Leona McDonald greeted
worshippers at Duff's United
Church on Oct. 20. Rev. James
Murray led the congregation in the
Call to Worship and ,the opening
hymn Praise God, Praise God.
After scripture was read Rev.
Murray announced that his
Covenanting Service will be on
Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. A reminder was
given of the Fall Turkey Supper
coming up on Nov. 6.
He called the young worshippers
forward and showed them two
coins. One was a tooney and the
other was a replica of a Roman
coin used during Jesus day. He
pointed out how each coin had a
picture of a ruler on it.
The tooney has Queen Elizabeth
II on it and the Latin phrase
meaning, 'By the grace of God'...I
am queen.
The Roman coin more or less
said that their emperor was God. So
the Pharisees knew that they had
Jesus in a tough position when they
asked him if they should pay
Caesar or not, Rev. Murray said.
But Jesus gave them a peaceful
alternative answer. He found a new
The Music Makin' Moms
entertained a large crowd at Knox
Presbyterian Church last Friday.
The guests also enjoyed refresh-
ments following the toe-tapping,
sing-a-long event presented by this
talented ensemble of four.
On Sunday, Oct. 20, Knox
Presbyterian celebrated its 131st
anniversary. Rev. Cathrine Camp-
bell presided over the service and
Melinda Exel, flutist, and Madelaine
Steiss, church organist, provided
beautiful music, including a duet. A
way to be right. He calls Christians
to find a new way to work out their
problems and to live their lives.
Don McDonald, accompanied at
the piano by Marion Godkin,
touched many hearts with his
singing of How Great Thou Art.
Rev. Murray's sermon was
called, 'Who Do You Belong To?'
In Jesus' day, Israel became an
occupied territory when the
Romans invaded it. So with the
invasion came the introduction of
Roman ideas and Roman ways of
doing things. The Jews, having a
strong sense of who they were, and
a strict definition of what it meant
to be a Jew, faced many new
challenges as to how they could
remain a faithful Jew and live with
the Romans and their ways.
The people were faced with the
painful option, he said, of giving in
and losing their religion, or fighting
a hopeless battle against that
world's greatest super power. In the
face of such a terrible dilemma,
Jesus offered a creative solution.
He said, "GiVe to Caesar what is
Caesar's, and give to God what is
God's."
memorable morning was enjoyed
by the large number in attendance.

Congratulations to the Walton
cross-country runners who
participated in the run at Hullett
school last week. The Walton kids
ran in the 10 and under age group
and competed in a group of 45-50
runners. Krista Shortreed made it in
the top 20 for the girls and Adam
McClure got in at the low 30s.
Mrs. Vivian said they all did
exceptionally well and was very
proud of them. She wanted to thank
Kelsey Bennewies for being the
spotter. The kids celebrated by
having a pizza party the next day.
The Grade Is have been using
their senses to discover different
smells and feeling different
textures. They had fun feeling some
'slime' and smelling cooked
pumpkin seeds.
The Grade 3/4s are working in a
unit called 'Monsters and More.' In

lost those roles forever. He said he
believes in the face of this loss,
Christians are being offered the
chance to return to their original
role.
"God call us to be a beacon of
light in a dark world. To be in the
world, but not of the world. To
witness to the love of God in our
lives. Jesus recognized the reality
of living in a complex society
where our loyalties are often
divided. He wants us to recognize
that we belong to God, while at the
same time we must live responsibly
with all, our neighbours. In all
things, we belong to God. And
hopefully, God belongs to us."
keeping with Halloween they will
be writing stories about monsters
and have begun writing about
pumpkins. In math the kids are
becoming very proficient at reading
numerals up to 999999.

There will be a craft sale at the
Walton Hall on Saturday, Oct. 26.
Instead of choosing sides, instead
of deciding between either/or, Jesus
chose both, Rev. Murray said. "He
said that you can pay taxes and still
be faithful to God. Jesus is saying
we belong to this world and God's
world at the same time. We do not
have to choose. We have dual
citizenship. Even if we are ruled by
people who may think they are
gods, we can live as a person of
faith. We can still choose to be
Christian, even if we no longer live
in a Christian nation. This is the
new way to be faithful."
The days of the church being the
centre of the community are over,
Rev. Murray said. "We are no
longer the place where people go to
