Organist and pianist for the
worship service on Dec. 21 at Knox
United were Nancy Park and
Bernice Gross. A prelude of
Christmas music welcomed all to
the service.
Opening prayer was given by
Rev. Paul Ross followed by the
chorus O Come, O Come
Emmanuel.
The announcements were then
given. There will be a Christmas
Eve Service at Londesboro Church
at 7:30 p.m. Several traditional
Christmas Carols will be sung at
the beginning of the service on
Dec. 28.
The lighting of the Advent
Candle was then done - little
Danielle Bean lit the candle and
Rev. Ross and the congregation
gave the reading. For the 4th
Advent the white flower
representing purity with the
greenery for life graced the table.
The opening hymn was Herald!
Sound the Note of Judgement,
followed by prayer by Rev. Ross.
The children came to the front as
Go Tell it on the Mountain was
sung.
The article for the day was a
drum. Rev. Ross told a story of
children bringing gifts to a wee
baby. One little boy only had his
drum and the other children were
bringing gifts. He felt that a baby
would not want a drum as it was
too large and too noisy. So he
withdrew to a corner and softly
began to drum. Some people said,
"Stop, the baby will awake."
But the baby's mother said, "Go
ahead, he likes it!" The little boy
was pleased too.
The prayer for the children was
to always give what you can to help
others. The children went to their
classes. The hymn Lo, He Comes
with Clouds Ascending was then

Things got scaiy in the third after
Anderson scored his hattrick short

have Milverton come back with

Milverton back, while Anderson
continued the hit hard, notching his

game at the 2:46 mark. Kemighan
and Ryan McClinchey assisted.
STOP EATING WHEN
YOU'RE FULL, NOT STUFFED.
Develop eating habits that are in
harmony with your body's need for
food. Learn to eat when you're
hungry and stop when you're not.
Avoid hovering over the food table
at the Christmas party, or standing
beside the hostess with the
appetizers at the neighbourhood
open house. It'll be easier to control
the temptation to nibble.
sung.
Scripture was from Micah 5. The
prophecy that Micah gave was that
in the future a person would come
from Bethlehem. He would be the
strength and also the peace of the
children of Israel.
New Testament scripture was
Luke 1. Mary who was with child
went to visit her cousin Elizabeth
who was also pregnant. The leaping
of the babe in her womb brought to
her a message from God that
Mary's Babe would be the birth of
Christ.
The choir sang Hope is a Star
between the two scriptural
readings. After the Luke reading
Good Christian Friends Rejoice
was sung.
The topic for the sermon was
"The Search for Security".
Throughout the years there has
been war and rumours of war.
People have searched for security
and peace. Some may expect to
find it in the church and if
unsatisfied may look for it in
another cult or religion. They may
expect help immediately, however
stress and worry should be laid
aside. "We should live our lives as
God would have us do," Rev. Ross
said.
He gave a reading, from some
well known hymns that tell these
things. "We should give our lives in
his service with trust and faith,
peace will come."
The hymn Angels from the
Realms of Glory was sung. During
the receiving of the collection
Nancy Park and Bernice Gross
played a beautiful Christmas duet.
The offering was received and
thanks given in prayer closing with
The Lord's Prayer said in unison.
The closing hymn was Hark the
Herald Angels Sing. Rev. Ross
closed with the benediction. A
musical postlude closed the sacred
service.
Hearts are gladdened and faith is reaffirmed, as we celebrate His holy
birth in a humble manger. May all the gifts of Christmas be yours to
cherish throughout the season.
