Mennonites hold family retreat
Families from Brussels Mennon-
ite Fellowship held a weekend
family retreat September 21-23 at
Silver Lake Mennonite Camp near
Sauble Beach.
About 115 people gathered for
camping for fellowship and for
spiritual renewal. Special thanks
was given to all members of the
committee who organized the re
treat and to Delton and Johanna
Holst from New Hamburg who
donated their time and expertise in
the kitchen.
Ray Erb, pastor at Crosshill
Mennonite Church, and his wife
Eleanor led some learning sessions
based on the theme, “The Family
of God”.
The Blyth Christian Puppeteers
put on several performances during
the weekend. These were enjoyed
by children and adults alike.
On Sunday morning the group
was ministered through a variety of
musical numbers by several mem
bers of the congregation.
Elwin Garland then led a devo
tional service followed by commun
ion. The activities ended with a
Sunday School picnic Sunday after
noon. The monthly Men’s Break
fast will be held at the church,
Saturday, September 29 at 7:30
a.m. It will take the form of a
father-teenager breakfast with
guest speaker Bruce Whitmore
discussing substance abuse.
(Hosea 11, 1-11) and the sermon
title was “God’s Parental Love”.
The scripture reading reveals
God’s views on the people of
Egypt, telling how he yearned over
them just as a parent yearns over a
wayward son or daughter. Even
though God’s people drifted away
from Him, even though they sacri
ficed to the Baals and burned
incense to the idols - still God
continued to love and guide them.
He gave them manner when they
were hungry and he restored their
kingdom. He was patient and
diligent because of his own natural
loving nature.
Rev. Ramirez compared this love
to a parent’s love when teaching
our young to walk. We are there,
holding on to them, ready to pick
them up when they fall. When we
become bruised emotionally and
mentally, when we have problems
in our life, when we have lost a
loved one. Rev. Ramirez said we
shouldn’t blame God or ask
“why?” All God wants is for us to
listen to Him, to love Him and to
trust Him, remembering that He
loved us first and wants only for us
to share with Him our eternal home
in His Kingdom.
