Sunday school decorates church Regular church attenders and many guests filled the sanctuary at Londesboro United Church on Easter Sunday. The Sunday School had decorated for that morning with a tree covered in Easter symbols and a variety of flowers brought by the congregation. There were two memorial flower offerings in memory of Tony van Dorp by the Drost family and Bill Goodall by the Goodall family. Ye Sons and Daughters and He Is Risen were the anthems sung by the senior choir in celebration of Easter. During their time at the front, the children discussed that a legend is a story based on a belief to explain something very old. Rev. Nelson told the young folk that legend tells when Jesus came out of the tomb on Easter morning and walked in the garden, a lily grew in each of His footsteps. Thus, Jesus brought good things to the world and sets an example for Christians. In the responsive psalm, Psalm 150, David exhorts all to praise God for His excellent greatness. Isaiah 53 states that the Lord has made intercession for transgressors, Matthew 28: 1-10 is that apostle’s record of finding the tomb empty and of Christ’s appearance to the Marys. Thoughts concerning the resurrection are found in 1 Corinthians 15: 12-22. Resurrection Faith was the subject of Rev. Nelson’s message that morning, Christ frequently referred to His coming death and resurrection during His ministry. However, the events of Holy Week came as a surprise to the disciples who were confused and despaired over His death. Christ’s appearances, in a somewhat transformed state, in the weeks following, empowered the disciples. Their faith created the early church in their preachings they proclaimed that Jesus was raised from the dead by God. This resurrection was the instrument of redemption. His living presence in the world was/is assured. Faith in the story of resurrection, in the power of the risen Christ, empowers the lives of Christians today, God can meet the needs of those who have that faith. Next Sunday being Earth Day, the Sunday service will focus on rural life and camping. The UCW will conduct the service and Keith Loder of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank will bring the message. The spring newsletter is ready for pickup and/or delivery by the elders. A volunteer is sought for the coffee and muffin serving for the month of May and June. FROM LONDESBORO Full house at annual Songfest Cheerios It was a full house at Londesboro United Church’s 23rd annual Songfest on Sunday, April 13. Emcee for this night of musical ministry was Rev. Ted Nelson. Welcoming the crowd were mother and daughter duo, Marsha and Carrie Szusz, playing organ and piano duets. The excitement and enthusiasm of the Londesboro junior choir set the tone for the evening. Comfortable in their jeans and blue and yellow t-shirts these children, led by Barb Bosman, delighted the audience with Great Big God, We Are the Light of the World and Everything That Is, Is His, complete with solo parts and actions. A full choirloft of men from the church sang Beulah Land, When the Saints, Freedom Land and Oscar Peterson’s Hymn to Freedom. Three musically talented young folk, the Romijn Family of Clinton, sang Purify Me, Hallelujah Square and Shout It. For their second set, the two boys played violins and were accompanied on the keyboard by their sister A very appreciative audience was rewarded with an encore waltz. Bringing his own down-to-earth and familiar style of ministry to the event was Bob Heywood of the Zurich area. Accompanying himself on accordion, Bob sang a number of gospel tunes, such as Peace, Peace be Still and Come Ye Sinners. The gospel group, Oracle, a seven­ member Mennonite group, is based in Milverton. Playing a variety of musical instruments, these men and women ministered with He’s In the Midst, He Set Me Free and He Touched Me to name a few. Comments heard that evening and since would indicate that, if you were not in attendance, you missed an enjoyable concert.
