birthday greetings to Muriel Coultes
celebrating her 75th birthday.
Saturday was a special day for
Muriel Coultes. She and Bill cele-
brated in the afternoon at the
Tommy Hunter show in Blyth and
dinner out.
Sunday was a dinner out at noon
with all five daughters and their hus-
bands. They enjoyed a Chinese
smorgasbord in Listowel.
Then it was back to their home
where the grandchildren joined
them. Bill was able to visit with
everyone too.
He is still a patient in Wingham
and District Hospital.

extended to Steve Coultes, Barbara
Anderson, Lindsay Schiell on her
13th birthday, Catherine Coultes cel-
ebrating her ninth birthday and
Muriel Coultes receiving best wish-
es on her 75th birthday.
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.
