The Citizen, 2007-05-31, Page 22PAGE 22. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 2007. With Rev. Pat Cook away at conference the service at Londesborough United Church on Sunday, May 27 was conducted by ladies of the United Church Women. Greeters were Helen Dale and Helen Lee. Ushering that morning were Margaret Wright and Cheryl Trewartha. Congregants were treated to two duets by the Snell sisters, Barb and Bonnie. They sang Somebody Bigger That You and I and Jesus and Me. UCW vice-president, Joan Goodall, led the service. Scripture readings were done by Mary Peel and Betty Millar. The three passages spoke of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on everyone so everyone can minister and spread God’s message through their lives. This was the first Sunday of Pentecost. It was a Pentecost when the disciples received the Help of the Holy Spirit. Cheryl Trewartha gave the congregational prayers. Barb Bosman talked with the children before they went downstairs for Sunday school. She drew an analogy between the wind and the coming of the Holy Spirit. Just as one cannot see the wind, only feel it and notice what it does, so, too, one does not see the Holy Spirit. The Spirit gives life to faith and makes good things happen in our church and lives. Barb used pinwheels to demonstrate her point. The larger one had the words love, peace, hope and faith on its wings. These are the areas in which the Spirit works. In place of a sermon, a skit was performed. With Laura Scott as reporter Kelly Keene, Bev Riley as Dr. Steward and Lynda Horbanuik as Dr. Ship, they were discussing the unfortunate things which can occur in a church whose stewardship concentrates only on fundraising. Suggestions were offered to make stewardship a more rounded aspect of church life, involving all areas of a church life. Taking part were Joan Whyte, Mary Peel, Brenda Konarski, Jane Hoggart. Explaining areas of stewardship in the Londesborough church were UCW representative Joan Goodall, organist and choir director, Barb Bosman, Presbytery rep, Betty Archambault, board of stewards chairperson, Doug Trewartha and a long-time member and volunteer, Bert Lyon.
