Congregation worships in renovated basement The congregation of Dutt 's United Church met for worship in the newly-renovated basement, Sunday. Gfeeting worshippers were Ross and Margaret Bennett, Abby McGavin and Adam McClure. Following the opening a litany was presented by Joan Tuchlinsky, Lavern Godkin, Brandon McGavin, Laura Black. Heidi McClure and Kevin Wilbee. Darryl Morrison presented the Minute for Missions. It was about the Harvest Kitchen program started in Parry Sound — all because of an abundance of zucchinis: Someone had the idea to share the excess vegetables from producers with needy families and the Harvest Share program was started. Meals are provided in the Harvest Kitchen to those in need, but monetary donations through the Mission and Service Fund are also needed to supplement the meals. Neil McGavin read the scripture. Joan's reflection was on the gift of differences. Her daughter Bethany showed the children friendship bracelets she had made. One was solid pink and the other was three colours. The tri-colour bracelet was more vibrant The church community needs to celebrate differences and share gifts, to work together to enrich church lives. To be able to make use of each other's different gifts, to compromise, to be able to listen and work together can only make our church family stronger. Joan then thanked the hard working renovation committee of Teresa Baan, Heidi McClure, Monique Baan and Shelley McGavin. Teresa Baan was called to the front and she recounted the five months worth of work, how it started and how it progressed with the help of many members of the congregation. She thanked everyone who contributed their time and talents. Joan blessed and expressed gratitude for the diversity of gifts and talents of those who worked to create the new space for all to enjoy.
