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.
