Spring Thank - d offering meeting in the church, s Wednesday, April 28, when guests from Molesworth, Ford- wich. McIntosh, and the sister churches in the community united to enjoy a most interesting evening with Rev. Michael Boul- ger. of Monkton United Church as special speaker. Mrs. Lorne Mann, U.C.W. president, welcomed the ladies, and Mrs. Wesley Ball conducted very meaningful opening devo- tions. She chose her scripture passages from Ephesians, 4 and "'Matthew 25. Mrs. Mabel Free- man favored with a piano solo. Mrs. William Nay introduced .the speaker relating interesting highlights from Rev. Boulger's experiences serving the Home Mission Board at Bella Coola on the north coast of British Colum- bia, .and in Northern Manitoba. Rev. Boulger followed the example of the great missionary of the gospel, Paul of Tarsus, by serving as a part time minister and by supporting himself by working full time as an under- ground miner on the west coast of B.C. In the summer of 1971, he secured his teacher's degree and moved to Berenf River in Nor- thern Manitoba. Here he worked for the division of missions with the Indian people. He taught full time at the Indian school and was also pastor of the community. Stories of the rugged life in the isolated community, the frustra- tions, the challenge, the discour- aging elements and the reward- ing incidents were portrayed so vividly one found oneself laugh- ing at the amusing parts which tempered the serious aspect of such a tremendous missionary effort. Members were made much more aware of the scope of the work being done by the divi- sion of mission and service. Rev. Boulger explained that the role of the missionary is to 11romote the independence of the people. The mission and service division sponsors a school for elders, so that the local church may develop personnel from their own people. He spoke of the great service of radio transmis- sion between the 30 church manses scattered widely across northern Manitoba and Saskat- chewan, and which is their only means of communication. Mrs. Mann moved a vote of thanks to Rev. Boulger for his entertaining and enlightening ad- dress. Rev. Wesley Ball pro- nounced the benediction and an hour of fellowship and sociability concluded the evening.
