Mrs. Belva Fuss was organist and Wayne Corbett and Jeff Corbett were the ushers. Mr. McDonald spoke on the subject "You Can't Go It Alone In Hensall". He used the test from Ecclesiastes "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toll. For it they fail, one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and has not another to lift him up." He spoke on how God has designed us not for solitude but for sharing. Christ the Master of the art of living, tells us to build a personality worth sharing with others. He also tells us, on what may seem to be a lonely Voyage on a ship crowded with strangers, to relate ourselves mean- ingfully to others. The flowers at the front of the church were placed in honour of the marriage of Janet Bjerg and Don Beaver.
