In spite of wind and sleet the National Christmas Vesper Service took place Sunday ev- ening at seven o'clock in the Wingham United. Church. Fifty-two people braved the storm to form the congregation and 61 C.G.I.T, members ear- ried out the service. This year's service repre- sented the thinking of girls in western Canada who participat- ed in the preparation of the "conversation'", and prayers which made this a new and contemporary worship service. The organist, Miss Iva Mai Smith, played a medley of carols as the CGIT members processed to their places in the choir loft and gallery. After the large central candle was lit the leader Vicki Rosenhagen, called the congregation to wor- ship. Susan Currie was the leader for all the Scripture passages. Five girls took part in the conversations and commented on various aspects of Christmas. These were: Alma Beard, Eliza- beth Jacklin, Ruth Bennett, Jeanette Riley and Nancy Guest. Rev. C. M. Jardine read the words from the Gospels used as part of the conversation. Posters made by the girls help- ed to carry out their ideas, Mary and Joseph oh the road to Bethlehem were portrayed by Patti Kechnie and Margaret McLaughlin. The three CGIT choir sel- ections were especially delight- ful this year. They were the traditional French carol, " Ang- els We Have Heard on High'; a West Indian Carol, "The Baby Boy" and a calypso carol, "The Borning Day". The Grade group were the ushers for the service, The offerings receiv- ed at the vesper service make :possible the work of the Nation- al CGIT Committee of the Canadian Council of Churches. On Tuesday evening the CGIT met to make favours for the Christmas trays at the hospital and to take their dona- tions for the Salvation Army and a girl's home in Toronto. On December 20 they plan to join the Inter-Church Commun- ity Christmas Carol Service. BELGRAVE-- The final meeting of the U.C.W. for the year 1967 was held in the church basement on November 30th.
