The Citizen, 1986-12-17, Page 12PAGE 12. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1986. Cranbrook church holds special service Christmas arrived with a joyful sound in Cranbrook on Sunday evening, as members of the Knox Presbyterian Church and Sunday School presented their annual White Gift Service and Christmas Concert in a celebration which included a number of adults, as well as virtually every child in the small community. Because the church is at present without a regular minister, the evening was organized almost entirely by Sunday School super­ intendents Patsy Dickinson and Nancy Vanass, w ith musical ac­ companiment by Madeline Steiss. To open the service, children w ith candles proceeded down both aisles of the church, before taking their places in the front pew . Members of the church's Youth Group told the story of Christ's birth in w ords both old and new , with a prayer, traditional Christ­ mas hymns and bible narrations presented between speakers. Patsv Dickinson sang a solo, and the Sunday School class gave a reading, then several children passed throughout the church gatheringgifts and donations from the congregation, which will be presented to the Salvation Army to help in its Christmas ministry. After the offering, Stewart Steiss acted as Master of Ceremon­ ies for the Christmas concert, w hich included piano solos by Darryl a nd Jennifer Vanass, a carol by Yolanda Vanass, guitar solos by Leanne Miniellv. Christmas songs by both the senior Sunday School class and the Youth Group, and a hilarious fashion show, featuring “some of the region's top fashion models presenting the latest styles from Metropolitan Cranbrook." The evening ended with a time for fellowship and refreshments, while gifts of appreciation were presented to all those who had made the show such an outstand­ ing success.
