Rev. Pat Cook and her husband,Bob, lit the Christ candle in theAdvent wreath at LondesboroughUnited Church during the ChristmasEve service. That white candle in thecentre of the wreath signifies thatChrist is the centre of our lives. His
Christmas birth tells the world that
we are greatly loved by God. His
birth encourages Christians to share
with others the presents of life –
love, hope, peace, joy, kindness and
understanding.
Thought-provoking meditations
were supported with music and
scripture readings.
Along with a variety of carols
sung by the entire congregation were
musical numbers by the senior choir.
What Child Is This? was sung the
entire choir. The ladies offered
Gentle Mary Laid Her Child and themen of the choir sang, There’s a Starin the East. A solo by John Jewittfeatured Star of the East.Scripture readings detailing theevents surrounding that firstChristmas were given by Shelby
Radford, Tonya Drost, Angelika
Sturzenegger and Teresa Atkinson.
Costumed members of the
Sunday school silently enacted the
story on the dias at the front of the
sanctuary.
The first meditation spoke of the
anticipation experienced in the
weeks leading up to His coming at
Christmas. The question was asked,
“Who do the children think He is?”
Adults, too, are looking to/wanting
the coming of Christ and they must
instill in children the wonder and
mystery of the Christian event, Rev.Pat said.The world bustles with things todo at Christmas. Bethlehem, too,was a bustling place the night Marylaid her first-born in the clean strawof a manger. Everyone searches for
the perfect gift at Christmas. Christ’s
birth was God’s perfect gift to the
world.
Christians had longed for/dreamed
of the coming of a saviour for
centuries. That lowly infant child
was a dream come true. In that child
all who draw near will find a home.
The whole world can rejoice in the
birth. The last meditation told how
into our imperfect world came
perfection in a child. He still lives in
the world fulfilling the promise of
Christmas.
In her benediction Rev. Cooksuggested congregants follow theChristmas star to find faith, havehope and live love.Poinsettias on the memorial standsfor this special service had beenplaced by the family of the late Joy
Penfound in her memory.
The official board of
Londesborough United will meet on
Tuesday, Jan. 15 beginning at 7:30
p.m. Minutes of the last meeting are
now available from the table in the
narthex.
Anyone with a report for the
church annual report is asked to
submit it to the office by Jan. 13.
The January meeting of the
Londesborough UCW will begin
with dessert at 7:30 p.m. on Monday,
Jan. 21.
