Organ prelude before the Knox
United service welcomed all on
April 13 at 10 a.m. Nancy Park was
the organist for the day.
The service opened with the
hymn This is the Day that the Lord
Hath Made. Rev. Paul Ross
welcomed and gave the church
announcements.
The junior choir, under the
direction of Shelley Worsell,
favoured the congregation with an
inspiring hymn. Rev. Ross then
spoke to God in prayer. The
congregation sang Jesus Stands
Among Us.
The first Bible meditation was
narrated by Rev. Ross from
Jeremiah I. In this God spoke to
Jeremiah and told him to go
wherever God sent him, and to
follow His word in work and
speech.
Three young men, Joel Arthur,
Chris Carter and Graham Worsell,
were called to the front along with
elder, Larry Plaetzer. They were
given words of instruction for
celebrating their Confirmation and
establishing their covenant in God's
church. Close relatives were there
for the laying-on-of-hands. Gifts
and certificates were given
followed by confirmation prayer.
The hymn Speak Forth Your
Word was sung. The children went
to their Sunday School classes.
Rev. Ross narrated from Timothy
4 about guiding of oneself to God
in everything in life. The second
New Testament reading was from
Luke 2. In this, at 12 years old,
Christ stayed behind in Jerusalem
talking to church leaders as his
family left for home. He surprised
the elders with his answers and
questions. The Bible readings
closed with a prayer for God's help.
The sermon, "Believe in
Yourself", was special for the
young people present. Questions
were given followed by answers.
Why and how do I pray? Will my
prayers be answered? Will Jesus
return to Earth?
In the latter, Rev. Ross said
people know that though Christ is
not with them in body anymore He
is always with them in spirit.
He closed with prayer.
The hymn Holy Spirit, Lord of
Love was sung. A number from the
congregation were called to the
front to receive certificates for
participating in "Hearing the New
Testament Tapes". Rev. Ross and
Larry Plaetzer presented these.
A prayer of thanks for the word
of God was then given followed by
The Lord's Prayer.
Collection was received and
doxology and offertory prayer
given. The closing hymn was We
Thank Thee All Our God, followed
by Benediction and Amens.
The congregation was welcomed
downstairs for a reception and
lunch for the new members.
