Coultes installed at conference Over 140 items were available at the talent/slave auction at Belgrave W.l. Hall Saturday and Florence McArter seems mighty interested in one of them. The packed crowd at the auction on Saturday helped the Knox United Church Sunday School raise over $1400 foraVCRand TV needed for teaching. Belgrave Compiled by Mrs. Helen Stonehouse. Phone 887-9487 ‘ Coming King’ minister’s message The sanctuary of Knox United Church, Belgrave, was beautified by several Easter lilies and con­ tainers of daffodils on Palm Sun­ day, April 8 for the observance of Children’s Sunday. Mrs. George Procter, organist accompanied the 10-member Child­ ren’s choir as they sang “Hosanna! Hosanna!’’ They then occupied the central front pews to receive the message “A Coming King’’, de­ livered by Rev. Peter D. Tucker. In response to “How many own a pet?’’ all the children replied “Yes”. Jesus had a good relation­ ship with animals. A person’s anger leaves if he keeps and strokes a pet. His blood pressure drops, so his health improves. Pets are our friends, they seldom dis­ play an ugly mood. This is a fine lesson for humans to learn. Jesus said “Find me something to ride’’. A king might request to ride on a very fine animal. Jesus asked for a donkey, a baby donkey, which had never been ridden. Most unbroken, riding animals would ‘buck’ under these circumstances. This little donkey did not, as Jesus had created it and a special relationship existed. On Palm Sunday the crowd in Jerusalem saw Jesus approaching and shouted “Hurrah! now we’ll be independent with this King to rule over us.’’ Jesus, however, did not ome as an earthly ruler, He came a love. One may donate gifts expecting love in exchange, but no one can force love. It must be spontaneous from within. Jesus came to be King of our hearts; to experience our love. Often we’re like the crowd which welcomed the King on Sunday and rebuked him two days later. That’s sin. Welcome Jesus. Let Him be Lord of your life. Offertory stewards were Lori Keller and John R. Taylor. At the conclusion of the sermon Mrs. Ruth Gordon, Sunday School Superintendent, came forward and expressed her appreciation to all who had assisted with the Slave Auction on Saturday, April 7. She stated that a substantial profit had been realized to defray all expenses on the new Sunday School T.V. and V.C.R. Just a reminder: Easter Sunday Sunrise Service is at 7 a.m. in Knox United Church, Belgrave Sunday School room with breakfast to follow service. Everyone is wel- come. U.C.W. CONFERENCE College Ave United Church, Woodstock was filled to capacity on Monday, April 2 for the opening day of London Conference United Church Women’s 28th annual meeting. Over 300 women gathered from across the Conference to enjoy two days of Bible Study, worship, fellowship and Inspiration. “God’s Faithfulness - Our Response’’ was the theme. Rev. Diane Walker of Norwich led a Bible Study on women of the Old Testament in the morning and she gave a very informative presen­ tation on the oppression of women at that time. Her presentation on Tuesday morning was God’s faith­ fulness to women in the New Testament and how His treatment of women was different. One of the highlights of the Monday program was Mrs. La- vonne Ballagh of Wingham who captivated the audience with her personal story and examples of God’s faithfulness to her.

Sang Chui Lee was the evening speaker and Talent slave auction a success The Belgrave Women’s Institute Hall was alive with action Saturday evening when Knox United Church Sunday School held their talent slave auction. The auctioneer, Paul McKee, kept things lively and interesting. Baked goods were a real hit with the large crowd in attendance. The senior class members were kept busy bringing items to the auctioneer as well as delivering the articles to the successful bidders. It was evident that everyone had a profitable and fun evening. once again personal stories of his faith experiences made the audi­ ence more aware of the lives people from other countries experience. Some of them also proved that the concerns for families are the same no matter where you live. Among the officers installed on Tuesday by the President of Lon­ don Conference Rev.
