Christmas pageant held at United Church
HENSALL - The annual White Gift service
and Christmas pageant was well received
by a packed congregation on Sunday morn-
ing at the Hensall United Church. The
pageant, written and produced by the Sun-
day church school staff, was based on the
current Mission Study within the church on
the Canadian Indian.
The junior choir did an excellent job off
leading the ministry of music throughout
the service. Along with the familiar
Christmas carols they sang the very
spirited, "At Christmas Time; ; , "Jesus Is
His Name", and as the angels appeared,
"Alleluia, Hear the Angels Sing". Also sung
were the very beautiful Bethlehem Lullaby
entitled, "Once There Was A Little Town",
and the very interesting "Christmas Ques-
tions", which had the senior part of the
J
junior choir ask the question and the junior
section came in with the answer.
As the children presented their gifts, the
choir sang, "0 -Come Little Children", to the
traditional tune.
Throughout the pageant, the Huron Indian
Carol was used. This carol was used as the
basis for the pageant and is the first Cana-
dian carol ever written. It was taught to the
Huron Indians over 300 years ago by Father
Jean de Brebeuf who was one of the group of
Jesuit missionaries who worked in the
Georgian Bay area of Ontario.
Solos for the service were by Mary
Taylor, Mindy Bell and Kerri-Sue Kyle sing-
ing "Still The Night."
Playing the part of Mary and Joseph were
Angela Bell and Shane Pepper. The angels
were Tara Pepper, Jaime McGee, Jeremy
