cember 24 as the members, rela
tives and friends gathered in Knox
United Church, Belgrave to cele
brate Christ’s birth.
An atmosphere of the festive
season was created in the sanctu
ary and vestible by decorated
candelabra with lighted tapers, a
glowing tree, several poinsettias,
containers of bright blooms and
Christmas sprays bedecked with
scarlet ribbon.
Rev. Peter D. Tucker conducted
the service using scripture read
ings from Zechariah’s prophesy
and Matthew 2: 1-11.
The children’s story was intro
duced with the question “Have you
peeked at any of your Christmas
presents?’’ Some had and told of
them. Presents are nicely wrapped.
“What would you lose if you kept
the wrapping and threw away the
gift?’’ Adults occasionally keep the
wrapping and throw God’s gift
away. Christmas is God’s gift of his
son.
The children retired to the
schoolroom led by Mrs. John
Campbell, Grace Carmichael,
Jayne Vincent and Margie Gor
don.
The large choir of mixed voices
sang two anthems “Christmas
Message’’ with Mrs. Joel Arkell
singing the soprano portion and
“Praise to Jesus’’ with piano
accompaniment by Mrs. Goerge
Procter. Miss Jennifer Procter lent
aboe support for this number.
The offering was received by
Kenneth Procter, Donald G. Proc
ter, Ross Higgins and John R.
Taylor.
The minister stated that memory
becomes spent. At Christmas Santa
Claus, Kris Kringle and Jesus all
become one. Carols are blotted out
by modern songs. Many ask
“Where is the baby born to be
King?” Past history becomes bor
ing. Jesus never emerges here
now. He is always in the manger,
always a baby in arms. For others
he lived as a martyr. Christians
may recognize him as a great wise
man - now dead, looming in the
past as a charming appealing
person. We need someone alive.
Peace on earth is an attainable goal
in the present as is witnessed in
Europe. We are dealing with a
Christ who can bring peace to our
hearts and lives.
God gave his son Emmanuel,
which means “God With Us”. He
is here present and loving forever.
