This was followed by the singing of, Out of Deep Unordered Water. The gospel lesson was John 15: 1- 8, read by Adel Dodds. God’s word was entitled, Radical Love and shared by Kathy Douglas. She said there are a variety of ways to celebrate Mother’s Day. For some it could be a joyous day but for oth- ers it would not be so much fun. All walk in different paths but could walk together as a community. Parents are there to love, guide, teach, nourish and to grow healthy children. Without love and accept- ance it is hard to live in a loving world. Kathy’s work in the presbytery is to help foster and gain a sense of attachment with the youth. She shared some of the events she has been involved in such as, The Me to We event in Blyth, Bikes for Humanity and the retreat in Goderich. The church, country and the world should have a sense of deep attach- ment with youth, minister and each other. Joan and Neil Vincent took up the offering, which was followed by the singing of,Your Word, O God Needs Many Hands. After the Mother’s Day prayers, the Song of Praise was, How Sweet the Name.
