THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1995. Guest Rev. Alan Rush speaks to United congregation The Calvin-Brick United Church sanctuary was adorned with colourful flower arrangements for the anniversary on Sunday, June 11. Handing out the worship service pamphlets were Michael, Ron and David McBurney and Robbie McGee. Piano prelude of sacred music was presented by Mrs. Jessie McGee who welcomed members, friends as well as Knox United Church worshippers. Rev. Mary Jane Hobden introduced and welcomed her husband, Rev. Alan Rush, who was the guest preacher for the anniversary service. Rev. Rush explained that it was a new experience for him to be standing at this end of the sanctuary. It was the first worship in which he had helped to preside since his ordination, and also the second time that Mary Jane and he had planned and presided together. Since his graduation he has attended the annual meeting of London Conference and his Mabel's Moms met at the home of Mabel Wheeler on Wednesday, June 7.

Now he and Mary Jane are starting to fill their first boxes as they prepare to move to the new manse. He has had time to enjoy flowers, lawns as well as do some reading, watch movies, trying to relax before starting his ministry in July at Bervie and Kinloss. The sermon centred around Psalm 8. "When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established ... 0 Lord our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!" We can imagine the scene of the Psalm writer - standing out in the Middle Eastern night in one of the towns or cities, or in the hills or the pasturelands alone, he said, in an age before machinery standing in silence and looking up to see, through a clear and unpolluted sky, the thousands of stars sparkling in the night sky. Mitchell and Janelle; Donna Raynard, Trevor and Heidi; Corry and Ryan Swanson; Lila Procter and Ben; Sherri Sippel, Christie, Scott and Niel; Sherry Taylor and Brandon and Rev. Mary Jane Hobden. The topic chosen for discussion was "Baby Sitters". Ann Garniss, the Junior 4-H leader had everyone study four different pictures to see how their judging skills were. Achievement Day was discussed and what each person should bring. The meeting closed with the 4-H Motto. Rev. Rush stated that for most of his life this was impossible. He grew up in Windsor about a half mile from a factory. There was a lot of smog from Windsor and Detroit. This meant that you could really only see a few of the thousands of stars in the night sky. When he was 17 he spent a summer in the Ontario Junior Rangers program and lived in a camp just outside Cochrane. For the first time in his life he was able to look up and see the sky packed with stars. For over 10 billion years this universe has been growing, forming, changing. The God of the Universe is also the God that speaks out of the mouths of babes and infants as this psalm holds, the God who has spoken through and to people, the God whom we know through life and ministry of Jesus, who taught, healed, loved and to one whom we call Christ. Somehow this God of the Universe is also the God who is in each one of us. This faith has prayer. Roll call was answered by a favourite flower. Margaret Siertsema gave the secretary's report and Ivy Cloakey, the treasurer's report. Twenty-eight sick and shut-in visits were recorded. July 3 will be the next meeting. Alice Nicholson read a story on "The Common Threads" and also a poem "The Difference". The hostess served lunch and a social time followed. UCW talks of righteousness Continued from page 9 program having as her theme "Let Justice Roll Down Like Waters and Righteousness Like An Ever- flowing Stream." This included thoughts from Rev. Lois Wilson's addresses, which she heard at Westminster Weekend. The meeting closed with a benediction follciwed by lunch served by Irene Lamont and Lois Anderson. travelled through times of different increasing understandings of who we are, and what our world and universe is. We know more about ourselves and our world than people 100 years ago could scarcely have imagined. We continue to learn how to live with each other with the rest of creation in a love as boundless as the love of God. What does it mean to call ourselves a little less than Ood, when the God who is revealed to us in Christ, is a God of boundless, infinite, and suffering, Love. It is the work of love that makes each additional year which we can look back upon and celebrate. It is the work of love which makes our continuing journey into the future so exciting. In a way that is infinitely more complex than this Psalm writer could have imagined, we are all of us - Beloved creations of God. For the children's time Rev. Rush set up a campSite in front of the church. The children gathered at the front of the pews. They were asked such questions as, "Have you ever gone camping?" "What do you like best about camping?" "Have you ever laid back and looked at the stars at night?" "What does the night sky look like when you are away from the city or yard lights?" The children laid down and pretended they were on a camping trip on a dark hill at night looking at the sky. There are so many stars and space is so big that it is hard to even imagine it. . God seems big like the night sky, Rev. Rush said. God is the creator of our world Trinity Sunday is a special day each year that helps increase understanding of how God can be so big and yet so close. Rev. Mary Jane read from the Gospel of John 16, verses 5 - 15. The youth choir delighted the congregation with Rock of My Soul, You've Gotta Sing and Inners and ()users.
