Minister's message, ’A Song of Joy'
A prelude of Christmas numbers
played by organist, Mrs. Elizabeth
Procter and pianist, Mrs. Sylvia
Procter; festive decorations and a
cheery greeting by the church
entrance by Mrs. Ruby Hanna and
Mrs. Olive Bolt set an inspiring,
welcoming atmosphere in Knox
United Church on Sunday, Decem
ber 22 for the morning service.
The large choir of mixed voices
chose “Maiden most Gentle”, as its
rendition. Familiar Christmas
hymns were sung with organ and
piano accompaniment. Offertory
stewards were John R. Taylor,
Kenneth Procter, Shawn Logan and
Dean Vincent.
A large Congregation attended
the service which was conducted
by the Rev. Peter Tucker.
Following the lighting of the
fourth Advent candle, “Love”, the
minister spoke briefly to the junior
Sunday School
The Saturday night before Christ
mas found a joyful and merry
crowd at the Belgrave Women's
Institute Hall. The Calvin Brick
Sunday School pot luck supper and
Christmas concert found children
of all ages enjoying the Christmas
spirit.
Rev. Peter D. Tucker was the
master of ceremonies for the con
cert. Jessie McGee provided the
music for the carol sing-song and
the children entertained the crowd,
the Primary class consisting of
Kristen Palmer, Constance Bleeker,
Cody McGee and Michael Drennan
performed a recitation called “All
for Jesus”. Simone Bleeker played
two numbers on the piano “O Holy
Night” and “It Came Upon A Mid
night Clear”. Mike and David
McBumey, Simone and Carolynne
Bleeker and Robbie McGee per
members about the presence of a
new baby in the home. He empha
sized the baby's demand and need
of love. Love always costs. God
gave us His Son with love at great
cost. The Sunday school pupils and
their teachers then retired to the
schoolroom to resume their studies.
Rev. Tucker introduced his mes
sage, “A Song of Joy”, with the
query “What would the world do
without song!”
Many European countries have
contributed much to the universe
through music. The human voice,
in song, can reach great heights.
The Jews were no exception! They
sang in the temple, at weddings,
everywhere. Christmas was set up
for song. Mary, on learning of
Jesus' impending birth, sang. The
angels also sang. Mary is the model
for all of us. She conceived,
believed and sang.

McGee and Rene Bleeker presented
the Christmast Story. The end of
the night heard the musical sounds
of the Sunday School choir singing
two numbers, “Go Tell It On The
Mountain” and “C is for the Christ
Child”. To many smiling faces
Santa Claus arrived.
Superintendent, Don Dow,
helped Santa give a bag of goodies

We're a pretty spoiled people, we
