New St. Ambrose Catholic Church holds first service The congregation of St. Ambrose Roman Catholic Church filled the pews for the first service in the new structure Aug. 1. The original building on Fish- liegh St., in Brussels was torn down in early spring of this year. Catherine Terpstra, whose hus- band Charles was on the building committee says the official opening service will be held in September. Sing along Dean Morrison plays the guitar and Sheehan Carter, the violin, in a sing along for residents at Huronlea in Brussels on Thursday as part of a day camp put on by the youth of Ontario Street United Church in Clinton. The program was also presented at Huronview in Clinton. Dr. Van Dorp leads worship On Sunday, Aug. 8 the congregation of the Blyth Christian Reformed Church welcomed Dr. John Van Dorp from Wiarton, to lead the worship services. The call to worship was taken from Psalm 95. Dr. Van Dorp used Psalm 51 as confession of sins and assurance of pardon. The scripture passage for the message was taken from James 1: 19-27, Matthew 7: 21-29, and the text was taken from Romans 2:13. The sermon was entitled, ,"Christian Conduct Doing The Work" Dr. Van Dorp used a visual aid at the start of his message. He had a stethoscope and a bee smoker. Being a physician, he 'explained how he uses his stethoscope to hear a person's breath, but if he put his stethoscope to the bee smoker while gently pumping it, the sound of the air in the baffles sounded much the same Guest speaker talks of rights at Brussels Mennonite Fellowship On Sunday, Aug. 8, *lark Hallman, pastor at Glen Allen Mennonite Church, gave the message at Brussels Mennonite Fellowship. He preached from Matthew 20, on the topic of rights. We really have no right to live as affluently as we do. All that we have is because of God's mercy, he said. God has called all Christians to do the work of God. We do not have the right to remain silent since God has called each of us to use our gifts to minister God's Word. Pastor Hallman said, "The only right we have is the right to accept salvation provided to us because of God's mercy." Bev Brown was worship leader for the Sunday service and Lena Seigers was song leader with Nancy Elliot-Greenwood providing the accompaniment. Following the service, the congregation and guests enjoyed a pot luck meal and fellowship in the gymnasium. as a human breathing. He used this as an example to bring across the fact that it takes more than breath to have life. It is absolutely essential to have breath, but just because there is air moving in and out does not mean there is life, he said. In the life of a Christian there must be faith, but faith without good works is dead. Once we are saved by the grace of God, it is impossible not to do good works. There are many examples in the Bible where a person or a nation knew the word of God but did not act accordingly. Dr. Van Dorp said we do not grow as Christians by hearing the word only, we must also be doers. Perversity of those claiming to be Christians has done so much damage. A prime example of this would be children who have been The McBumey reunion was held Sunday, Aug. 8 in the Belgrave W.I. Hall with about 60 attending, from Orillia, Komoka, London, Michigan, Neustadt, Cambridge, Listowel and locally. The president and secretary for this year were Ron and Jean McBurney and heading next year's picnic will be Donna Hardie and Wallie Evans. Sports will be under Mr. and Mrs. Grant Trigger of Carsonville, Michigan spent the weekend with Mrs. Mabel Wheeler and attended the McGowan reunion. Mrs. Howard Zettler, Sherry, Amanda and Alicia of RR 4, Walkerton spent Wednesday with her mother Mrs. Elizabeth Procter sexually abused by priests and pastors, he said. The Bible says that we are saved by grace, not by our works. That is because our works are stained by sin and God requires . perfection, but the Bible also says we will be judged by our works and rewarded. The service was closed by singing, "Teach Me Oh Lord, Thy Way of Truth." The offering will be used in assisting the building of a church in Esparza, Costa Rica. Several people from surrounding CRC churches will be working with missionaries, Jim and Hilda Visser in January to erect the building. The evening service was held outdoors in the Lions Park, again with Dr. Van Dorp leading. Coffee and fellowship were enjoyed after both services. the charge of Robyn Garvey and Wilford Shiell. All enjoyed a session of music with Mary Coultes, Gordon and Ron McBurney, Wilford Shiell, Don and Marion Kernighan entertaining.
