By Rhoda Rohde
THAMES ROAD CORRESPONDENT
THAMES ROAD - Mr. Dave Williams was in charge of
the Remembrance Day Church Service on Sunday
morning. The Introit was sung, Eleanor Williams let the
Christ Candle. Dave williams lit the red candle from the
Christ Candle symbolizing sacrifice and a calling for
remembrance. Eleanor Williams let the white candle
from the Christ Candle symbolizing transparency the
pure in heart. Eleanor Williams lit the blue candle of
hope.
Dave Williams spoke between each lighting of candles.
Everyone shook hands and Dave gave words of wel-
come. Sharon Lynn gave a Minute for Council. Dave
read the announcements and led in the Call to Worship
responsively.
Gerald Cunnington, Margaret Stewart and Ashley
McKnight each gave readings about "Lest We Forget".
We then had two minutes of silence and Dave read "In
Flanders Fields".
The Children's Hymn "In The Bulb There Is A Flower"
was sung. Dave told the children a story "Circle of God's
Love" which was real interesting.
The choir sang "Universal Prayer of Peace" accompa-
nied by the organist Jean Hodgert. Psalm 78:1-7 was
read responsively. Dave Williams read Matthew 25:1-
13 and the title of his message was "Out of 0i1!"
Joan Skinner and Helen Weston received the offering
as well as being the greeters and Beatrice Dawson had
an item for the Food Bank.
There were quite a number of Honor Rolls and pic-
tures at the front of the church.
