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. Clerk of
Session, Leona McDonald, came
forward and after shaking hands

going pretty well until they were
startled by girls screaming. The
three older girls saw a snake! That

flowerbeds and found all kinds of
snails. The kids then built homes
It was bus safety at Walton

and practised how to evacuate the
bus via the emergency windows
and the back door.
The Early Years students worked
on the letter 'L*. They ate licorice
laces and licked lovely lollipops.
The Grade Is painted farm
pictures and finished up their farm
design projects. There were bams,
wagons, fences and houses made
from jinx wood, lids, popsicle for their snails out of pop bottles

projects, thus learning what an
inventor or architect would have to
do in order to make anything.
In the Grade 2/3 class they have
been studying snails. They took a
walk up to the gravel pit in search
of snails. Travelling with them was

they favoured and found out that
