Belgrave WMS meets
Symbols of church
explained at service
Sunday, January 19was cele
brated as Children’s Sunday in
Knox United Church, Belgrave.
The junior choir accompanied by
the organist, Mrs. George Procter
sang “Praise to the Lord.”
The choir members then occupi
ed the central front pews to hear
the message which was delivered
by the Rev. John G. Roberts. He
used a scripture passage from
John, 17.
Toemphasize his theme, “What
the United Church Stands For”,
Mr. Roberts referred to a banner
with the symbols and names of the
various uniting churches signified
on it.
The dove represents the Holy
Spirit descending from heaven and
is meant to suggest the Spirit-
inspired preaching which gave the
Methodist Church its power. The
open Bible represents the Congre
gational principle of religious
freedom, liberty to preach the
Word of God in loyalty to the truth
and in obedience to the Holy Spirit.
The burning bush is the traditional
emblem of the Presbyterian
church. It represents the undying
church from which the Word of God
is continually preached. The Cross
and the two clasped hands signify
the “Fellowship” of the Evangeli
cal United Brethren Church.
The official seal or crest on the
Pulpit Fall was used to further
reveal the understanding of the
United Church symbols. The Al
pha and Omega at the base of the
seal refer to Christ who is the
Beginning and End for Christians -
life begins andends, for the church
with Jesus Christ. The X which
divides the seal into four parts is
the first letter of the word “Christ’ ’
in the Greek alphabet. The shape of
the crest is that of a ‘fish’, the
symbol used by the early Chris
tians to convey messages to fellow
members.
The service was concluded by
the choir singing the Benediction.
