Losing patience,
topic of sermon
Rev. Paul Ross welcomed the
Knox United congregation at 9:45
a.m. on Aug. 22 and lit the Christ
candle.
Pianist was Bernice Gross.
Special notice was given of a
rural event by various churches on
Aug. 24 at Exeter Rec. Centre. This
is presented by Bill and Judy
Hefferan. The title is A Different
Road.
The scripture was from Job 23
and 31. He is wishing that it could
be understood that he has done no
wrong and that God would answer
him.
In Matthew 10 Jesus said that to
believe in Him was to believe in
God and to give help to those in
need.
Rev. Ross’s sermon was on
Losing Patience. In life, one does
need patience. Things happen that
are not understood but by patience
the truth will come. Christ was an
example of using patience and
people should follow his example,
Rev. Ross said.
Greg Park received and presented
the offering.

Grange visited with Ethel Ball at
her cottage. A number of her
