THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21,1997 WaltonThe news from Grade 2/3 class goes to pit Compiled by Patty Banks Phone 887-6156 Duff’s United parish confirms 9 youths Melva Fraser greeted worship­ pers at Duffs United Church on May 18, Pentecost Sunday. This was Confirmation Sunday as well and after Rev. James Murray welcomed everyone, he said that the children would be participating in the service. Kevin Wilbee and Robbie McClure then gave the Call to Worship. After singing the Introit Come Let Us Sing of a Wonderful Love, Kenny McCallum said the Prayer of Gathering. Darryl Houston, Paul Linton and Trisha McClure read scripture from the book of Acts. The choir then sang, Raise Up a Child. Rev. Murray called the young worshippers forward and showed them a wooden chain which he called a 'Whittier's Challenge'. The children looked at it and he asked them how they thought that it was put together. The links were all solid, there were no openings at all. Well they couldn't figure it out. So Rev. Murray told them that it was all carved from one block of wood. When you get that good you are called a master craftsman. He told them that people are all links in a chain together; that they are all part of the same body. They all have their part to play in the chain. Nine young people were being confirmed on Sunday. Rev. Murray said when they were baptized as babies their parents spoke for them, but today they become full members of the church, speaking for themselves, saying they now want to be part of the chain. He then called Kevin Wilbee, Trisha McClure, Darryl Houston, Paul and Jeff Linton, Scott McDonald, Darrell McClure, Ken McCallum, and Rob McClure to the front where James performed the act of confirmation.
