Blyth United Sunday School presents awards It was Trinity Sunday at Blyth United Church June 11. The seasonal colour is white. Ushers were Marilyn and Don Craig and Fred and Debbie Hakkers with Lorna Fraser greeting. It was also Sunday School award Sunday. Proceeding opening hymn, Holy, Holy, Holy, Sunday School leader Donna Moore, assisted by Janice Peters and Joan Caldwell presented awards for perfect attendance in the various classes. Sunday, June 11 was a special day at Brussels Mennonite Fellow- ship. Phailop Larprom was baptized, and welcomed into church membership. Christine Knorr had been baptized in 1992, but was also welcomed into the church by membership at the Sunday service. Both young people have been active in the church and have been blessings to the congre- gation for some time. During the service the two sang a duet, I Have Virginia Stright, Lorraine Came and Pastor Came sang a lovely trio number Glorious Freedom at Auburn Missionary Church on Sunday, June 11. Pastor Bob Lewis and Steve Campbell put on a short drama, "Getting Ready for the Race." The congregation learned there are many things that can hinder people in the race in life to keep them away from God. Pastor Carne's message was Rev. Huntley's message to the children and the congregation was explaining, "Trinity". He said, "Trinity is in three parts. The first part is 'God the Father, the second is 'Jesus the Man' and the third is 'The Holy Spirit'." It is something like a marriage, he said. "In a marriage you have a relationship, a contract and a commitment. If one is missing, we are lost." Bev Snell, chair of session, announced the new Sunday School Decided to Follow Jesus. Elwin Garland was worship leader for the service and Thelma Steinman and Kathy Procter were song leader and pianist. Pastor Tom Warner gave the message based on 1 Peter 3: 8-22. People are connected in the Chris- tian community because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are raised with Christ once we choose to no longer be Lord of our own lives, but to accept Jesus as our own personal Lord. We need each "Symbols of Pentecost" with scripture read from Acts 2: 1-8 and Luke 3: 15-17. In St. Luke 3, it tells of John baptizing which signifies cleansing, but there is the greater baptism of the Holy Spirit, he said. There must be repentance which is a change of mind as you go the opposite way. Fire symbolizes cleansing but a deeper cleansing, a cleansing of attitudes. A person who has no heart cleansing will go back to sin main. We say to ourselves "I will format. Beginning in September, Sunday School will be held the same time as church service, with the children attending service for 15 - 20 minutes before going down to classes. This will be on a one-year trial. The change comes after the results of a survey taken during the past several weeks. The New Testament Lesson was from Romans, chapter 5, verses 1 5, read by Shirley Rutledge. The Gospel Lesson was from John 10: 12 - 15. other, and therefore need to join the Church, the Body of Christ, made up of confessed sinners. We are then expected to learn our gifts and how to serve the Lord in the Church, using our gifts. We've been made to serve, not sit. Our first connection is with God, our second connection is with each other. Service doesn't lead to salvation, but salvation causes us to serve- each other, Pastor Warner said. do what I want to do" so there is no renunciation of self. God wants to put an end to rebelliousness, Pastor Came said. "If you are stuck on yourself you will always be miserable." Another symbol of Pentecost is fluency. God enabled the church to do the work He wanted. The language of Pentecost is 'Love is spoken here'. We are cleansed of self-love and we have a love that ministers. Hymn Glory Be to God the. Father and How Great Thou Art was sung. Rev. Huntley congratulated everyone for the awards and reminded everyone about the picnic at Lions Park.
