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.
Mother’s Day was also Miracle
Sunday when members brought
special donations to pay for the
much needed roof on Melville
church. The response was grati
fying and we hope that in the
coming weeks the fund will go
“Over The Top”.
