December 14 proved to be a very busy Sunday at Hensall United Church. Not only was there a morn- ing worship but a special evening ser- vice was also held. During the morn- ing worship the sacrament of Holy Communion was observed with Rev. Picket! of Goderich assisting minister, Mr. George Cowan. Many thanks to Rev. Pickett. As the congregation stood to sing the hymn "Gentle Mary Laid Her Child", the children came forward for their time with the minister. As the youngsters sat around him, Mr. Cowan reviewed the meaning of ad- vent and the importance of the advent wreath. Then, after asking if there were any families present with three members (and there were several!). He selected the McGee girls, Jen- nifer, Jodie and Jaime, to light the three purple candles. Mr. Cowan then told a story using songs about the im- portance of love at Christmastime after which the students left for their classes. Following the children's time, Mur- ray McGregor, member of the Com- municaitons .and Mission Outreach Committee, very ably read the Minutes for Missions. Congratula- tions Murray on a job welFdone! Mr. Cowan's message entitled "Living the Sacrament" proved to be another very thought provoking sermon. Helve Fuss led us in the Ministry of Music and the choir members, who are becoming more plentiful all of the time, sang the very appropriate an- May the spirit of the season make your days truly joyous... thanks for being our friends!

After the service, a Fellowship Morning was observed with everyone gathering downstairs for a warm drink and some nut loaf. The Sunday school students had been asked by the Centennial Committee to stay after church for their first rehearsal for the upcoming Old Fashioned Christmas pageant on December 21. There was much activity and some confusion but everything should be well in hand by the next practice which is on Satur- day. December 20 at 8 a.m. The evening service, known of- ficially as The 1986 C.G.I.T. National Vesper Service, went oft'beautifully. The girls are to be commended for their hard work. The service began with Debbie Wood beautifully playing a medley of Christmas songs on the piano as group leaders Linda Tra- quair and Sue Stephens carefully lit the numerous candles placed around the front of the sanctuary. Then the lights were dimmed for an effect which was truly wondrous. Linda Traquair welcomed the good- sized crowd to the service and en- couraged everyone to stay for fellowship afterwards. A short skit with Amy Campbell, Lorena Fink and Cara Powell began the service. This was followed by the processional hymn "0 Come All Ye Faithful" dur- ing which the C.G.I.T. members came into the sanctuary each holding a lit red candle under glass. It was a very pretty scene. When the hymn was completed, the girls blew out their candles and quietly left the sanctuary. Group president, Jennifer Selwood, and leader, Linda Traquair, then led the service. The drama entitled "Let Us Go To Bethlehem" outlined the Christmas story and the various,ef- fects that the birth of Jesus had on the people at the time. The girls involv- ed in the play were: Brenda Neeb- servant; Karen Hartman -Mary; Sue Stephens- Joseph; Liana Goldsworthy -Angel; Karie-Sue Kyle, Mary .Taylor and Tracy Maxwell - Shepherds; and Angela Gould, Cara Powell and Lorena Fink -Wise Men. During the play, the Junior choir, under the fine direction of Mrs. Wood, sang "How Far Is It To Bethlehem" and "Baby Boy". Later on, they sang the anthem "Sing Hosannah, Sing Hallelujah" which highlighted 'the feeling of happiness for the season. Its clear that the hard work of the choir is paying off with large dividends. During the candlelighting .ceremony, Amy Campbell, Jennifer Selwood and Sue Stephens gave thanks as they each lit a candle. Then, Peggy Campbell (Amy' mother) came forward from the congregation and gave thanks for the C.G.I.T. as -she lit her own candle. The service concluded with the hymn "Joy To The World". As the people left the sanc- tuary each person was given a gift handmade by one of the girls. Some of these were Christmas tree or- naments saying "Merry Christmas" and others were pretty handstitched doves. Parents, grandparents and friends then met in the candlelit fellowship hall for refreshments. Evelyn Elder and Barb Gackstetter made sure everything here went smoothly. The Explorers under the guidance of Shirley McAllister and Marg Cole did a very fine job of usher- ing. Well done! Next Sunday is another big day in our church with it being Christmas Sunday and our Old Fashioned Christmas concert being planned for the evening (beginning at 7:30 p.m.). This is expected to be great fun for everyone young and old. So plan to come and bring a friend! SH Youth for Christ South Huron Youth for Christ held the December rally at Brucefield school on December 6 with 200 in at- tendance.
