HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2005-11-24, Page 19During their time at the front United Church minister. Rev. Pat Cook told the boys and girls about all the special names there were for Sunday, Nov. 20. Because it was Observer Sunday, she showed them articles from recent editions of that magazine about the work of the United Church around the world, some of which focused on the activities of children. The church calendar called Sunday, Children’s Day, and they talked together about how Jesus is their example of how children can help in the world. As well, Sunday was Reign of Christ Sunday which means it was the last Sunday in the liturgical calendar yea?, and the last Sunday the gospel reading will be from Matthew. With the beginning of Advent, the gospel of Mark will have precedence in the next year. In the responsive psalm. Psalm 95, the writer gives praise to God calling Him a great God above all others. The gospel reading, Matthew 25: 31-46, is the story of the final judgement day and was the supporting scripture for Rev. Cook’s message, In Tune With God. On the final judgement day, God will consider the gifts or talents each has received and what was done with His gifts. Being at the close of a liturgical year is a good time to reflect on what Jesus means to each of us, to get in tune with Christ and our faith. Rev. Cook used the analogy of an orchestra getting tuned for a performance. All need to tune their instrument, their lives and bring them in tune with their conductor, Christ. The passage from Matthew states that if a person helps those who are considered to be the least in life, Jesus has been helped. It is on how one shares what they have in helping 'others that they will be judged by Jesus. By reaching out to others, one reaches out to God. This coming Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent and Londesborough United will observe the sacrament of holy communion. The Sunday school invites everyone to join them for their annual white gift service on Sunday, Dec. 4. Congregants are asked to bring a gift for the Huron County Christmas Bureau wrapped in white paper. A time of fellowship will follow the service. You are asked to bring along finger food to share - sandwiches, crackers, squares, etc. Looking for Christmas help?
