Church service
Rev Teddy Smits was in charge
of the regular church service on
Sunday morning. Miss Agnes Bray
accompanied the choir on the organ
when they sang "Let There Be
Peace On Earth".
Rev. Smits told the children's
story. "One Sunday I was telling a
children's story in a country church.
1 was amazed how all the children
and parents must have been fasci-
nated by my story, for they looked
and looked.
"I put my fingers on the front of
the pulpit and suddenly I felt a terri-
ble sting. A bee was there and had
stung me. A minute later a bee
stung a finger on my other hand!
"When a bee has stung, it leaves
its stinger in the wound. A bunch
of tiny muscles covers the poison
bag, and they work their way deeper
into the wound. That's why it hurts
a lot. We apply vinegar. But often
we can say words to others that act
like a bee -sting: Jesus was never
heard to make remarks to people
that would hurt. He covered up a lot
by a coat of love.
"We sang the children's hymn
"For the Beauty Of The Earth". The
Scripture Readings were read by
Danny Rohde and Tom Passmore
who also received the offering.
In his sermon the Rev. Smits
spoke about doubt among Chris-
tians, especially the doubt of
Thomas, one of the 12 disciples.
Thomas was a personality who al-
ways saw the dark side of things.
When Christ had appeared to His
disciples in the Upper Room,
Thomas was absent. he needed time
to overcome the loss of his master.
When told about it, he commented:
Unless I see the marks in his hands,
how am I to believe it? Christ came
once more and addressed Thomas es-
pecially. Thomas replied: My Lord
and my God!
The ttowers in the church were
placed there in memory of the late
Alvin Cottle.
On Wednesday April 20 at 12:30
p.m. we will gather at Thames
Road Church for a pot luck lun-
cheon. This luncheon is for those
who arc on church boards, U.C.W.

Funds.
