J. Murray Scott conducts
Knox United service Belgrave
Knox United Church, Belgrave,
was tastefully decorated with a
multi-coloured flower arrangement
and a pink hydrangea in full bloom
for the “Conference Sunday” ser
vice May 6.
In the absence of Rev. Peter D.
Tucker who is attending the Lon
don Conference, J. Murray Scott
conducted the service, assisted by
Mrs. Gordon Bosman and William
A. Coultes.
Mrs. Bosman read the scripture
passages and a children’s story
about Brenda. Brenda’s parents
could not afford luxuries for their
child. She carried her homemade
bread sandwiches to school in a
brown paper bag; wore a home-
sewn blouse and a sweater which
her grandfather had knitted. Her
knowledge of boating and camping
did exceed that of her classmates.
Still she was reluctant to join them
for games or lunch. However, after
revealing her information, she was
appreciated by her peers. She had
much to offer. Let us put our
priorities in the proper prospective.
The sermon was in dialogue form
on the theme “Local Passions
within a Global Vision”, with
Murray Scott and William Coultes
participating. Reference was made
to the present moderator of the
United Church who emigrated from
his homeland and family to partake
in the Christian Ministry in Can
ada.
The hymns, “Praise to the
Lord”, “In Christ there is no east
or west,” and “Love Divine” was
sung with organ accompaniment by
Mrs. George Procter. Offertory
stewards were Carol Hopper and
Glen Hunter.
