Beacom, Thompson greet at United Edythe Beacom and Audrey Thompson greeted churchgoers this past Sunday at Londesboro United Church. The ushers were Bert and Joanne Lyon. Rev. Paul Ross’s message was titled Hearing Voices. In the relevant Old Testament scripture passage, Jeremiah 31: 31-34, Jeremiah hears God telling him that God will make a new covenant with His people. He would forgive their sins and they would know He is their God. The New Testament scripture was John 12: 20-33. John tells of being with Jesus during the days of the Feast of the Passover and hearing a voice speak to Jesus concerning His impending crucifixion. This would be the washing away of the sins God spoke to Jeremiah about. On April 16, Palm Sunday, the sacrament of Holy Communion and Confirmation will be observed. The Sunday School will offer a soup and sandwich lunch following the service. If you have information for the spring newsletter, please get it to Paul Ross by Friday, April 14.
