Barb and Terry Richmond. Ushering
were Nicole Kerr, Lori Brooks,Terry
Richmond and Emily Phillips. Fred
Hakkers ran the power point.
The call to worship was followed
by the first hymn, Jesus Loves Me
and the Prayer of Approach. The
scripture reading was John 3: 16-17.
The Martin sisters were asked to
come and pour the water into the
baptism font and the children
gathered around the font while the
water was blessed. They were asked
to return to their seats for baptism.
The babies were introduced to the
congregation. They were Madison
Olivia Montgomery, daughter of
Ryan and Jessica Montgomery and
Addison Arletta Martin, daughter of
Brett and Leanne (Haggitt) Martin.
Rev. Clark introduced each of the
baby girls to the congregation after
baptizing them.
The choir sang a special song, It’s
A Wonderful World, for Leanne
(former member of the choir) and
the babies.
The children went downstairs for
the time of worship and fellowship.
The second scripture was from
Luke 4: 1-13.
Rev. Clark’s message to the adults
was, Lust/Love, A Baby Shall Show
the Way. Lust is when people want tocontrol the people around them allthe time. Lust is about power.Jesus was tempted by the Devil toturn the stone into bread but He saidno. People dig big holes in theground to make cheap power butthey forget the cost of what that lustdoes to the earth.Jesus said not to the Devil when
offered all the kingdoms in the land.
Jesus said he would love God.
In the scripture the Devil tested
Jesus the third time by asking Him to
jump off the top of the temple and
the angels would catch Him. Jesussaid no, He would not test God inthat way.Love is the answer to Lust.The choir anthem was, Love’s OldSweet Song.The Prayer of Confession wasfollowed by the next hymn, ComeLet Us Sing of a Wonderful Love.The offering was received
followed by the Prayers for the
World and the singing of The Lord’s
Prayer.
The last hymn was, It Only Takes
a Spark.
Jessica Sparling of Blyth is a
freshman at Cornell University
studying Human Biology. After an
invitation to try-out for one of the
spots available for “walk-on”
athletes, she has become a member
of the Cornell Division 1 Crew
Team.
Sparling was a successful high
school and club athlete in other
sports, but she had never rowed until
attending Cornell.
Crew is the only Cornell sports
program that permits non-recruited
athletes to compete for a place on
the roster. And all but a handful of
the 171 members of the men’s and
women’s crew teams are recruits
from North America and Europe; the
rest are walk-ons like Sparling.
The team trains two to three hours
each day, six days a week, and after
weeks of practice, Sparling earned a
seat in the first major regatta of the
fall season, the Princeton Chase at
Princeton University on Oct. 25.
Sparling rows in an eight-person
boat in the Novice (Freshman)
Division, and her boat finished
eighth of 18 schools. Cornell had 34
boats row in the Chase, with 15
placing in the top 10.
The final event of the fall season
was the Syracuse Invitational at
Syracuse University held on Oct. 31.
Sparling’s Novice-8 finished in first
place.
During the winter, the team will
continue to practise at indoor
facilities on the Cornell campus and
at a training camp in Florida in
preparation for the spring season.
