Home My WebLink AboutThe Wingham Advance Times, 1995-10-04, Page 5WEDNE$IIAY, OCTOBER 4,1895 Lyle Hemingway is worship leader BRUSSELS --Lyle. Hemingway was the worship leader at a recent Sun- day morning service at the Brussels Mennonite Fellowship. The youth looked after the music for the ser- vice. Phil Wagler of Mapleview Men- nonite Church gave the message, entitled "Being the Church in the `90s". It was based upon the scrip- ture passage Acts 2:37-47. To many people in today's socie- ty, said Mr. Wagler, the Church has become archaic and irrelevant -- a place to marry and bury. Has the Church failed, he asked. The local Church in Jerusalem in Peter's time existed in .a society much like ours today -- there was a lot of religion, blit not a lot of faith. Pluralism also existed in Jerusalem, he said. That is, believe what you want to be- lieve, but don't push your beliefs on me. Peter would have made a good politician, Mr. Wagler went on to say. What changed Peter? It was the knowledge of the resurrection. Each one of us today needs to have knowledge of the resurrection in or- der to change our lives. We need daily in -filling of the Holy Spirit and we need to submit to the Holy Spirit. Too many Christians are try- ing to operate without the Holy Spirit, trying to get by on human power, Mr. Wagler claimed. We need to submit every aspect of our lives to the lordship of Christ, confess any unconfessed sins and ask God to fill us anew with His Spirit. These things need to be done every day. We need the Holy Spirit in our Churches, he said. We need to re -discover devo- tion with passion and zeal. Members of the early Church were "people -people," Mr. Wagler continued. Early Christians did not . separate themselves from non- Christians in the community. Do we have many non-Christian friends? Do we spend time with our non-Christian friends, he asked. We must stop living in a Christian bub- ble and let the Church develop a vi- sion'ofwhat God wants it to do. Unity in the Church is attractive, but are we causing problems' in the Church, or creating unity, he pon- dered. God's passion is people. If we claim to be Christian, then we must have a passion for people. Our world is in need of hope. What are we doing about it, he concluded by asking. Mr. Wagler also led a session last Saturday evening for the youth of the Brussels congregation. The Grade 7-8s went rollerskating last Friday evening. Over $1,000 raised from Big Barn Dance draw The annual Big Barn Dance draw was held on Monday, Sept. 25, over CKNX Radio at 12:45 p.m. Murray Gaunt and Earl Hey- wood of Wingham were in charge of the draw made by announcer Scott Pettigrew. The draw was the result of a tick- et -selling blitz at the International Plowing Match at Ayr late last month. The winners were: Grace Brunk of Stratford, a guitar clock hand- crafted by celebrity Hank Bedard of London; David Charlton of Southampton won a model plow- man and horses carved by Lloyd Otterbein of Zurich and Gord and Marjorie Wall of Wingham won the authentic cowboy hat and fancy Western shirt supplied by Today's Variety at Londesborough. More than $1,000 was raised by the event. It was sponsored by the Barn Dance Historical Foundation and Entertainment Museum and the money will go toward the develop- ment of a Barn Dance Hall of Fame.

Audrey McKague, president, welcomed members and visitors from neighboring Women's Mis- sionary Society groups. The ladies enjoyed a time of singing, ably led by Betty Richardson on the piano and Catharine MacDonald as song - leader. Mary Campbell warmly intro- duced the guest soloist for the eve- ning, Diane Lamont of Waterloo. She favored the group with two song selections, then held members fascinated as she "signed" the words to the song "The Mission" as it was sung on tape. Mrs. Campbell led the meeting through a concert of prayer, work- ing piece by piece through James 5 and allowing each person to offer silent prayer. This was to the ac- companiment of hymns played quietly by Lorraine Clugston. The soloist treated the women to three more selections and was thanked by Nancy Campbell. Helen Daugherty introduced the speaker, Gwyneth Whilsmith of Bayfield. Mrs. Whilsmith is known to Pres- byterians through her writings in The Presbyterian Record and through her books, the latest of which is A Basket of Stones . In her talk, Mrs. Whilsmith asked, "How do we get from here to there?" She concluded that the Church in the post -Christian era must learn to serve differently than it has before. The evening closed with prayer and delicious refreshments were served. �M rare Carl and Margaret McClenaghan attended the Ontario Rodeo Finals in Orono near Bowmanville last weekend.
