The Citizen, 2007-05-17, Page 11THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2007. PAGE 11. Stuffing This trio were among those who gathered last week at Brussels Mennonite Fellowship to volunteer their time to the Huron Hospice Volunteer Service. Piles of letters concerning their Wings of a Dove campaign needed to reach area homes and these ladies stepped up to the plate to stuff the envelopes and get them ready to send. (Shawn Loughlin photo) Worshippers of Knox United Church, Belgrave, were welcomed by Kathy McCracken and Marvin Cook, as they entered the church for the special Mother’s Day service and baptism of Carson James Bromley. Rev. Ethel Miner Clare conducted the service with Elizabeth Procter at the organ. Lila Procter accompanied the hymns with her guitar. The flowers on the piano were placed there in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Smith, by their daughter’s family, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lamont. Flowers were also placed at the front of the church in memory of Jean Hopper by her family. The junior choir, led by Mrs. Procter and accompanied by Elizabeth Stennett, sang God’s Love and I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing. During the singing of Jesus Bids Us Shine the children of the congregation gathered at the front of the church for story time, and to witness the baptism. Matthew Cottrill was called to the front to receive a gift for his confirmation next week. Joyce Vincent, clerk of session, presented Matthew Bromley to the congregation by transfer for his membership from the Dungannon United Church. He was welcomed by the congregation. Mrs. Vincent then presented Carson James, son of Ashley and Matthew Bromley for baptism. Amelia Pletch was asked to pour the water into the baptismal font for the service. After the repeating of their vows, Mr. and Mrs. Bromley were presented with a lit candle as a symbol of Carson’s baptism, and with a Bible. Carson was also welcomed into the congregation. Carl and Ellen Procter gathered the offering after Rev. Clare’s message about promises. The service closed with the singing of I’ve Got Peace Like A River, the sending forth, and the choral benediction – May the Blessing of God. Rev. Clare will be away from May 28 - July 16 on study leave and vacation. During that time Rev. Cathrine Campbell will be taking care of pastoral emergencies. Phone 519-887-9831.
