FROM BELGRAVE
Jonah,
topic
at Knox
service
Rev. Ethel Miner Clare welcomed
worshippers at Knox United Church
on Sunday. Jan. 26.
The Lord's Prayer was sung.
The senior choir sang Rejoice.
Psalm 62 was the responsive
reading.
The children occupied the front
pews for story time. Rev. Miner
Clare told the children she had
decided she wanted to build a house
and asked them what she would
need to do so. She had brought a
tool box. The children replied with
suitable answers.
When the children were asked
what was needed to build a church
they replied saying items such as
bricks, windows, paintbrushes, etc.
“Building a church is much
different than building a house. The
church is not the building, it is the
people and the church family,” she
said.
Andrew Procter and Ken Procter
took up the offering.
The sermon was based on the
story of Jonah. God had spoken to
Jonah and asked him to go to the
city of Nineveh. The people there
were doing bad things and Jonah
was supposed to tell them to stop.
Jonah did not obey God. He got on a
big ship and tried to sail away from
God. God knew where Jonah was,
and he sent a big storm.
The sailors wondered why the
storm had come. Jonah said it was
because of him and if they threw
Jonah into the sea the storm would
stop, so they did.
A big fish swam up and
swallowed Jonah. Inside the fish
Jonah prayed and prayed. After
three days and nights God saved
him.
Then God told Jonah to go to
Ninevah. The people listened to
Jonah.

potluck
luncheon
The Women's Institute hosted a
potluck lunch for 42 members and
friends with Rev. John Roberts
saying Grace.
The program convenor, Mary
Coultes read New Year’s thoughts
for 2003 entitled Do It Now, then
introduced Murray Hunter, a retired
history teacher who showed slides
and told the story of his travels in
Ireland.
The pictures showed a country of
many lakes, mountains and trees,
being both rugged and beautiful.
There are many religious
monuments in the cities of Dublin,
Belfast and Cork as well as the
towns and villages. The monasteries
were built many years ago where
religious, agricultural and
educational classes were taught by
the monks. They were often found in
remote areas, a distance from cities.
In early times the Celtic crosses
erected in cemeteries were carved
with scenes from Bible stories.
The wealthy landowners built
large castles of stone but the tenant
farmers have small huts of logs. In
the villages the homes were more
brightly coloured, indicating the
typical fun-loving people.
In the country the fuel for heating
and cooking is often peat, cut into
blocks from the logs.
Hunter visited the Giant’s
Causeway which has been formed
by eight-sided rocks of different
sizes and various colours. The origin
of the rocks is still disputed.
He visited St. Patrick’s burial
place and the Blarney Stone site as
well as places where conflicts have
erupted between Protestants and
Roman Catholics. Mrs. Coultes
thanked him for his presentation and
asked everyone to join in singing
some Irish and Scottish songs.
For the business meeting Kay
Roberts presided with the minutes of
the previous meeting and financial
report given by Dianne Robinson.
An invitation was received from the
Auburn WI to attend a dessert
euchre in February.
The prize list for the school fair
classes sponsored by the WI was
compiled by Isabel Campbell. The
dates for catering during the summer
were announced.
It was decided to sponsor Nancy
Jardin in the Walk for Memories on
Saturday, Jan. 25.
The roll call was answered by
naming an Irish song.
The next potluck lunch will be on
Feb. 4 with the speaker being Harley
Gaunt, chief of Wingham Fire
Department.

Prof. Bill Andrews.
