Thanks to Messenger leaders Joan Morgan and Sandra Rowe for a pleasant evening. 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." There will be Baptism next Sunday November 8 at 11:15 in Thames Road Church.
