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. 13 tables at Belgrave shoot There were 13 tables of shoot in play at Belgrave Community Centre on Friday, Jan. 24.

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.
