THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1993. From the Minister's Study Each member plays role By Rev. Cameron McMillan Brussels and Ethel United Churches St. Paul once said in I Corinthians 12: 12-18 "The human body is made up of many parts. The foot cannot say 'because I am not a hand, I don't belong to the body.' Nor can the ear say 'because I am not an eye, I don't belong to the body.' If the whole body were just an eye, how could it hear, and if it were only an ear, how could it smell? God put every part into the body just as he wanted it to be." Paul goes on to compare the Christian church to a human body. The church has many different members, just as the body has many different parts. Each member The Sunday School re- covenanting service was held at the Sunday morning service at Bluevale United Church with Rev. Banks in charge. The Sunday School children, teachers and superintendent Doug Pastor Tom preached from Acts 10: 9-16 on Sunday, Sept. 19 at WI Dist. Dir. hold annual meeting Public Relations Officer M.M. McMahon Newly elected Huron East District President Jean Wilson held her first District director's meeting at the Walton Women's Institute Hall. Members tended to the business at hand as there were several items to be covered. Each branch in Huron East is being asked to donate a $5 craft item for the sales table at Truro N.S., June 2-6, at the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada Convention. Centennial plants to commemo- rate the 100th anniversary of the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario are still available to be ordered until October at $45 each. Thereafter the price will be $50. Huron East is to submit a name to the Huron County Rally Oct. 4 being held at the OMAF offices in Clinton, for the position of assistant-secretary-treasurer. Final plans for the Guelph area convention Oct. 27-28 at Brussels were discussed and reviewed. Doris McCall and Leona Armstrong, Brussels, are in charge of billeting, but require more names to provide billets. An Associated Country Women of the World church service is in the works for April with plans to be finalized at the winter district director's meeting. The Huron-Perth education committee has a new set of guide lines to follow. They will present a financial statement at each District annual. A suggestion was made to have each Branch Public Relations Officer record each member's volunteer hours every month with the roll call, thereby making it easier to tally the numbers at year Continued on page 19 has different and important functions that they perform. One member is the minister, another the choir leader. Some members are singers, other are elders and stewards, Sunday school teachers, ladies' group workers, worshippers, Sunday School pupils, etc. Each person involved in the church contributes something to it. What they do is important and contri- butes to the overall working of the church body. We cannot do without any church members, just as we cannot do without any of the different parts of the human body. When one of our church members is sick or not working, the overall work of the church is diminished in the same way as a sick part of our body Garniss gathered at the front of the church to renew the covenant, both in meditation and prayer. The hymn "Growing in God's Way" was sung. Laurie Willitts presented each child with a small gift. The children were encouraged to attend Sunday Brussels Mennonite Fellowship, on the topic, "A Question of Mission". Bev Brown was worship leader, and Lucy Hesse and Kathy Procter were in charge of the congregational singing. Joy-Ellen Greenwood provided special music on the flute, and was accompanied by her mother, Nancy Elliot-Greenwood on the piano. There was a commissioning service during the church service for Lena Siegers, who is entering the Mission Field with the Peacemakers Team for a three-year commitment. On Sunday evening a hymn-sing was held at the church during which Lena gave more details on her upcoming venture. A social time followed as a farewell for Lena. The Elders met on Monday evening. The Ladies Fellowship resumed the monthly meetings following the summer break, on Tuesday evening. Gladys Ellsmore was the speaker at this meeting. causes the whole body to shut down. The different parts of the human body and the church have to learn to co-operate and work together. What gives overall co-ordination to the work of the human body is the brain. What gives overall co- ordination to the work of the church is Jesus Christ, our risen Lord and saviour. As we learn what Jesus was like, the kinds of things that he did, as our human spirit reaches out and is touched by Christ's spirit, we can become inspired to behave in the way that Christ wants us to act. We will then do the things that Christ wants us to do and be an effective working part of Christ's body, the church. School regularly. Before the children went downstairs, the choir, with organists Etoile and Mary Lou Johnston sang a children's song "All God's Critters." The scripture passages were taken from Exodus 17: 1-17, Phil. 2: 1-13 and Matthew 21: 23-32. Jacquie Garniss assisted in the reading. Bill Peacock and Jack Fischer were ushers. The Apostles' Creed was repeated in unison and Rev. Banks gave an article from Minute for Missions. Prayers were said for the family of God, remembering Daisy Timn in hospital, others who are sick and shut-in and also for the family of the late Ray Huether of Walton who recently passed away. A beautiful floral arrangement was placed in his memory. The service closed with :'Come, Let Us Sing" followed by the benediction. World-wide communion will be celebrated on Oct. 3. At 2 p.m. on Oct. 3 there will be a Huronlea Dedication Service.
