Official board meeting
in Centralia Mar. 24
By Mary Peterson
CENTRALIA CORRESPONDENT
CENTRALIA - After many stormy
winter days, everyone enjoyed the
wonderful sunshine and warmer
temperatures of the past week.
On Sun., Feb. 29, Rev. Ray
Hagerman welcomed the members of
the congregation at Centralia United
Church. This marked the first Sunday
in Lent which is a time for thought
and meditation. Rev. Hagerman
invited everyone to worship each
Sunday of this Holy Season.
Rev. Hagerman asked everyone to
continue to pray for the many who
are dealing with life's challenges,
including Kristen, Todd and Tayler
Lightfoot and their family. In prayer,
remember Bob and Ellen Graham as
well as Mary Webb and her family
and those who grieve or have other
difficulties.
Larry Skinner led the beginning of
worship. Everyone joined in the
hymn, Jesus Bids Us Shine.
Following that, Rev. Hagerman sat
down with the children to discuss a
pilot's experiences and
God. Just like the man in
the control tower you
can't see, you know God is watching
and guiding you. The children went
with their Sunday school teachers to
continue to learn about God.
The choir sang an anthem based on
Psalm 42, As Pants the Deer.
Scripture lessons included Psalm 24
and Exodus 33:12-23. Rev.
Hagerman continued discussion of
the Beatitudes in his sermon, Blessed
Are the Pure in Heart, for They Shall
See God.
Judy and Ray Mills read the Minute
for Mission about the many outreach
activities of a small church in New
Brunswick which receives support
from Mission & Service funds. Rev.
Hagerman recalled his interaction
with the devoted members of this
church when he lived in the
Maritimes.
Iva Blair and Dorothy Rolling took
up the offering while the choir sang
the hymn, We Are You. Worship
closed with the hymn, Jesus,
Teacher, Brave and Bold.
Everyone enjoyed playing with Rev.
Hagerman and his wife's little grand-
daughter who attended worship at
both Centralia and Zion West.
Upcoming activities to mark on
your calendar include Crediton UCW
World Day of Prayer on Thurs.,
March 4 at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is
welcome to attend. The official
board meeting will be held Wed.,
March 24 at 8:00 p.m., at Centralia
United Church.
