John and Sheila Nixon greeted
worshippers at Knox United Church
on Sunday, Nov. 23.
Jim Barnes and Rev. John Roberts
welcomed the congregation.
The call to worship was followed
by the congregation singing, Come
Down, O Love Divine, accompanied
by Elizabeth Procter. The Prayer of
Confession was read in unison.
The senior choir sang Dance with
the Spirit. After the responsive
reading Rev. Roberts read scripture
from Colossians 3: 1-4, 12-17.
After the singing of the children’s
hymn, Child of Blessing, Child of
Promise, the children adjourned to
Sunday school and to get ready for
the upcoming white gift service.
Joyce Vincent, Clerk of Session,
presented Sydney Jane Bromley,
daughter of Matthew and Ashley
Bromley to be baptized. Rev.
Roberts baptized Sydney.
Joyce lit a candle and presented it
to Matthew and Ashley for Sydney
to be lit on special occasions in
Sydney’s life and also to remember
her baptism. Sydney’s parents were
also presented with a Bible.
The congregation sang Amazing
Grace, How Sweet the Sound
accompanied by Elizabeth Procter.
The sermon was based on baptism.
There has always been a debate on
faith and baptism. When a baby gets
baptized it is the faith of the parents.
Baptism has nothing to do whether
or not people believe in God. It is a
declaration or proclamation of the
gift of God. Baptism expresses hope,
and is a gift of God.
Joan Vincent and Don Shiell took
up the offering. This was followed
by the singing of the offertory hymn,
Your work, O God, Needs Many
Hands.
The closing hymn was Now Thank
We All Our God.
The United Church Women’s
general meeting will be held on
Thursday, Nov. 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the
church basement. Pat Nolan, from
the Food Bank, will be the guest.
There will be special music. Bring a
non-perishable food item.
On Sunday, Nov. 30 bring articles
for the Christmas Bureau.
Due to some organizational
difficulties, the Knox youth group is
sorry to announce that the soup and
sandwich lunch originally scheduled
for after church on Nov. 30 has been
cancelled.
