THAMES ROAD CORRESPONDENT
THAMES ROAD — Dave Williams
was in charge of the Christian Family
and Mother's Day church service on
Sunday. The introit was sung. Helen
Weston lit the Christ candle and
everyone shook hands. A pause for a
silent prayer for all mothers—espe-
cially for war mothers—was held.
Sharon Lynn gave a Minute for
Council and Robert Bray gave the
joint needs assessment report.
Williams gave the announcements and
led in the Call to Worship and the
Gathering Prayer responsively.
The gathering hymn "Praise The
Lord With the Sound of Trumpet" was
sung. The affirmation of our faith, "A
New Creed" was read in unison. The
children's hymn, "This Is God's
Wondrous World" was sung.
Williams had a grapevine on a stand
while everyone in the audience had a
green leaf on which they were to
write their and their families' names.
The children gathered the completed
leaves and put them on the vine for all
families in the world; family supports;
prayer; future families; sleeping chil-
dren around the world; lonely people;
feeding the hungry; building homes
and hospitals; healing the sick; cele-
brating Mother's Day; nutrients;
Mission Outreach; Sunday school.
Dave finished the vine with roots and
fruit.
The choir sang "This Day in May"
accompanied by Marilyn
Vandenbussche at the piano. Psalm
33 was read responsively. Williams
read John 15:1-13 and his Sunday
message was "The
Strength Of Gentleness."
Everyone sang "Dear
Mother God." Murray and Beatrice
Dawson received the offering. The
closing hymn was sung "God Take My
Hand." Williams gave the
Commissioning and pronounced the
Benediction. Everyone sang "May the
God of Hope Go With Us."
