The Citizen, 1992-01-08, Page 9’The Dawning of a New Day’, topic of minister’s sermon THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8,1992. PAGE 9. AuburnThe news from On Sunday, Jan. 5, Elizabeth Bowman sang a very inspiring solo entitled “The blood will never lose its power” during the morning ser­ vice at Auburn Missionary Church. Pastor Carne's message was taken from Isa. 43: 18, 19 was “The Dawning of a New Day”. The changing of the date doesn't change some things eg. crime. God intends that there will be the dawning of a new day. A new day brings a new creation. The person who doesn't know the Lord will not have a new day. When we accept Christ as our personal Saviour our lives will be changed like Saul the persecutor to Paul the apostle. A new creation brings us to a new commitment. When we make a new commitment we will go for­ ward. Our minds are made up to serve God and it will be amazing what God can do with us. A new career follows a new com­ mitment. We can become mission­ aries even at home. When the Lord introduces a new day you can for­ get the former things. The morning service on Dec. 29 at Auburn Missionary Church was enhanced by the music played by Linda Curl on the xylophone. Doran Rolston played a saxophone duet with her granddaughter Debo­ rah Curl during the offertory. David and Deb Rodges gave Mission Moments. They are preparing for missionary service to Papua New Guinea but are home from Missouri for the holidays. David, Deb and their family sang “This is the day” in Pidgin English. Before the message Doran Rol­ ston, Linda Curl and daughters Angela and Deborah sang a very inspiring number “I need You, Jesus, more today than yesterday.” Pastor Came gave a very fitting message for the last Sunday in he year entitled Reviewing the Record. Scripture was from Acts 14: 21-28. All have made a contri­ bution to our book this year. What did we put in the book that really matters? We should make a check­ up because some day God's book of life will be opened. To improve our record we must “Get into God”. If we are wholly committed to God even our life style will be changed. Anyone not bom again is not alive spiritually. To improve our record “Get Some Goals”. Read the Bible every day; attend prayer meeting to pray Knox holds communion Rev. Paul Ross conducted the morning service at Knox United Church and Bernice Gross was organist. There was an early hymn­ sing. Rev. Ross gave the children's story on the Lord's Prayer and it was repeated in unison and “Away In The Manger” was sung and also children's chorus “Jesus Loves the Little Children”. The hymn “As with Gladness Men of Old” was sung. Bernice Gross played a piano instrumental. Rev. Ross read the scripture followed by hymn “The Race That Long”. Rev. Ross's sermon was entitled “Goodbye”. He gave the prayer of Thanksgiving and Intercession. The offering was received by Ian Andrews and Ken Ramsey and for the Sunday School brought forward by Rachael Arthur and John Arm­ strong. Maurice Bean pronounced the Benediction and the choral response “To God The Father” con­ cluded the service. Next Sunday will be the celebration of Holy Communion. WI meeting January 16 The January meeting of the Women's Institute will be held on Thursday, January 16 at 2 p.m. at the Community Hall. The topic will be Citizenship and World Affairs by Marjorie McDougall. Roll call will be “Why I am Proud of Canada”. Hostesses will be Jean Plaetzer and Ruth Jardin. WI tree planting a success for souls; visit people and tell them about Christ. To improve our record after we get into God; after we set goals; then we must get going; and with God's help we can accomplish what He wants us to do and we do not need to be afraid when the Lamb's Book of Life is opened. On Sunday, Dec. 22 in the morn­ ing worship service the fourth advent candle was lit by Robert Bowman as Elizabeth Bowman read a poem on “Love came at Christmas”. During the service a male quar­ tette consisting of Ted Bakker, Clarke Teall, Marlin Good and Pas­ tor Came sang “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”. Pastor Carne's message “Love comes conquering” was based on Luke 2: 1-20. Love came at Christ­ mas time when God so loved the world that He gave His only Son - John 3: 16. Love conquers despair. We can despair over the problems we face in this sin-sick world but Love conquers those deepest depths. Love conquers demons. The man who was possessed with demons in Luke 8: 27-35 living in the ceme­ tery, breaking even chains but when Love came into his life the people found him sitting at Jesus' feet and in his right mind. Love conquers death. The Chris­ tian need not fear death because Love conquered death , sin and the grave. What rejoicing there will be when we see Jesus face to face because Love came conquering. Pastor and Mrs. Carne sang a beautiful duet “Love Divine”. A beautiful mum plant was in the sanctuary in memory of Viola Raithby placed by her sister. The Auburn Missionary Church was filled to capacity for the annual Christmas concert on Sunday evening, Dec. 22 when a slide pre­ sentation of the Christmas story was directed by Robert and Eliza­ beth Bowman using members of the congregation. Ted and Barbara Bakker were the narrators. This presentation was most inspiring. David and Debra Rodges and daughters from Camdenton, Mis­ souri, are home for the holidays staying with David's parents Leonard and Eileen Rodges. David and Debra are in linguistic school preparing for the mission field. God bless this fine young couple and their family.

For over 90 years the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario (FWIO) have been active in all aspects of their com­ munities. Over the past year the importance of FWIO has been ably demonstrat­ ed. The results of some of these activities were reported to the annual meeting of the Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario (FWIO) held recently in Guelph. Although not all branches reported their figures, over 60,000 hours were given to 4H and the schools. This does not include the work involved with the numerous WI scholarships that give students at all levels an opportunity to further their education. Women and the Environment is the theme for Women's Institutes for the decade. During the year FWIO was honoured as the Out­ standing Organization in Ontario for its work with the Environment. This year the WI branches were asked to plant trees between April 91 and April 92. At one stage the thinking was for 1,000 trees to be planted. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources that would be enough for a potential forest. Halfway through the project, and not everyone reporting yet, 49,000 trees have been planted and still counting. FWIO is the organization to get the job done. A container with “Best Before” labels collected from local stores which demonstrated the need for the “Best Before” labels to be in larger print and in a more promi­ nent place. Often they are impossi­ ble to read, or half wiped off and in some cases without a date. FWIO is an organization that was founded on food safety (pasteurization of milk) and even today they are con­ cerned with food safety. Hence their resolution asking for the “Best Before” labels to be in larger print and in a more prominent place. With over half a million volun­ teer hours to the rural communities, over 49,000 trees planted and still counting, educational projects to benefit all and resolutions that affect all of Ontario, rural or urban the WI members in Ontario are liv­ ing up to their motto of “For Home and Country”.
