The Legion Pipe Band led the way for this special memorial service. Rev. Nancy Beale of St. John's Anglican officiated. Servanthood, sermon topic Doris Gascho, pastor from the Mennonite Conference was guest speaker at the Brussels Mennonite Fellowship Sunday service on June 30. She pointed out that servanthood is costly, and often lonely. She reviewed the story of the woman who was healed by working her way unnoticed through the crowd and touching Jesus' garments. Jesus knew immediately that someone had been healed and demanded to know who had touched Him. Her faith became a public legend, and is still known today through scrip- tures. In the faith community, secrets are exposed. Everyone needs a place where tears and fears and understood. "No matter what the situation, we are still loved by God in the same way," Gascho said. Mervin Lichty was song leader and Lauris Boltz was pianist. Andrea Dettweiler played the offertory. Next Sunday, Harold Shantz from the Mrlverton congregation will bring the message. bituaries ALEXANDER BOYCE KEITH Alexander Boyce Keith passed away June 14, 1996, at Port Col- borne, in his 95th year.
