Student Minister Brian Hymers
welcomed the congregation on Lent
IV March 6 and went over the
announcements as printed in the
bulletins. Austin Bieman, who spoke
in the Kincardine public speaking,
was awarded first and will now go on
to the speak in Fergus on April 2.
Austin is also wished a happy
birthday on March 6.
The congregation and community
wish Ivan Dow a speedy recovery
after his fall in the barn and
undergoing an operation.
After the introit selection, "Holy,
Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty".
Brian lit the Christ candle and read
responsively the call to worship. The
congregation sang the opening
hymn, "Love, Divine, All Loves
Excelling". The prayer of confession
was then recited.
For the children's story Brian
handed out different pieces to a
puzzle and each noted what part they
had. Each took their part of the
puzzle and put it together to make a
picture. When we add each piece and
we add our talents we are not all the
same. God has a plan for each of us
and a plan in this puzzle of life. We
are all an important piece but
without our pieces we aren't whole.
We listened to the word of God as
Larry Harper read from Joshua 5: 9-
12, Psalm 32 responsively with the
congregation and Luke 15: 11-32
read by Barb Harper.
For the sermon, Brian reflected on
Luke 15: 11-32; the parable of the
"Lost Son". There was once a man
who had two sons, said Jesus.
The younger son was not happy at
home. He dreamed of an exciting life
far away. One day he decided to
leave home. He went to his dad and
wanted him to pay him for his share
of the land. The father gave the son
what he wanted and the son took it
and went far away. At first he was
happy, doing whatever he wanted to
do, he went wherever, he wanted to
go and bought whatever he wanted
to buy.
Before long he had spent all his
money. He decided to go back home.
His father saw him coning and ran to
meet him. He hugged and kissed him
and said, "Let's have a Party". His
son was lost but now was found.
God is like this father, he is full of
joy when someone decides to obey
him. Brian knew what it was like to
be the lost son. We have all felt the
loss of going astray and are all
characters of this parable. It was the
grace of God that brought Brian to
be a minister. Jesus is always there to
pick us up. God has patience. He
allows us to return to him and
celebrate with him when we return.
We as Christians welcome people
back if they have taken the wrong
path. Let God shower us with his
gifts and love. We are all a part of
God's puzzle.
The hymn of response was "What
Wondrous Love is This". Brian sang
the first verse and everyone joined in
singing the remaining verses. Allen
Walker reported on the minute for
missions.
The UCW turkey dinner was such
a great success. We have had a lot of
wonderful comments on the meal.
We raised $922.
On March 20 (Palm Sunday) there
will be bowling in Lucknow with
Belgrave, Dungannon and Ashfield
Trinity, 3 - 6 p.m. with pizza after.
On Good Friday, March 26 there is
a service in Belgrave at 11 a.m.
Everyone is welcome.
Joyce VanCamp has returned
home to Alberta after staying with
her parents Jim and Mary Hunter.
While here she visited with her sister
Gwen until her death on Feb. 23 and
visited with other family members,
relatives and friends.
The annual World Day of Prayer
written by the Women of Cuba, was
held in the lower hall of the
Belgrave United Church on Friday
at 2 p.m. As the women gathered,
they were welcomed to an area of
the hall to visit and enjoy a drink of
lemon lime and pick up a Jasmin
flower petal as they do in Cuba.
The processional began, with
several women bringing in items
that represent their livelihood and
placed what they had brought on the
centre table with a bouquet of
butterfly jasmin flowers.
The leader Muriel Coultes
welcomed everyone and proceed
with the call to worship. The
readings by Sheila Nixon and
replies by the audience were
interspersed with hymns and
prayers. Elly Dow read the two
scriptures after which the video
"Receive Children. Receive Me"
was shown. The offering was
received and as they placed their
offering on the plate they also
placed their Jasmin petal as a
symbol of our dedication of our
lives to God.
The group then enjoyed a social
time. A favourite soup of Cuba had
been prepared by Mrs. Coultes,
which all were given samples of,
and special fruit and Cuban cookies
prepared by Wilma Higgins and Pat
Barnes were enjoyed.
