and the Gospel reading from
Matthew 5:1-12.
Hillary told the story of a little boy
called Joseph and his blanket.
Joseph took his blanket every where
and his mother thought it was
getting tattered and torn so she told
him it was time to get rid of it.
Joseph said that he would take it to
grandpa. Grandpa snipped and
sewed and made him a jacket out of
the blanket. Sometime later, mom
thought the jacket was getting old
and soiled and it was time to get rid
of it but no, Joseph took it to
grandpa and grandpa snipped and
sewed and made him a vest. The
next time Joseph took the vest to
grandpa, he made a tie out of the
vest.
The next time Joseph took it to
grandpa, made a handkerchief out of
the tie and then grandpa made a
button out of the tie. Joseph lost the
button and came to grandpa but
grandpa told Joseph he couldn't
make something from nothing.
We have lots of wonderful things
about us. We can find joy and
blessings all around us. The next
hymn `Blest Are They" was sung
followed by the choir singing the
anthem "In My Heart There Rings a
Melody" before the next stage.
We watched a video of an ad for
Apple technology about people
thinking differently in order to push
forward. Apple changed the 20th
century with its inventions that
encouraged people to think
differently. In the Gospel reading
Jesus tells us that blessed are the
poor and the poor in spirit for theirs
is the kingdom of Heaven.
The beatitudes have an effect on
all of us. Jesus blesses the people
from the mountain. We can find
happiness through the Beatitudes
and they are a road map to the
Christian life. Jesus tells us that it is
what is on the inside not what is on
the outside that counts. Let us think
we can change the world and make it
a better world.
The hymn `Be Thou My Vision"
was sung. The offering was received
followed by the offertory response
"Grant Us God the Grace", the
offertory prayer, the prayers for the
people, silent prayers and the
singing of the Lord's Prayer. The
benediction was followed by the
singing of the response, "I am
Walking the Path of Peace, Love and
Joy". Everyone was invited for
coffee or tea and fellowship.

Hold your hand in this fire!
(Ralph Venning, "The Plague of Plagues!" 1669)
"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is
uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give
account!" Hebrews 4:13
Take heed of what men call secret sins. There are only too many who
continue in wickedness, because as they think, no one knows how wicked
they are. They are drunkards --but it is in the night. They are immoral --but
it is in the dark. Their mystery of iniquity trades in the works of darkness
and in the dark. Indeed, if men could sin and no eye see them --then they
might sin securely; but this is a falsehood as well as a mistake.
Once a young maiden was tempted to be unchaste. The person who
solicited her, promised to do great things for her if she would yield.
"I will," he said, "do anything for you!"
"Will you?" she said, "then hold your hand in this fire!"
"Oh, that is unreasonable!" he answered.
"But,: she replied, "it is much more unreasonable that I should burn
forever in Hell for your sake! Who would venture his soul to eternal
torment --to gratify his own or another's pleasure and lust?"
We cannot escape God's sight --any more thatn we can escape His
judgment. He sees us, though like Adam and Eve we cover ourselves with
fig leaves. And He will one day call to us, as He did to them, "Sinner --
where are you?"
You cannot flee from His presence. You may more easily hide from
yourselves --than from God.
I hope you will say, for I am sure you will see cause to do so, "How shall
I do this wickedness --and sin against God!"
"Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him? Do not I fill
heaven and earth?" Jeremiah 23:24
