Lodges attend Melville Melville Presbyterian Church welcomed members of the Rebekah and the Oddfellows IOOF Lodges to the Sunday morning service. It was the church’s turn to have their parade and the presentation of their flags at the front of the sanctuary. Mary Douma was organist for the service. The junior choir presented three anthems: Be Our Guest; Love Love Love; and Pass it Along. The children joined the others at the front of the church for their part of the service. Rev. Cathrine Campbell discussed with them the meaning of the flag which has been placed at the front by the Lodges. The dove on the Rebekah flag stands for peace and the beehive means industry in a community, while the three link chain signifies the affiliation with the Oddfellows. She told the children of the first Rebecca who Elaine Armstrong with their family. There’s a call going out for men’s neckties to be brought to church on Father’s Day Sunday June 15. The 150th Anniversary Committee wants to make a necktie banner from them for celebration in 2004. Congregants’ thoughts are with Frank Cardiff who is still in Wingham hospital. was the mother of Jacob and Esau, and how she had to work for peace and for the support of her tribal community those many years ago. The children gained an awareness of how the Rebekahs and Oddfellows contribute to this community by serving those in need and that they provide mobility aids in our community. Reader Mae Ebel, representing the Rebekahs, assisted with the scripture readings of Acts 1: 12-26; 1 John 5: 5 - 15; John 17: 6 - 19. Rev. Campbell’s sermon, Standing Still? was focused on the disciples as they gathered together after Christ’s ascension into heaven. It was time for them to get active and spread the message of Christ’s life. Realizing that now there were only 11 of them, they decided to choose someone to replace Judas Iscariot. It must be one who had been a follower of Christ since the very beginning of his teaching and a witness right to the resurrection. Two names were put forth and the disciples cast lots to finally chose Matthias as the 13th disciple. The idea was that in the casting of lots, God could direct the outcome by influencing where the lots fell. Those original disciples were sent by God. Today Christians are called by Jesus to be His disciples and follow His teachings, Rev. Campbell said. The offering was collected by Bill Aitchison, Leanne Armstrong, Bill King and Frank Schimanski. Greeters at the door were Brian and Good dog Little Damon Mason has a comfy spot on mom Carrie’s lap as he enjoys a hot dog at the St. John’s Anglican church on Saturday, during the annual Brussels village yard sale.
