Phone 887-9487 Knox United Church marks Children’s Sunday Since the third Sunday of each month is set apart as Children’s Sunday, March 18 marked this occasion at Knox United Church, Belgrave. Rev. Peter Tucker conducted the service. Mrs. George Procter, or­ ganist, accompanied the children’s choir as it sang, “Ten Lepers”. Two scripture passages were read, I Corinthians 13 relative to “Love”, and Luke 17: 11-19, the ten lepers. A question and response period, involving the children, revealed several points: All need friends, and someone to talk with. No one in a group wishes to be in a different category in reference to dress, skin colour, health, body structure or nationality. In the 10 leper story one was different in home country, skin colour and nationality. He was a Samaritan. All 10 had leprosy. They approached Jesus with the appeal, “Master, have pity on us”. Jesus said, “Go, let the priests see you”. All were cured of blemishes. Nine were happy and went home; but the 10th, the Samaritan was different. He returned to his Mas­ ter to give thanks.” True thanks is not only an expression; it must come from the inside; as shown by the Samaritan. Is it possible that for every 10 in your community, who are well-fed and clothed, nine don’t give thanks. We should give thanks from the inside. Offertory stewards were Sharon Keller, Darlene Black, Steven Nixon and Kenneth Procter. Refreshments were served in the schoolroom at the conclusion of the service. Organ purchase approved A congregational meeting was held after the morning service on Sunday, March 18 in Knox United Church, Belgrave. It was decided that a new church organ would be purchased and installed at the earliest conveni­ ence by the organ committee that had been appointed by the annual meeting. The Afternoon Unit of the U.C.W. met at the home of Mrs. Janisa Coultes Monday, March 12 with nine ladies present for the March meeting. Mrs. Sara Ander­ son opened with the following quote: “How great is the love that the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God: that is what we are”. Secretary’s and treasurer’s re­ ports were given and 10 visits to sick and shut-ins recorded. Mrs. Coultes handed out receipt-, ed cheques from C.U.S.O. to those ’ who had made individual donations and informed members that sub­ scriptions to the Upper Room have expired. The list of names to be revised. Mrs. Coultes read some of the story of Cain and Abel and after Cains jealousy of Abel he slew his brother but was let live with his guilt and later asked for pardon. The first and last verses of the hymn “There were ninety and nine that safely lay” were read. All of us have treasures of beloved verses or possibly a story why it is beloved or a hymn and so forth which helped to mold our personalities and faith making a book. Our treasure book. Mrs. Coultes made the first entry in this book of remembering an old 80 year old gentleman singing “There were ninety and nine” and rocking rythmically. His message God deserves our best and that God is always ready to forgive our mistakes and rejoices when we acknowledge our errors and ask for help. For worship, Mrs. Janisa Coultes used the Upper Room entitled Life Pattern and meditation. No one is rich enough to do without a neighbour. Mrs. Sara Anderson read an article re: the Lord’s Prayer and all repeating the Lord’s Prayer. The hymn “Will your anchor hold” first and last verses. Mrs. Jean Pattison, for Bible Study, read Matthew 6: 1-16 and meditation from Barclay’s book on Matthew. For Mission Study, Mrs. Olive Bolt used a “Look Inside a Korean Church”. The United Church of Canada has 48 ethnic or racial congregations the biggest differ­ ence is the language. The Korean United Church in Edmonton is one of the United Church’s 14 Korean Churches, 10 of which are in Edmonton Alberta. Worship ser­ vice is conducted in Korean but the Sunday School is in Korean and English. They feel uncomfortable attend­ ing an established English-speak­ ing church because someone al­ ways asks, “What oriental group do you belong. They don’t want to be different from the rest, they want to be part of the regular general public. Don’t denounce some other person’s religion and they will respect your church, a valuable lesson for all of us to learn. The hymn “What a Friend we have in Jesus” and the U.C.W. benediction concluded the meet­ ing.

Dough Girls make pita BY JULIE ELSTON The fifth meeting of the Belgrave No. 1 Dough Girls was held on Monday, March 5 with 12 members present. The meeting started with the 4H pledge. During this meeting mem­ bers learned about breads in the microwave oven, how to check it aft^r cooking it in the microwave oven and using a food processor in the process of making bread. They also talked about different shapes, e.g. change a pan with a casserole dish or juice can. At this meeting they made pita bread. Everyone loved the pita bread. It was delicious! They talked about the Home Activity, and then closed the meeting with the 4H pledge. The sixth meeting of the Bel­ grave Dough Girls was held on Tuesday, March 13 with 11 mem­ bers present. The meeting was held at Zehrs grocery store in Wingham. At this meeting they had a good tour of the bakery in Zehrs. First they took a visit to the kitchen where two loaves of Italian Bread were being prepared. It takes about one whole hour to prepare and cook the bread. When they were finished cooking it they sprayed the bread and let it cook for about 30 more seconds, and then took the loaves out. The club also took a trip to the freezer, which is as large as a regular-sized room. They took a look at everything frozen. The thing that surprised the club the most was the hotdog and ham­ burger buns. They rise to about twice the size they start off at. It was really neat to go to the bakery. Members learned a lot on this trip about baking, including when you take the bread out of the oven for cooling set it on an oven mitt and it will stay warm and fresh.
