munity Hospital on Saturday, Nov.
25, 1995. He was 80.

Anne Hemingway was worship
leader at Brussels Mennonite
Fellowship on Sunday, Nov. 26.
The scripture lesson for the service
was 1 Peter 1: 3-5.
Carl Siemon gave the message.
He pointed out that we are doing
people no favour if we don't tell
them the truth about God. Jesus
said we must be "Born Again", yet
many good living people don't
really know what that means.
Siemon asked a few soul-
searching questions such as: "Are
we really listening?" "Are our
children afraid to talk to us?" "Are
we taking responsibility for our
children?" We must deal with a
child with meekness .and
gentleness. He stated that once
someone has truly accepted Christ,
he will want to study the scriptures,
and they will have a new meaning
for us. Jesus does not want to
condemn us; He wants us to come.
Some of the youth group, Lyle
Hemingway, Dave Becker, Joel
Greenwood and Terry Pardys
introduced the message with a
drama presentation. Lloyd and Erla
Koch provided special music by
way of a duct, entitled "Without
Him".-Tim Procter played for the
offertory.
