Child the Saviour Came, the children in the congregation were asked to participate in the baptismal ceremony, Michael John Van Wyk and Matthew James Van Wyk, twin sons of Rick and Laurie Van Wyk and Bryce William Glousher, son of Bill and Karen Glousher were initiated into the body of Christ in an impressive baptismal ceremony. Rev. Huntley delivered a sermon entitled "Honouring God." He said, "We honour God with the sacrifice of ourselves and He gives us back that life in abundance. In baptism, the child can't honour commitment so the parents do it in our tradition, trusting God as they place the baby's life in His hands!" The hymn, Guide Me, 0 Thou Great Jehovah and This Is My Father's World was sung. In hospital is Ron Baird in University, London and Cenetta Bainton in Clinton.
