Brussels UCW
holds potluck
Brussels United Church Women
held their December meeting in the
Church Sunday School rooms. Pot
luck supper was held at 6:30 p.m.
Welcome was given by President
Gertie Kellington who read a poem
“Always a Christmas Night”.
May was the month chosen for
the birthday party at the Nursing
Home in Wingham. The ladies will
look after the Sunday Service on
January 13 celebrating the 30th
anniversary of the U.C.W. Shut-in
boxes will be done up on December
19 at 10 a.m. The treasurer's report
was given by Joyce Jacklin.
The worship service was led by
Luella Mitchell. The theme was
“What is Christmas?” Scripture
“Christmas Story” was read by
Betty Campbell. Messages about
what Christmas means to us were
read by Betty Campbell, “The Can
dle”; Dorothy Steffler, “Christmas
Tree”; Laura Barbour, “Friends”;
and Luella Mitchell, “Sharing”. A
duet was sung Betty Campbell and
Joyce Jacklin. The Christmas
Carol, “The Holly and the Ivy” was
sung.
Small presentations were done on
the origins of some Christmas tra
ditions. Using the theme of flowers,
Audrey Cardiff told the legend of
the Christmas Rose. Dorothy Stef
fler used the idea of stockings for
her theme of children, while
Audrey Cardiff did something on
shopping. The theme of gifts was
presented by Luella Mitchell. Betty
Campbell told of the candle in the
window.
“We Three Kings” was sung.
Prayer was given by Laura fol
lowed by the Lord's Prayer. “O
Holy Night” closed the meeting
followed by the benediction.
‘How Great our Joy’ during the
morning service.
Pastor Came's message, taken
from Isaiah 9: 2-7, was ‘Promises’.
We make many promises but never
keep them. God makes large, gen
erous promises and they are sure.
In John 3: 16 God gave and at
Christmas time this verse takes on
great meaning. Christmas is all
about love. The love of God drives
some around the world to tell of
this great love. This is a miracle.
In Isa. 9:2 it says ‘the people
walking in darkness have seen a
great light’. Christ is the light of the
world. What a great revelation
when the light of Jesus dawns in
our souls. /
In Isa. 9:6 it says ‘and the
government will be upon His
shoulders. ’ It is a blessed day when
God takes control of our lives. He
is lord over every circumstances
and He is in control of our lives
when we have accepted Christ. The
Lord can do something about our
rebellion and our uncontrolled
nature.
Sunday, Dec. 22 the annual
Christmas concert of Auburn Mis
sionary Church will be a slide pre
