It wasn't until he entered a United Church some years later that he began to spiritually live. He summed it up in one word - freedom. He loves the United Church because of this freedom. He said that no one has seen God. No one! To him that is very reassuring. There are no experts here. He said that all are as close to God as anyone standing in the pulpit. This knowledge frees us to relate to any human being, he said. We all have unique stories and need to share them with others. He believes that we are all born with God's Spirit and are made a little lower than the angels. He thinks that we should be emphasizing the positive in us and not always dwelling on the darkness within. People should leave the church on a high, not on a downer. How can self-esteem be built up if we are always being told what wretches we are? Christ marches out from the resurrection to free us to be more understanding, tolerant and approachable. We are best as a Church when we realize that we don't have the monopoly on the Truth. The prerequisite for Christ-filled living is to 'love one another'. We try to separate the 'love of God' from 'love of self and others' and we can't do that. We have troubles loving our brothers and sisters whom we can see and yet we say we love God whom we can't see. Don Sills shared his gift of music once again and sang How Great Thou Art. During the presentation of the offering the choir sang Jesus Gives the Bread accompanied on the piano by Margery Huether. Rev. Banks gave what he called 'A Duff's Church Historical Vignette - Rev. David Forrest.' He was the fourth Presbyterian minister to preach at the Church from 1889-1899. From an old history book belonging to the church Rev. Banks read this about Rev. Forrest - 'He was faithful in the pulpit and in the home and his sympathetic disposi- tion won him a place in the hearts of all to whom he ministered. Rev. Banks enjoyed researching the previous ministers and he said that he felt almost as if he knew them. Holy Communion was served by Rev. Banks, Rev. Johnston, Karen Hoegy and Ian Wilbee. Lunch was served after the service and a good crowd stayed to enjoy the food and fellowship. Microman_ The Ultimate Computer Store Full selection of computers, accessories and stationery supplies.

Wlt The news from a on Compiled by Patty Banks Phone 887-6860 Former pastor guest at Duff's Although it was dull looking 13. Then he said that he grew up in outside Sunday, June 11 it was a born again Christian home where anything but, inside Duff s United Church as the congregation celebrated the 70th anniversary of the United Church and 130 years of Presbyterian and United Church work and witness. With friendly greetings from Neil and Marie McGavin people came into a sanctuary filled with flowers of every description and music being played by Phyllis Mitchell, Glenda Carter and Margery Huether. After the Call to Worship Rev. Randy Banks reminded everyone that next Sunday the service will be held outdoors and people are to bring their lawn chairs. Afterwards there will be an old fashioned family Sunday School picnic and everyone is to bring a pot luck lunch. There will be several barbecues going for those with meat to cook. Rev. Banks also announced the 'Country Supper Smorgasbord' on June 25. He then welcomed Don Sills, the guest soloist who sang Amazing Grace. Margery Huether accom- panied him on the piano. Don is from Seaforth and attends St. Michael's High School in Stratford. He is 17 and has been singing since he was in Grade 4. His voice teacher is Mrs. Joan Gaffney of Mitchell. For the past eight years Don has sung with the Perth County Youth Choir. The choir sang Praise the Lord. Rev. Banks then called the children forward and asked them if they knew what anniversary meant. Some answered that it has to do with being married. Rev. Banks said that it could be any important date, like the anniversary of a wisdom tooth pulled, a wedding or the date of the first church built on this site. He told them that 130 years ago the church that was built here was a Presbyterian Church. Then in 1925, June 10 the first United Church came into being. Rev. Banks motioned for the children to look at the 17 framed photos of the ministers of this church displayed at the back of the church. He told them that one of those ministers was Rev. David Forrest and with that he asked Phyllis Ede of Stratford and David Forrest Rollings, Churchville, grandchildren of the late minister, to stand. After welcoming them to the service Rev. Banks then drew the children's attention to the large quilt that was displayed at the side. He asked Geoffrey Banks and Sarah McDonald to come and read some of the names that were on the quilt. The quilt had been given to Rev. Forrest upon his retirement and Mrs. Ede had donated it to Duff's Church. Rev. Banks then introduced Rev. Al Johnston, a retired United Church minister who used to have the Brussels/Ethel charge. He and his wife Joyce travelled up from St. Williams, near Brampton to be the guest minister. He told the congregation that when asked what he didn't like about being retired he said it was that he never gets a day off. Rev. Al began his sermon, which was called, 'Seeing is Believing - Not', by paraphrasing 1 Corinthians As I was heading into Brussels the other day I glanced at the sign at McGavin's, which for the past while has read "It's a girl! Congrats to Shelley and Brian." Well out of the corner of my eye I noticed the word 'boy' and I thought someone has been messing with the sign. It wasn't until closer inspection that I noticed it said, 'It's a boy! Congrats Jeff and Shannon. Welcome Jacob Jeffrey to the world and Walton. He is the fourth generation to carry the initials J.J. The Craigs held their family reunion at the Walton Hall on June 10. Margaret and Harvey Craig's daughter Sherrill Christian flew all the way from Delaware to join them. It was an extra special occasion as they celebrated Harvey's 85th birthday (actual date is July 17). Harvey said that he was the oldest one there' and a baby from London was the youngest.
