Exeter UC celebrates anniversary
EXETER - Anniversary Service
was celebrated on Sunday, October
1 with special guest speaker Rev.
William Steadman and musical tal-
ent by The New Huronia Singers.
Rev. Steadman, President of Lon-
don Conference, spoke to the chil-
dren about the miracle of God's crea-
tion, as seen in the many gorgeous
colours of fall. His sermon was
based on the Old Testament lesson
Joel 2:28-32: "Your old men shall
dream dreams, your young men
shall see visions". He noted that
particularly on the occasion of a
church anniversary is it important
to see visions and dreams for the
church, rather than patting oneself
on the back for a job well done.
The New Huronia Singers fa-
voured the congregation with sever-
al musical selections as a group, as
well as four beautiful pieces by the
New .Huronia Chorus. Even the
singing of the hymns and responses
was heightened with the addition of
their melodious voices. Thanks to
all who participated.
