Easter Sunday marked at Knox
Elizabeth Procter played prelude
music and accompanied the hymns
on Good Friday at Knox United
Church. Following was a time of
quiet and silent prayer thinking of all
those who had passed away during
the past year.
Minister Brian Hymers lit the
Christ candle as a sign of our faith in
the Lord. He has always been with
us teaching and guiding us.
Ron Taylor and Trudy Taylor
greeted worshippers and handed out
the bulletins at Knox United Church
on Easter Sunday, April 21.
Elizabeth Procter played inspiring
prelude music and accompanied all
the hymns with Lila Procter also
accompanying with her guitar. The
front of the sanctuary was adorned
with a potted lily and other plants.
Early on the first day of the week,
the disciple of Jesus went to the
tomb where He was buried only to
find that the stone had been rolled
away and the tomb was empty. We
were gathered as Christ’s disciples
to celebrate the good news of the
gospel; Jesus Christ has risen from
the dead.
Brian Hymers lit the Christ candle
and a candle in memory of those
who had passed away, including his
aunt Gladys. This service is all about
our day of Glory.
Maddison Davenport is wished all
the best in her dance competition.
After dancing in Mississauga she
will go on to Niagara Falls, New
York.
The opening hymn was, “Jesus
Christ Has Risen Today.” The call to
worship followed. We witnessed that
Christ died on a cross and that God
raised Him from the dead on the
third day and that He is coming
again in glory to reign.
The children’s hymn was, “I
Danced in the Morning” followed by
story time for the young at heart.
Brian read a story about hot cross
buns. It was about a monk in
England who decided to make hot
cross buns and share with families
living on the streets. On Easter
morning he filled a basket with hot
cross buns and went around selling
them. Before the church service he
put all the money he made on the
collection plate.
After the choir sang, “He Is Risen,
Hallelujah!” the children adjourned
for Sunday School.
Karen Davenport read scripture
from Isaiah 61: 1-4, 9-11 and John
20: 1-18. Brian reflected on Easter
Sunday morning being a new dawn,
fresh new scent of spring and new
growth.
Joseph had taken Jesus’ body
away and put Him in a special
cave/tomb. He put a huge stone over
the opening of the cave. Guards
watched the cave to make sure no
one took Jesus’ body. Early Sunday
morning an angel came from heaven
and rolled the stone away. When the
guards saw Him they shook with
fear and fell down.
One of Jesus’ friends named Mary
came to the cave/tomb early that
morning. She saw the stone was not
in front of it so she went in. She saw
an angel there. The angel said that
Jesus was not there, “He is alive.”
The angel said to go and tell his
friends that they will get to see Him
again.
We are all children of God and are
all as one. Christ is always with us.
We need community.
Roger Hopper reported on the
Minute for Missions, which dealt
with supporting parents with
children who have autism.
Don Shiell and Ken Procter took
up the offering, which was
dedicated.
The offertory response was the
singing of “We Give You But Your
Own”. The Lord’s Prayer was sung
and the parting hymn, “Hallelujah,
Hallelujah” was sung, the
benediction and blessing, “Go Now
in Peace” and the Giving of the
Flame of Christ ended the worship
service.
Over $250 was raised from the
donation of Elly’s books with funds
raised going towards the Mission
and Service Fund. The remainder of
the books will remain out for one
more week if you would like to have
a book. Thank you for your generous
support.
On Wednesday, May 1, there is a
hot lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
at the Belgrave Community Centre.
Come and bring a friend. Payment is
by donation. For information contact
Kathy Procter at 519-357-3557. No
advance tickets are required.
Everyone is welcome.
The community extends special
birthday greetings to Florence
McArter on her 90th birthday on
April 23.
A first cousin of Irene Lamont,
Jean Love (Smith) of England
passed away recently at the age of
89. They corresponded in their
younger years but never met each
other then. She came here to visit
Irene in 1982 and 1987. Irene visited
her in England in 1991. The
community extends sincere
sympathy to Irene.

Mike and Donelda Cottrill’s were

and Nicole, Amelia and Violet and
Mathew and Kathleen.
Dale and Colleen Lamont and
Irene Lamont and all enjoyed
a dinner together on Easter
Sunday.
