Woman, daughters greet at Melville service Greeting at Melville Presbyterian Church last Sunday morning were Janna Dodds with her daughters Eliza and Rachel. Following the Call to Worship by Rev. Cathrine Campbell, the congregation sang the hymn, Praise to the Lord Almighty, accompanied by organist Mary Douma. During the congregational welcome Matthew Cardiff played two piano selections, one of which was extensive variations on Old McDonald's Farm. The responsive reading of Psalm 150 next preceded the children's hymn, Let All Things now Living, and the children gathered at the front of the church for Rev. Cathrine Campbell's story ti me. Referring to Psalm 150 which tells of the many musical ways to praise the Lord, Rev. Campbell told the children that some are better than others at singing, but we can still all do something and give praise to God in a variety of ways. Then she read Double celebration at St. John's Anglican Easter Sunday was a double celebration at St. John's Anglican this year. There was the additional blessing of welcoming a new member to the Christian community. Hailey Nicole Alcock was presented for baptism. Rev. Tom Wilson invited all the children present to come to the front so they could see exactly what was going on. It was a heartwarming sight to see all the children's heads lined up in the front row as they watched the proceedings so intently. After the service the young folks transferred their activities to the outdoors for the annual Easter egg hunt. It didn't seem to take them very long to get this chore done. for them a poem entitled All God's Critters have a Place in the Choir, in which the message was emphasized that we are all different, and each cah contribute in their own way. The scripture lesson of Job 43: I - 6; Acts 5: 17 - 32; John 20: 19 - 31 was read by Rev. Campbell with assistance from reader Janna Dodds. The sermon, What Did I Tell YoU? talked of information gleaned from dinner parties, and how- false and bogus news items can result from conversations at such events instead of relying on provable facts. From our scripture lesson of Luke which gives the story of Doubting Thomas who would not believe Christ had risen from the dead until he saw it, Rev. Campbell talked about the values of being skeptical. So while Thomas was of a logical mind, and wouldn't accept things on someone else's say so, such skepticism was probably healthy in most circumstances. Weeks later, when Thomas was with his friends Jesus appeared coming through a locked door, and He knew all about Thomas's doubtings and had the answers to all his questions before they were asked." Immediately Thomas becomes a believer", said Rev. Campbell. "He knew that his Lord lived without further examination". Then Rev. Campbell led all in reciting The Apostle's Creed, and said that from that Creed people have life everlasting with God. "We have faith in a living Saviour, active in our lives and with us daily," Rev. Campbell said. "Stories of reported missiles, aliens, Elvis sightings and Diana theories must not replace the living words of God which tell us to love God with all our heart, and our neighbour as ourselves". The collection was taken up by Bill King, Maurice Douma, Brian Armstrong and Doug McArter. Everyone was reminded to get their tickets for the springtime supper to be held in the church next Sunday, April 25. Ham and turkey will be served. Bible Study is at Helen Elliott's on Thursday, April22. Next Sunday the service will be conducted by the..Melville Women's Guild and WMS. Melville Moments: by Gerald Gibson 1875 - The Moderator, Dr. Ferguson, reported that he had conferred with a member about a rumour of his being drunk. The member admitted it but manifested a spirit of indifference that he had been guilty of the same on many occasions before and had been dealt with privately. The Moderator cited him to appear before the session. The Session approved of thiS in order, if possible, to bring him to a better state of mind. Results unknown.
