was based on, “Do You Believe It or Not?” He demonstrated with surprise bags and had each child take one. They all believed there was something good in the bag, which there was. If we believe good things happen. The senior choir sang a selection accompanied by Mary-Gwen Miltenburg on the piano. After the song of God’s response, “Spirit of God, Unleashed on Earth” was sung the children left for Sunday School. Rev. Tom Murray read from Acts of the Apostles 2: 14a, 22-32 from the message and the Easter Gospel IPeter: 3-9. God’s word to us for today was entitled, “Heart over Mind over Body!” Every so often another great cure-all rises from science, herbal medicines, or common sense. For some of us these and other wonder cures do seem to work wonders, we feel better, stronger and healthier. Then just about the time we’re satisfied with them, a new study comes out and announces – we were wrong. So why did we feel so much better? One of the biggest medicinal boosts we can give our bodies is the belief of our own mind and heart. The placebo effect, as it is know, can be as much as 90 per cent effective in healing. It’s the power of positive thinking. The power of negative thinking is just as prevalent and is “the nocebo effect.” A lot of the power to heal and the power to hurtis all in our head.Each of us should be transformingplacebo into a verb. Placeboing isusing both mind and heart resourcesto bring about the self-healing ability within our own bodies. Placebo transformed into a verb is our actions, our faith and our powers to release life. Why is it that we in the church are so ready to believe “nocebos”?The nocebo effect encourages usto believe the worst, accept theinevitable, and take all negatives asgenuine truths. Believing can makeyou well – literally. Faith is the way to health, joy and wholeness. Faith is the way to heart over mind over body. Faith is the way to a life that lives in belief. The song of spirits’ presence was “Come, O Spirit, Dwell Among Us.”Joyce Vincent and Joan Vincenttook up the offering which wasdedicated. After the Easter Prayerthe Song of Easter’s Triumph was“This Joyful Eastertide”. The benediction read responsively and the sung blessing concluded the morning worship service. Mary-Gwen Miltenberg accompanied all the hymns. M-T book donated Placebo vs. Nocebo debated at Knox United Sneaking a snack Three-year-old A.J. Senicar looked both ways, but it wasn’t before crossing the street. The precocious young child made a quick dash for the food table before the ham and scalloped potato dinner at the Belgrave Community Centre hosted by Knox United Church. Senicar snuck some applesauce during the set up for the dinner.
