Church service
Rev. K. Teddy Smits was in charge
of the regular church service on Sun-
day morning:The choir sang "Grum-
ble, Grumble" accompanied by the
organist Miss Agnes Bray.
Rev. Smits told the children a story
snd we sang "For the Beauty of the
Earth". The sermon text was Ezekiel
3`.15b "And I sat there overwhelmed
among them seven days".
Smits said, "Today is a day of a
new beginning and also a day of com-
memoration for it is today •that we
celebrate with the whole church All
Saints Day. In my young years when
staying in the south of Holland which
is Roman Catholic,. 1st of November
was marked by closed stores, the
ringing of all church bells, and all
streets filled with people who walked
to the churches for services. Later on
they went to the cemeteries and plac-
ed candles on the graves." •
All Saints Day brings us close to the
topic of life and death. Some of us feel,
that it is a topic we try to avoid, others
have accepted the fact that all of us
are on borrowed time.
Paul's letter to the Corinthians
states the Christian expectation.
Christ is raised from the dead. We tool
will be raised from the dead. There
are many unanswered questions.
When a person dies it is the opening
up of another world. The thing that is
most important to us is tliat God is
with us all through the moments of
this life and through death.
Jesus, in His daily life on earth sat
where we sat, and in it he represented
His Heavenly Father.
What is your only comfort in life
and in death?
Answer: That I am not my own, but
belong body and soul in life and in
death to my faithful Saviour Jesus
Christ.
God sits with us. We live and work
in a church which believes ttidt
beyond death there is another life and
victory. In our joys and sorrows in life
and in death. God sits with us. "And
I sat there overwhelmed among them
seven days."
