Several members of Knox United
Church, Auburn attended the
meeting of the Rural Life
Committee of London Conference
on Tuesday, Feb. 7 at Egmondville
United Church. Leadership was by
the powerful past moderator Rev.
Walter Farquharson and his wife
Joan. There was an excellent
attendance and the Egmondville
ladies served a delicious lunch at
noon.
Members sat at tables and
working in small groups discussed
the questions raised by Rev. and
Mrs. Farquharson.
What are churches like - are they
changing? The answer to this was
yes. Families are smaller, fewer
people are farming and often
people living in farm homes are
attending churches in the city or
town where they work. Travelling
is so much easier now.
Some churches have fewer young
couples and more senior members.
There are more social expectations
and a loss of leisure time.
Travelling, shopping and sports -,re
done on Sundays now.
Who or what brought us into our
faith? Role models were given with
Sunday School teachers and
ministers being among the
influential ones.
Being accepted and welcomed
into the church is important. Young
Peoples and UCW were a
necessity.
Members were told that the M
and S funds increased last year and
that it was the rural churches that
made the increase. Finally,
members were asked, "Community
Winners were: high lady,
Mildred Lawlor; low lady, Suzanne
Schultz; high man, Sean Martens;
low man, Bernice McClinchey
(playing as a man); novelty prize,
Dorothy Daer.
- what is there and what can we
do?"
Church and religion must
continue, Christians accept change.
Remember, older members arc an
influence on young lives and Bible
readings will lead into daily lives.
Remember that whether black,
yellow, red or white people are one.
Five tables were played again
with the winners being: high lady,
Erma Cartwright; low lady, Evelyn
Christensen; high man, Billy
McCormick; low man, Shawn
Hakkers; novelty, Heather Hakkers.
