Greeting everyone on May 16 at Knox United was Bob and Shelley Worsell and family. Bernice Gross was organist for the service. In invitation to worship Rev. Paul Ross reminded all that as God’s people they must worship together. Rev. Ross told them they all have a place in this world. Rev. Ross continued with scripture from Psalm. Trust in God he is rock and fortress. He continued from John 14, the disciples did not think that they knew the way to follow Him. Jesus said, “I am in the Father - believe in me you also believe in God, ask in my name and your wants will be granted’’. The sermon was on “Green Ribbons”. Rev. Ross spoke about the change in the world, the condition of rural areas and towns. Neighbours are not known the same, people come and leave so much quicker than years ago. He also spoke of the need for rain - farmers are beginning to worry but feel that help will come from God. Rev. Ross spoke of a lady in Dakota - things were in more danger there than here at that time - the farmers were very worried. Margaret Bruce of Dakota understood their worry. She purchased green ribbon and fastened it on small plaques on which she wrote “We care and understand”. She sent these ribboned tags to the farmers. They really were a blessing, they knew that God would help and rain would come. The green ribbons are spreading and used throughout the USA. New plans are made by the churches to start the green ribbon tags here. They trust that in Christ’s name it will be successful. Rev. Ross also spoke of how big companies are taking over smaller ones and will soon be in control of rural industries. “We must pray for God’s help,” he said.
