Nov. 23 while Harvey and Yvonne Hoggart did the ushering. Rev. Pat Cook was assisted in serving the sacrament of Holy Communion by Brian Whyte. Garnet Wright. Harris Snell. Sherry Postma, Marjorie Duizer and Irene Bromley. Don Goodall's minute for mission item gave information about the Southdale Chaplaincy. Monies donated to the United Church’s mission and service fund assist with this centre to which families in adversity may turn for help. Rev. Pat spoke to the boys and girls during their time at the front, about the ease and safety that comes from walking in someone else’s footsteps in loose soil or deep snow. By following in Christ’s footsteps (doing His will) and living according to His word they too will be safe in His love. Embodying Christ’s Love was the title of Rev. Pat’s message that morning. The responsive psalm. Psalm 132, speaks of God’s promise to David that He will safeguard David’s family if they follow Him. When asked by Pilate in John 18: 33-37 if He is the king of the Jews, Christ answered His was a kingdom of another place and He shall bear witness to the truth. As the Christian church enters the season of Advent, the 24 weeks of the season of Pentecost comes to an end. Pentecost was the sending of the disciples out into the community to bear witness of God’s love. That spirit of Pentecost calls Christians, of today to do likewise, to embody Christ’s love in our world. By giving back God’s love in other ways - white gifts, foodgrains, mission projects - we share God’s love right here on earth. These acts of love and kindness show others God walks with us. Patience and adjustments will be necessary in the coming weeks as work progresses on the church addition. We will all need to keep the end result in mind while poping. What a treat it was to have in our midst on Sunday several visitors, one of them being Teresa Knox. Teresa is getting ready to rejoin her veterinarian practice out west after more than a year of dealing with a serious health issue. The ladies of Londesborough United Church met in the Sunday school room on Monday evening, Nov. 17. When someone we care about receives bad news or encounters trouble in their life, all of us ponder how we can help. Psalm 40 reassures God’s help for the troubled. To offer hope in times of crisis, to comfort, may be the best help one can give. This hope was the theme ot the Bible study conducted by Joan Whyte. Helen Dale, Betty Millar and Gail Lear. As we enter the season of Advent and recognize that in God’s gift of His son He gave hope to the world, the time of devotion seemed most appropriate.
