Linda Garland leads Mennonite service Linda Garland gave the message at Brussels Mennonite Fellowship on Sunday, Aug. 20. She spoke on building castles and turning war into peace. Acts 14:36-41 was the selected scripture passage, telling the story of a disagreement between Paul and Bamabas. Garland pointed out that it is important to acknowledge disagreements, to work them through in the most appropriate manner, and to allow God to work in the situation. There are good and bad ways to deal with conflict. Listening is the key. In the Cain and Abel conflict, constructive dialogue did not occur, as it did in the Abram and Lot conflict. Some things are not even worth disagreeing about. Paul and Barnabas were both strong people Greeters at Blyth United Church on Aug. 27 were Les and Shirley Rutledge. Ushers were Joan, Shawn, Erica and Ross Clark. Nursery was under the charge of Brenda Burkholder. Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise was sung. The Old Testament lesson was Jeremiah 1, 4-10. Psalm 67 "0 God be gracious" was read responsively. The choir anthem was God Will Take Care of You, accompanied by Phyllis Boak, music director. The children's conversation was about Jesus seeing a lady who was very sad, walking, looking at the ground. For 18 years she had been sad because she had a lot of worries. Jesus saw her and said, "You are not meant to be like this." He reached out and touched her and told her to stand up. Other people said this shouldn't have been done on Sunday. Jesus said, "You treat your animals and give them food and water on the Sabbath. Why should this woman not be set free?" The New Testament lesson from Hebrews 12, 18-29 was read by Rev. Diamond. The Gospel lesson from Luke 13, 10-17 was read by Harvey Snell. Rev. Diamond's sermon was "Our God is a consuming fire." and it was probably best that they went their separate ways. We need to allow God to work in us and then see what castles we can build. Thelma Steinman was worship leader for the service and Anne Hemingway was pianist while Mervin Lichty led the singing. The Mennonite church also held a service at Huronlea on Sunday afternoon. At this service, Mervin Lichty was worship leader, and Elwin Garland gave the meditation. Manivan Larprom was in charge of the singing for the service and the Lichty family provided special music. Thelma Steinman was worship leader again for the Aug. 27 service. Pastor Fred Lichti from Listowel Mennonite Church was The problem for Christians, Rev. Diamond said, is that they avoid the reality. "God is a consuming fire, rather than a warm glow. Churches should be built as places in which we are shaken, or even moved; not as places of respite." "My task is to make the modern world credible to the Bible. To dare you and I to listen to this troublesome voice, more than to our own, to open up the gap between ourselves and God rather than to close it because it's in the gaps, in the open spaces that we can be free to roam, dream dreams, hear a new word, see a new world. Come to this kingdom which cannot be shaken!" Jerusalem the Golden was sung, followed by Pastoral Prayer and The Lord's Prayer. The closing hymn was Tell Me the Old, Old Story, which was followed by Commissioning and Benediction. In Clinton hospital are Ralph Caldwell and Luella McGowan. There will be no church services next Sunday, Sept. 3. Sunday school and church will both start at 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 10. Rev. Diamond will be away from Monday to Sunday. For personal emergencies contact Rev. Randy Banks, 887-6540, Walton. Session meeting is Sept. 12 at 8 the guest speaker. He spoke from Joshua 1:1-11 on the theme ''Moses is Dead. Where is Joshua?" He talked about transition when a new leader takes over a group, and stressed the necessity of looking to the future and putting the past behind us. New leaders bring new visions. He also spoke about some of the qualities necessary for effective leadership. Manivan Larprom was pianist and Phailop Larprom led the congregational singing, Manivan also ministered to the congregation through music by singing a solo.
