Smile!
There is nothing that enthusiasm and a great smile can’t fix,
so guest speaker Melissa Snyders tried it out on the Huron
County Beef Producers, who have been facing tough times
and it seemed to work. Snyders had the room, full of most-
ly men, blowing bubbles, hugging themselves, jumping up
and down, shouting, pumping their fists and in Ron
Wooddisse’s case, wearing a silly hat. (Shawn Loughlin photo)

Bruce Whitmore greeted worship-pers at Knox United Church onSunday, Jan. 20. Mr. Whitmore wel-comed the congregation on a snowystormy Sunday followed by the
singing of Stand Up, Stand Up for
Jesus, and Heaven Came Down,
accompanied by Elizabeth Procter.
The Call to Worship and the
Words of Assurance were read in
unison and the Prayer of Invocation
and the Prayer of Confession were
read responsively.
The children’s hymn was Jesus,
Friend of Little Children. The chil-dren sat in the front pew for storytime.Mr. Whitmore told the childrenthat there are two sides to water;
there are good things and bad things.
He asked the children what they
might be. We drink water, wash with
it, wash clothes and dishes, in the
summer we swim in it, and tears can
be for happiness or sadness.
In the winter water becomes snow
and ice. Water causes floods which
damage things and you could drown
in water. We also use water in church tobaptize and to welcome a baby intochurch.The children adjourned to Sunday
school.
The scripture lesson was taken
from John 1: 29-42 which told of the
baptism of Jesus. After the respon-
sive Psalm 40 (A Song of Praise) In
Christ. There is no East or West, was
sung. Mr. Whitmore’s message was
baptism by Fire. It revolved around
Rosa Parks who was just an ordinary
woman, baptized by fire. Along with
Martin Luther King she promoted
civil rights in the USA. Because she
sat at the front of the bus she caused
sparks with the black people who sat
at the back of the bus. People need tospeak up when our faith is chal-lenged. They can draw fire overfaith. John was surprised when Jesus
went to be baptized by John. He was
just an ordinary person.
When people are baptized they are
one of God’s chosen children and
can make a difference.
Baptism is not the end of their
connection to the church, it is just
the beginning.
John Nixon and Doug Walker took
up the offering.
The closing hymn, Christ, When
For Us You were Baptized, brought
the morning worship service to a
close.
The community extends best wish-
es to Muriel Coultes on the celebra-
tion of her birthday.
The UCW potluck supper is
Thursday, Jan. 24 at 6:30 p.m. with
Ken Wood as guest speaker.
Gord Bosman is wished a speedy
recovery by the community. Gord,
who had been a patient at Wingham
and District Hospital for a few days
returned home on Friday, He is now
back at Wingham Hospital.
The team representing the
Wingham Golf and Curling Club
played in the Bantam boys regional
playdowns in Welland this past
weekend. The team consisting of
Matthew Dickson, Kyle Forster,
Matthew Hallahan and Matthew
Cottrill, with coaches Shawn Cottrill
