Debbie, Jenna and Caleigh Hopper greeted worshippers and handed out the service of worship at Knox United Church on the Fifth Sunday of Easter, May 2. Rev. Tom Murray welcomed the congregation. Gord Folkard gave a report on the ham and scalloped potato supper, realizing a profit of $1,700 and thanked everyone for helping. Birthday greetings were extended to Gloria Dow, Elizabeth Procter, Jim McGee, Doreen Marks and Andrew Procter. Congratulations were extended to Brittany Haines on her accomplishments and upon receiving an award at the music festival in Stratford. Sympathy was extended to Kay Roberts and Howard and Alison and families in the passing of Rev. John Roberts. The opening hymn was, “We Meet You, O’ Christ” followed by the call to worship which was read responsively. “Come, O Spirit, Dwell Among Us” was the song of praise. The choir of mixed voices sang, “Shepherd Me, O Gentle Lamb” was accompanied by Elizabeth Procter. The children and youth went to the front pew for storytime. It was entitled “That All May Be One”. Rev. Tom Murray showed a picture of a doll which had originated in Russia and had been painted by hand which was popular for hundreds of years. The doll was collected by people all over theworld. Each doll had as many asthirty dolls inside. Jesus prayed withthe disciples the night he wasportrayed. He prayed that they mightall be one. We are all one and areChristians by our love. We have totrust Jesus and be one in Him,putting aside our differences. It is upto us to help the new generationscarry on and all be one. “Morning Has Broken” was the “Song for the Journey” and the children left for Sunday School on the last verse. Psalm 97 was read responsively. Glen Van Camp shared the scripture by reading from Acts 16: 16-40. “The Old Rugged Cross” was the Song of our Saviour. The gospel reading was taken from John 17: 20-26. Rev. Murray’s sermon was entitled “Golden Bull or Old Rugged Cross”. It has changed somewhat over the years but the message has remained the same. Our neighbours to the south call it the search for the “American Dream.” We Canadians want to do well and leave this world a better place. The heart of it is always about money, getting, keeping it, making more of it and never having enough of it. After all, money does bring a certain kind of freedom. We are all familiar with some of the most recent and most crass expressions of the “American Dream”. The Kingdom of God doesn’t celebrate profits. Jesus declared the Kingdom of God is among us. The Kingdom of God does not judge everyone and everything according to some economic value, it judges the world with justice and mercy. Before anything can become tangible, it must first become a reality in the mind of the dreamer. Only when the dream is real for one can it become real for all. Where do you want to kneel – before the golden bull ofWall Street or at the foot of the crossof Calvary?Megan Carter and Ken Proctertook up the offering which wasdedicated. The Prayer for themission was read responsively.“Lord, Thy Church on Earth isSeeking” was the song of Easter’sMission. After the sending forthwhich was read responsively, the sung blessing concluded the morning worship service. Elizabeth Procter was accompanist.
