The 24th was known as Roga- tion Sunday, and itis a day when the thoughts are centred on the planting of the fields and gardens. We pause and ask the Lord to bless the seed, the implements, the livestock, and the fields and gardens with good produc- tivity. 'Taking the service to the farm then seemed an appropriate thing to do-. Bishop Jones was paying his an- nual visit to the parish, and when the idea was suggested to him, he was delighted to be a part of this special service. The service was held at the farm of Don, Phyllis and Brian O'Neil and it featured many things. While the Bishop gave the message for the day, •the children planted a very large garden. The garden is centered by a cross .of red salvia, which are sur- rounded by white petunias. Although the plants are quite sparse now, we expect the garden to become more and more impressive as the summer moves along. The Bishop also blessed many large and small crosses which are to be taken home by the people present and placed in their respective gardens. A seed display, set up by Scott's Elevator. Ltd. represented all the seeds to be blessed through our parish and the diocese, and the children were also given packets of seed to be taken home by them and planted in their own small plots.The produce and flowers of these seeds will be return- ed at the time that we have our Harvest Thanksgiving service in the fall, and so in this way we connect both the seedtime and the harvest as part of the same blessing of God. The music was provided by Pat Pocock using a synthesizer loaned to her by her son, David. Kay Egan and Andy Van Geel read the lessons and took the prayers of the people. The makeshift altar was covered by a beautiful frontal made at last year's 53rd weekend, which is an annual con- ference of the Diocese of Huron. It and the chirping birds, and clucking hens added much to the atmosphere of creation which we celebrated on this day. After six glorious weekends of warm delightful weather. this one broke cloudy 'and cool, which prevented some of the older members of the congregation from coming to the service. It did not, however, take away from the overall warmth of the service and the potluck lunch that followed. All in all it was a great ef- fort and thoughly enjoyed by all who came. It was generally conceded that we must do this again, and I am sure that we will.

This was a joyous eight day feast, beginning on a Sabbath, and ending - on a Sabbath, that was a joyous day of thanksgiving for all the Lord had provided for them. This feast was started during the travels through the wilderness from Egypt to Israel. Dur- ing the feast days the Jews remembered their deliverance from One accident in OPP area.

King David prepared for the building of a great temple for the Lord. but his son Solomon built it. The beautiful temple was dedicated, on the feast of tabernacles. The glory of the Lord came down and filled the tem- ple. When God's people worship and glorify the Lord, His glory can fill Itis house. - The Sunday evening anniversary service was conductedby Rev. Roger Mason. Mrs. Marlene Thornton, ac- companied by pianist Mrs. Lorraine Armitage. sang Jesus. 0 Jesus. Rev. Mason -introduced Rev. Walter Gamble as guest speaker. Rev. Gam- ble ministered from Psalm 1 and Isaiah 27:6. It is the time for the church of Jesus Christ to get it's roots down deep in Christ. There needs to be a renewing of commitment to be firm in their faith to serve Jesus. It is too easy to let down the standards of being a Christian. Rooted means to have a solid foun- dation in Christ. When the roots are deep a Christian can stand in stabili- ty and strength in the Lord. Getting their spiritual roots down deep in Christ can bring fruitfulness in serv- ing the Lord. A tree brings life from it's roots dell) tlit sei1. Christians serving the Lord moil to be vibrant with life. In Isaiah 37:31 we read God's people will again take root and bear fruit. Chris- tians going through hard cir- cumstances can take heart that they will again take spiritual root in the Lord and bear spiritual fruit.
