The call to worship was followed by the prayer of approach and confession, the assurance of pardon and the first hymn, Holy, Holy, Holy. The first scripture lesson was Daniel 3: 13-29. The children came to the front for their story time. Rev. Gary Clark explained the scripture reading to them, how King Nebuchadnezzar had Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego thrown into a fire because they would not worship the way the King wanted. When God protected them from the fiery furnace the King believed that their God would protect them. The children said a prayer and sang the song Deep and Wide. Alley Glousher carried the lit candle downstairs for their time of worship. The choir sang the anthem, We are The One. The second scripture reading was Numbers 13: 17-29. Rev. Clark’s message for theadults was Are We a WelcomingChurch? Many people in today’sworld want to be like KingNebuchadnezzar and want everyone to do things their way, he said. Many are afraid they will be found out that they arenot what they seem. God doesn’t always protect from all evil but God alone can take people through the fiery furnaces. God reclaims the authority for life and death. Many people consider Canada a land of milk and honey, Rev. Clark said. We can be a welcoming country and let people live in our country and retain their ways of worship. The next hymn, Be Still My Soul was sung. The last hymn was, God Be With You ’til We Meet Again.
