Christmas carols resound
at White Gift service
ACW Christmas concert Dec. 15
Familiar Christmas Carols re
sounded on the morning air Sun
day, December 10 as the many
members congregation at Knox
United Church, Belgrave to cele
brate the White Gift service. The
church bulletins were distributed
by Darryl Marks and Margie
Gordon.
The vestibule was beautified
with a Christmas spray on the
newel post and window sill con
tainers of bright blooms. The
sanctuary was decorated with
colourful poinsettia, a tree aglow
and lighted tapers in the candel-
abras.
An organ prelude of Christmas
music was presented by Mrs.
George Procter who, with flute
support by Jennifer Procter, ac
companied the children’s choir as
they sang “Sing Noel’’. The choir
then occupied the central front
pews to receive the Minister’s
message.
Rev. Peter D. Tucker conducted
the service assisted by youthful
readers: Jim Piluke, Jayne Vincent
and Marilyn McLean. Scripture
lessons were Isaiah 15: 1-10 and
Matthew 11: 2-11. “Kum bah ya’’
which means: “Come Close Lord’’
was sung by all.
Rev. Tucker gave a brief outline
of the Kenyan boy and his family
who are being supported by the
Knox United Sunday School. The
money is used for life’s needs and
education - or subsistence econo
my. The Kenyan people need tools
badly. To break a tool in Kenyan is
a major calamity. It may have to be
replaced by a pointed stick. If a
weather disaster occurs, starving
follows. Under these conditions we
aid the Kenyan family.
Rev. Tucker questioned “What
is a gypsy?’’ He explained that
gypsies were originally thought to
have emigrated from Egypt: hence
the resulting name of gypsy.
Jude, the boy, related in the
story, wished to follow his parents
over the “Hills of Forgiveness’’ to
the King’s palace. His granny took
a short cut, the Path of Experience.
Jude went the long route. As
Jude and his brothers and sister
journeyed they arrived at a fork in
the road which lead to the hill of
forgiveness. On inquiry, they were
directed to the correct path; the hill
vanished; problems were overcome
and all finally arrived at the King’s
palace. This was in reality a stable -
the palace of Jesus the King, where
through forgiveness everyone may
enter.
The White Gifts were collected in
two baskets by Grace Carmichael
and Margie Gordon. Offertory ste
wards were Mark Coultes, Kenneth
Procter, Donald G. Procter and
Ross Higgins.
