support. Without this generosity and
community support, functions like
this would be much more difficult.
The choir's anthem was My Lord,
What a Morning.
Rev. McGauley asked the children
to come to the front for their
storytime. Rev. McGauley explained
to the children that the Beavers,
Cubs, Scouts, Guides and
Pathfinders all have promises and
asked each group to repeat their
promise. She explained that our
groups in the church also have
purposes.
Marilyn Craig came to the front
and asked all the UCW members to
stand while she repeated their
Purpose. She repeated the CGIT
purpose as well.
Three girls from the Pathfinders

The scriptures were from Isaiah 43:
18-25, read by Scout leader, Lavern
Clark, the Psalm 41 led by Jon
Hakkers and Mark 2: 1-12, read by
Zack Losch.
Rev. McGauley's message to the
adults was Healing the Paralytic.
She related the story of the four men
who brought a paralytic friend to
Jesus and lowered him down
through the roof for Jesus to heal.
When someone is sick and next to
death the faith and prayers of friends
can help to heal them she said.
Jesus didn't heal the man only
because he believed but also
because his friends believed.
The Scouts, Cubs and Beavers
carried the flags to lead the way to
the narthex. Everyone was invited to
stay and have birthday cake with the
ones celebrating February birthdays.
