Londesborough United board meeting set Sept. 11
Sue Barnett led the morning
service at Londesborough United on
Sunday, Sept. 2. Prior to the service,
director of music, Barb Bosman led
a short hymn sing. The sanctuary
was tastefully decorated with
touches of the fall season.
During the children’s time, Sue,
who is familiar to the children from
her years at Hullett Central Public
School, spoke about the return to
school and the rules they will need to
remember. They discussed the fact
that everyone has rules to follow –
parents, teachers, ministers. All
facets of society have rules. Rules
are what keeps everyone happy,
healthy and safe. She told them that
even Christ's disciples were scolded
one day for not following the rule
about washing their hands.
The New Testament verses chosen
by Mrs. Barnett from Mark were
Chapter 7:1-8, 14-15 and 21-23 and
they were an account of the
Pharisees reprimanding Jesus
because His disciples went to table
with unclean hands. The religious
ritual at the time was a much
involved cleansing of the hands
before a meal. Essentially the
Pharisees were nit-picking, trying to
find fault with Christ and His
ministry.
Mrs. Barnett went on to state that
the real values in life come from the
heart and soul. The washing of hands
cannot defile the soul and the world
needs to decide which rules are the
important ones to build a spiritually
moral life. What Christ and the Bible
teach forms lives full of integrity,
service to others, loyalty,
friendliness, courtesy,
accountability, etc.
Sue asked each congregant to
consider whether they look at the
wrong and unimportant issues in life
or the ones important to making lives
and our world a better place for
everyone. She suggested everyone
live in such a way as to bring glory to
God; to have a clean heart as well as
clean hands.
The responsive psalm was Psalm
45.
The United Church of Canada has
been working to atone themselves
for being part of the Indigenous
schooling system of the past.
The morning’s order of service
contained a report of the Toronto
Urban Native Ministry, which
reaches out to Aboriginal people
through counselling and spiritual
care. This work is funded by
donations to the Mission and Service
Fund.
Mrs. Barnett will lead the service
again on Sunday, Sept. 9. The
following Sunday, Sept. 16, Auburn
and Londesborough will hold a joint
service at Ball’s Chapel.
The Outreach Committee is asking
for donations of non-perishable
items for the Thanksgiving food
drive until the end of the month.
The Official Board will meet in the
sanctuary on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at
7:30 p.m.
