Baptism celebrated at Knox
Steve Nixon and family greeted
worshippers at Knox United Church
on Sunday, Jan. 12.
Rev. Ethel Miner Clare welcomed
the congregation followed by the
singing of Now Thank We All Our
God and Amazing Grace
accompanied by Elizabeth Procter.
The senior choir sang / Was There
to Hear Your Bottling
Cry.
The responsive reading was Psalm
29.
The children congregated in the
front pews and were asked by the
minister, what they thought was
going to happen today. The children
said, “Baptism”.
Rev. Miner Clare then asked them
what she needed for it. They
answered water, person, minister
and God.
Dorothy Coultes, clerk of session
presented the babies to be baptized:
Aidan, daughter of Jason Lee and
Shannon Philipps, and Tyson, son of
Steven and Heather Michie.
The parents of the children were!
presented with a candle lit by the
babies’ siblings.
They are to light it at special times .
in Aidan and Tyson’s lives to help
remember their baptism and be
thankful.
Doreen Marks, Session member
presented each family with a
Certificate of Baptism. The Sunday
School presented them with a flower
arrangement.
The scripture lessons were taken
from Genesis I: 1-5 which tells of
the story of faith and that God is in
all creations; Acts 19: 1-7, telling of
the disciples that were baptized in
the name of the Lord Jesus and Mark
1: 4-11 which tells of Jesus being
baptized by John in the Jordan. As
soon as Jesus came up out of the
water. He saw Heaven opening and
the spirit coming down on Him like
a dove.
The theme for the sermon also
reflected on baptism.
John Nixon, Steve Nixon, Chris
Cottrill, and Carl Procter took up the
offering.

had finished second at Zone level
but the first place team was unable to
attend this weekend’s tournament, so
Brussels went. They played in
Harriston at 8 a.m. against Arthur
and were defeated 5-1.
In the second game they were
defeated by Elora 8-1 and in the final
game were defeated by Flesherton 7-
1.
They were playing short staffed in
the last two games, but did not give
up and played with a lot of heart.
Congratulations to the team for a
fine effort.
