In August, Melville has been
glad to share with their United
Church friends in weekly worship.
On Aug. 7 they celebrated with
one of the faithful members, Joanne
King, as she was presented with the
'Citizen of the Year' award. The
service was filled with musical
offerings including piano/organ.
collaboration by Joanne and Karen
Cardiff, duets by Jacqueline
Gowdy and Janna Speers, and
Karla King and Carolyn McAvoy.
Don McDonald sang a solo and
Mary Douma, Peg Aitchison and
Leona Armstrong shared a trio. Of
course no musical service is
complete without a rousing anthem
by the choir.
A time of fellowship was shared
with Joanne, the organist, after the
service.
Sunday, Aug. 14 was a special
service where two teens professed
their faith publicly in a service of
confirmation. Andrew Exel and
Chris Armstrong were confirmed.
The congregation even heard Garth
Brooks sing a fitting song The
River.
The junior choir shared two
songs and Andrew also sang a solo
Pass It On.
Following the service, the
congregation surprised the minister,
Carolyn, with a picnic at the home

of Jeff and Cathy Cardiff. Great
games were played and many
wound up wet! A lovely com roast
and pot luck supper was enjoyed by
some 100 enthusiastic picnickers.
Sunday, Aug. 21 was a
celebration of baptism as Evan
David, son of Karen and David
Smith was baptized. Elder Dave
McCutcheon, grandfather of Evan
took part as well. The congregation
thoroughly enjoyed the musical
gifts of Phil Main, announcer from
CKNX who sang and played guitar.
This coming Sunday, Aug. 28 is
a service of farewell, as Carolyn
McAvoy will then move to take up
new challenges at St. Paul's

congregation, in all things.
Cemetery Bd. honours
Jack Bryans for service
A well-known, respected Brus
sels man Jack Bryans was hon
oured on Sunday for his many
years of dedication to the Brussels
Cemetery.
Forty-five people, from council,
village staff and the cemetery
board, both past and present, were
in attendance at the cemetery for
the official dedication of a plaque
recognizing Mr. Bryan's years of
service.
Clerk Donna White said that Mr.
Bryans, who retired from the ceme
tery board in Dec. 1993, had given
of his lime and knowledge. He
never received remuneration and
went above and beyond the neces
sary requirements of a board mem
ber.
Present Board Chairman Doug
Sholdice said Mr. Bryans essential
ly served as a full-time employee
without pay.
His financial wisdom and busi
ness acumen pilotted the board into
sound investments which have
made the cemetery self-supporting.
"It was for these reasons that we
wanted some type of permanent
recognition al the cemetery of Mr.
Bryans' work and wisdom."
Elwin Garland gave the message
at Brussels Mennonite Fellowship
on Sunday, Aug. 21. The topic of
his sermon was "Home Security
System". He pointed out that
nowadays there are all sorts of
things available in the market for
ensuring security for our houses or
cars. "However," he asked, "are we
as careful about our spiritual
security?" Our body is the home for
the Holy Spirit which is a security
system for our souls. We just have
to accept the Holy Spirit into our
lives and God is there forever.
Moneywise, the cost of the Holy
spirit is free, but it may cost us our
old life, old habits, old attitudes,
maybe your old friends. However,
these will all be replaced by
something different, something
better.
The Holy Spirit brings the gift of
faith and the spirit of truth. The
spirit will warn of dangers, but we
may choose to turn off the "light"
and ignore the warnings, he said.
We have no idea when the end will
come, so we must not delay; we
must put our spiritual security
system in place now.
Manivan and Suvany Larprom
were in charge of the music for the
service. Linda Campbell was
worship leader.
Several of the youth from the
congregation have gone to Camp
Kahquah for the weekend and will
be visiting with the Procter family
there.
