Steve Coultes gave a report on Haiti. The call to worship was read responsively. Praise with Joy the World’s Creator was the song of praise. Rev. Murray read a letter and shared a few thoughts on the Moderator’s Message on climate change. The senior choir sang, My Song to the Lord, accompanied by Elizabeth Procter. The children and youth gathered in the front pew for story time. Rev. Murray had the children pre- tend they were robots and becauserobots have no joints they couldn’tbend their arms or legs. Rev. Murraybrought treats for each one of thembut they helped to feed each other. It’s all about helping to feed the world and all are part of the same body, said Rev. Murray. The Songs for the Journey was, The Earth and All Who Breathe. The children adjourned to Sunday school after the last verse. Scripture was Psalm 19 and Luke 4: 14-21. Hope of the World was sang. The gospel reading was 1 Corinthians 12: 12-31. The message was based on this. Christ is like a single body, which has many parts. In the same way Christians were baptized into the one body by the same spirit. God designed each and every part of the body. In the church God has put all in place to make it a complete body just as he did with people, said Rev.Murray. In the kingdom of God thereare no winners or losers, they are allchildren of God having a significantpart in the church. God’s word to the congregation this day was entitled, The Four Marks of Impending Failure. These are when nobody takes you for granted, when everyone says nice things to you, when you are not lonely in the church and when you’re living a carefree life. Doug Walker and Don Schiell col- lected the offering which was dedi- cated. The closing hymn was, Here I Am Lord. All of the hymns were accompa- nied by Mrs. Procter. After the worship, lunch with the young people seeking confirmation was held in the church basement. Call Barbara Anderson at 519- 357-3317 to place an order for meat pies.
