Outfit for Melville Church has busy spring Melville Presbyterian Church, under the enthusiastic leadership of the Rev. Caroline McAvoy, has had a busy and rewarding spring. At Easter, in co-operation with the other churches in Brussels and Walton, a series of services was held. Maundy Thursday service was held in Melville with a musical theme. Good Friday morning ser­ vice was held in Brussels United with a dramatic presentation. Sa­ turday evening Easter Vigil was held by candlelight and used the theme of water. Sunday morning, the Melville Sunday School served breakfast, then everyone went to his or her own church. Easter Sunday at Melville not only celebrated Easter and the Resurrection but the ordination of four newly elected elders: Mary Douma, Elaine Armstrong, Brian Armstrong and Jeff Cardiff. Mary and Elaine are the first women elders to be ordained in Melville. Mother’s Day gave another rea­ son to celebrate when four infants were baptized. They were: Thomas Louis, son of Lynne and Tom Cronin; Mark Robert, son of Carla and Robert Freeman; Mathew William Lloyd, son of Sherry and Gary Souch; and Jodi Michelle, daughter of Brenda and Robert McIntosh.
