Continued from page 1 was,” he said. “It was definitely something unique.” Townsend, having won at the local match again this year, will compete at the International Plowing Match in Lindsay, Ontario next October. He said that he hopes to get back to the national competition and earn the champion title. “I’ll be practising and I might add some more things to the plow,” he said. “But practice is the big thing. I’m going to practise more and more.” He said that was his big takeaway from the event: that he wanted to do better and the best way to do that is to get out in the field and start plowing. Townsend has several more competitive years as a Junior and he said he wants to make sure he continues to be at the top of his game and continue to do his best.

Gayle lit the Christ candle on the altar table which was beautifully decorated for Thanksgiving. She invited everyone to greet one another before singing the first hymn, “It’s a Song of Praise to the Maker.” The call to worship was repeated responsively and the opening prayer was said in unison. For the children’s story, Gayle read the story of a little girl being kind to those she met. A prayer was said followed by the singing of the children’s hymn, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” The Gospel reading was from Luke 17: 11-19: The story of the ten lepers healed by Jesus. The choir sang the anthem, “Praise God for the Harvest.” Gayle’s message to the congregation was the story of the lepers and how Jesus healed them so they could go into the temple and also the story of the volunteers of Gander, Newfoundland on 9/11 when all the planes landed in Gander and there were thousands of people in need of help. This is a special time of the year to be thankful, for our families, friends and neighbours. We should never forget that Jesus loves us all just the way we are. The next hymn “Come You Thankful People, Come.” Gayle read a story from the minute for missions booklet. The offering was received followed by the singing of the response, “What Can I Do?” the offertory prayer, the prayers for the people and the singing of the Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn, “I’m Gonna Live So God Can Use Me”, was followed by the commissioning and the benediction and the singing of the response, “Wherever You May Go, I Will Follow.” Everyone was invited for coffee and fellowship.
