The Citizen, 2009-09-24, Page 21THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2009. PAGE 21. Dave Williams led the morningworship at Londesborough UnitedChurch on Sunday, Sept. 20. The senior choir sang the anthem,For I Will Build My Church. Dave and Quinn Driscoll lit theChrist candle. Dave remarked that the light of that candle will brighten the dark corners of each lie. During the singing of the children’s hymn, the boys and girls came forward and decorated three boxes with the butterfly pictures they had taken home from last week’s service and coloured. Then Dave passed out to each child a small stone. He quizzed them about one thing they had done that helped someone out during the week. That stone was a ‘helping’stone.Then Dave told them the story ofthe crow that was very thirsty. Thecrow had a bottle of water but thehole in the top was narrow and thecrow’s beak did not reach to the water. When everyone had dropped their stone into the bottle, the water came up in the bottle and the crow could drink. The stones/good deeds they had done in the previous week altogether made the world a better place for everyone. Psalm was the morning’s responsive reading, a psalm of praise for the godly person. The Old Testament reading from Proverbs 31: 10-31 is a passage of tribute for all that women do/have done forhusbands, family and community. In the New Testament reading,Mark 9: 30, 33-37, Jesus tells Hisdisciples to receive a place ofhonour, they must first serve others,become humble by putting others first. Christ offered many examples of humility while He walked on earth, one of them was the act of washing the feet of His disciples. God gives grace to the humble. Mr. Williams noted that Saint Mother Teresa was an example of humility. Humility is the act of giving something of one’s own so someone else can have a better life. Dave repeated a rule for living – seek justice, love mercy and walk humbly with your God. The official board of Londesborough United Church hasagreed to allow the church tobecome a learning site.
