Ushering were Nancy Hakkers,Hope Button and Terry Richmond.Running the Power Point was FredHakkers. Floyd Herman was musicdirector.David Onn welcomed everyone tochurch in the absence of Rev. GaryClark.The UCW meeting is Thursday,Feb. 25. The choir sang the Introit, He, featuring Liz Herman. Kathy Douglas, Rev. Clark’s partner asked the children to help her get to the back of the church. Kathy tried to get to the back by walking into the pews. Some of the suggestions were that she could go under but there would be too many feet. One of the children showed her the centre aisle. She told them people often need help from other people. If they talk to others and listen to what they say it will help them. Talking to God is another way to solve problems. The choir and congregation sang and signed the hymn, I Know Your Light. Lori Brooks read the scripturefrom Luke 5: 1-11.The choir sang an anthem,Somebody Bigger Than You and I.Jesus gave the fishermen somesimple advance in the scriptures.This is what Jesus is tellingChristians to try somethingdifferent.Parenting today is not an easy task but if something isn’t working, try something new. Often teenagers listen to their peers whether they are right or wrong. They do not get the undying love from their peers as they would get from their parents. Walking into deep water takes faith and God can help if people just listen. The church can walk alongside teenagers and help them find a path to go. The final hymn was, I The Lord of Sea and Sky.
