Melville pastor moves on 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 — — •E. Garland delivers Outstanding service Brussels resident John W.

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.
