Phone 887-9487 Church welcomesnewcomers Baskets of pink peonies and other floral arrangements beauti­ fied the sanctuary of Knox United Church, Belgrave, for the service, June 25. Mrs. George Procter, organist presented a prelude of sacred numbers and also accompanied the choir for their anthem “When Jesus Speaks My Name’’. Rev. John G. Roberts, who conducted the service announced his pleasure in welcoming two new members Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Croskill, formerly of Wingham United Church into the Belgrave membership. They were received with a hearty hand clasp of the minister as the congregation stood to acknowledge its acceptance and pleasure in receiving the two Belgrave residents as members of the church. Mr. Roberts read scripture vers­ es from Ephesians 4. “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation where with ye are called. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.’’ For many weeks Rev. Roberts has questioned himself as to a concluding message for his people on his last Sunday as their mini­ ster. His final decision was “The Church”. No one is more aware of its difficulties and problems than he. The church is guilty of hatred, violence, even war. « English guests visit with Elizabeth Procter Mr. and Mrs. Philip Stopforth of London and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Stopforth of Liverpool, England, visited on Sunday, June 25 with Mrs. Elizabeth Procter, Belgrave.

For a long period of time Mr. Roberts’ whole being has been dominated by the church. He took no step without the church. The church gives perspective to ordinary people. The church forces everyone to recognize the perspec­ tive of God. Elements fade without the Church’s perspective. Each looks beyond himself; beyond the clamour of human voices. God asks us to participate in the whole enterprise of the kingdom of God. God pleads, “Who will go for us?” “Grasp opportunity.” “Com­ mit your lives.” This is the church. Never forget its problems, its sin Often, only the Church opens the opportunity to serve, and confront government challenges in terms of truth, justice and mercy. A most unlikely person with unknown abilities, is often chosen to do something deemed impossi­ ble. The Church is not a collection of individuals, it is a community. The fruit of the spirit is love, patience, self-control, kindness and gentleness. This is what faith is all about - we are drawn in as brothers and sisters in Christ, always con­ scious of people in the community. Community is the test of our faith. The community of men and women remains through all trou­ bles. Mr. Robert’s closing challenge was “Join me in the celebration of the Church community.” Thomas Moy, Craig and Sara, Mississauga; Mrs. Vicki Schreiber, Benjamin and Thomas, Brazil; Mrs. Pat Hunking, Londesboro; and Vaughn Hunking, London visi­ ted with their mother and grand­ mother Mrs. Sara Anderson over the weekend of June 25.
