HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1980-11-12, Page 31Early setting - far service Today's service had .a most unusual getting. We were invited back in time to the days when the early Christians Were . under severe 'persecution and forced to meet secretly to give praise and thanks to God. We experiepced, in part, what it must have been like, as we gathereel, together in the dark' basement, lit with candles, bringing only ourselves and the gifts we each had to offer up in praise. The children tested parents and adults alike to see if they were Christians using the sign of the "fish" or the Greek letter "X" for Christ. As taken from Acts we joined in learning, fellowship, breaking of Bread and prayers. The Eucharist took on a very special meaning as each person administered the "elements" to his neighbour. A brief examination of the story of the. "Good Samaritan" brought home very forcefully the message of losing your neighbour. As we. remembered the suffering of the early Christians we were reminded today there are still many who are not free. Spontaneous and joyful music was provided by Penny Hodgins and Rev. Bruce Pocock, on guitars with the congregation joining in. The service was designed to help us in trusting one another and working together and to celebrate the joy of being Christians who are free because of God's great love for us and the gift of His Son, our Lord and Saviour, Upcoming at Holy Trinity: The Fall synod of the Diocese of Huron meets, on Saturday, November 15 at Althouse College.

Judi Henry announced to the Junior Church they would be practising for the Christmas Program for December 7, Mi., Davies spoke from Corinthians which tells els how to be ministers for God, Some ways we need to use are patience, pureness, knowledge, and kindness, with love by the Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit is a Person, who is the source of personal spiritual power, who gives us wisdoen for which we need only ak. The greatest unused force is love unfeigned. Loving 'someone who hates you, treating someone with kindness, will show people you are Christ's disciple. The least used Christian weapon is the word of truth, The devil brings contentions into our lives, causing family problems.

Many times 'we can envy someone who has more than we do, although the Bible says love flea pride in life leeks „does _not envy: A person love. Whoevel. turns God out of his life 'shows rudeness to God. Many times We show rudeness tp our family and others. But love is never rude.
