Sharon Godkin and Shannon
Craig were greeters at Duff's
United, July 18.
Patty Banks, accompanied by
Marion Godkin, sang "We Are
Climbing Jacob's Ladder" which
Randy read about in Genesis 28:1-
10.
His children's story was entitled
"Don't judge a book by its cover".
It tied in with the parable of the
weeds and wheat. We should not
be so quick to judge but to treat
everyone like wheat, he said. It's
God's job to decide which is weed
and the true wheat.
Rev. Bank's sermon was called
"Weeds". If life is a grain field
then it's a combination of good and
bad.
Rev. Banks told the several
messages of the parable. If it's
about judgement then this is an
activity that belongs to God, carried
out by His sense of timing and
grace.
If it's about God being the
Master, he said, then it shows
God's tolerance for disorder in
human relationships — he allows
wheat and weed to occupy the same
space. If it's concerned with the
mission of the Church, Rev. Banks
said, then the body of Christ is
urged to be a patient fellowship that
gathers as many as possible into
God's Kingdom before the closing
of the age.
Phyllis and Emmerson Mitchell
brought their 10 bread and
breakfast guests to church with
them. The young people, ages 13 -
19, are from the Markham Chinese
Alliance Church in Toronto. They
have been touring the countryside
and have enjoyed the area very
much.
