News from
Thames Road
By MRS. WILLIAM ROHDE
Rcv. Teddy Smits was in charge
of the regular church service on
Sunday. The choir sang "Holy God
We Praise Your Name" accompa-
nied by organist Miss Agnes Bray.
Rev. Smits sang the first verse of
the anthem in German and the last
verse in French, which was very
much enjoyed. '
The scripture Lessons were read
by Deanne Ballantyne and Tonya
Riehl, who also received the offer-
ing.
Rev. Teddy Smits told the chil-
dren's story -about a ship launching.
The blocks and wedges were re-
moved and everyone expected the
big oceanlincr to start moving, but
it remained unmoveable.
The crowd laughed. One man
shouted: "Somebody give her a
push". A young boy ran forward
and started to push that big boat.
All of a sudden the big ship gave,
and hit the water.
Sometimes our little push can
help another person. Jesus once saw
a man, Zacheus, hiding in a tree.
He wanted to change his life, but
could not push hard enough. Jesus
gave him a push and he became a
life long disciple.
In his sermon the Rcv. Teddy
Smits spoke about Absalom, the
Son of King David. As his text he
had chosen 2 Samuel 18:verse 33
"Would I had died instead of you, O
Absalom, my son, my son!"
llow much pain comes to parents
because of children who have
messed up their lives?
Kind David had been very proud
of his son Absalom with his golden
locks. One day the adult son Absa-
lom hatched a plot and had himself
acclaimed as King. It meant a revo-
lution and King David flecd from
Jerusalem. The country was badly
divided.
One of David's best generals,
Joab defeated the men who were
part of the uprising. He spotted Ab-
salom with his long hair caught in
the low branch of a tree. His horse
had galloped away and he .was left
hanging.
Joab speared and killed him.
When David heard the news, no-
body could comfort him. There was
mourning in the land about his son
Absalom.
A person may have committed a
crime which upsets the communi-
ty. But to a mother he still is her
son;
the coming Wednesday, April 20
at 12:30 p.m. we hope to see many
of you at the Pot Luck Lunchcon at
Thames Road Church, when the
Rev. -Jewitt Parr will come and
speak to us about our involvement
in the Mission and Service work.
The Official Board will hold a
meeting on Monday, April 25.
