Sunrise service at Hensall
United Church was well
attended and led by Rev.
Stanley McDonald, who
dwelt on sunrise, the
resurrection and the hope it
brings. Jesus' followers had
been in darkness of spirit but
as Christ lives, so a new age
dawns. We are children of
the light.
Betty Beer provided

guitar music and sang "The
Lord's prayer" and "I Know
Who Holds My Hand". She
also provided background
music as Rev. McDonald
read the poem "Joseph Had
A Garden".
Following the short ser-
vice, breakfast was served
in the Fellowhip Hall.
A joyful Easter service
was held with a packed
church at 11 a.m.
Rev. McDonald took as his
subject, "Blocked En-
trance". The light of Easter
rolls away the stones in our
lives, frees us from sin and
lets the light in. Our
weakness, doubts, guilts and
death are all stones but the
resurrection life affirms
eternal life. Christ is Alive.
Two anthems were sung
"Most Glorious Lord of
Life" by William H. Harris
and "That God Doth Love
the World, We Know" by
Wadley. Mrs. Belva Fuss
took to solo; also a solo by
Mrs. Gail Shaw, "The New
Jerusalem" during the offer-
tory. The music contributed
much to the services. The
children were reminded that
the egg is a symbol of new
life and the lily symbolizes
Christ bursting forth from
the grave.
Fresh flowers in the
church were Easter lilies in
memory of Mrs. Annie Hor-
ton placed there by her hus-
band and other lilies from
the Fee estate. Mrs. Mary
Haugh also sent flowers
from the nursing home
where she is a resident and
these together, with others
placed last week, made a
beautiful floral background
for the worship.
Dr. John Goddard
welcomed everybody at the
door and the ushers were
Brad Buchanan, Dwight
Consitt and Steve Corbett.
