Lentz-MacGregor.
The children’s hymn was My Faith
Looks Up to thee. The children’s
story was about walking a tightrope
over the Niagara River. Rev. Eugen
Bannerman asked them if they had
ever walked a tightrope.
There have been 12 people walk
the rope over the Niagara River. He
explained that most people carry a
stick with them for balance. One
man had walked the rope over and
back, then asked those watching if
anyone would ride on this back. One
person offered who happened to be
his manager. Rev. Bannerman
explained that the man had great
faith in this man, so they walked
over the river and back.
People too must have faith in God
and He will carry them through life,
he said.
Dramatized lectionary reading was
from Genesis 9: 8-17, read by Rev.
Bannerman, Brandilyn, Amanda and
Wyatt Bearss. The responsive
reading was the 22nd Psalm. The
gospel reading was from Mark 9: 2-
9 and Hebrews 11: 17-19.
Rev. Bannerman’s message to the
adults was Abraham’s Extraordinary
Faith. Faith is hearing what God
wants and then doing it.
Rev. Bannerman related an
experience he had had while
preparing for the ministry, how God
had answered his prayers and
meditation.
Today people pray and meditate
that God will intervene and help
them with their daily lives. The
benediction was followed by (the
singing of the Choral Benediction.
