Brussels/Blyth pastor moves to London parish
The Reverend E. Paul Acton has
been appointed rector of the
Church of the Transfiguration,
London, effective Sept. 15.
A graduate of Toronto Baptist
Seminary (M.Div.-1982) Acton
served as pastor of Lansing Avenue
Chapel in Sudbury, and pastor of
Emmanuel Baptist Church. In 1989
he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts
Degree in Philosophy (Laurentian
University), and is currently
working towards a Master's degree
in Philosophy (University of
Windsor).
In 1991 Rev. Acton was ordained
deacon in the Anglican Church, and
appointed to the parish of St. John's
Brussels, with Trinity Church,
Blyth. He was ordained priest in
November of that same year. Since
that time he has been involved with
the Huron Spiritual Development
Unit, the Evangelism Task Force,
the Sexual Ethics Consultation
Group and the Mission and
Evangelism Advisory Committee.
He has also served as secretary
treasurer of Huron Deanery.
An active member of his
community, Rev. Acton has served
as Legion Chaplain, Padre of the
Highland Fusiliers of Canada, and a
member of the Huron County
United Way. He has served on the
executive of the Windsor Interfaith
Television Council, and as
Producer of many Sudbury
television shows. He has been
Director of Camp Saugeen, and
spent eight years working with
children in this camp ministry.
Rev. Acton and his wife,
Marjorie, have four children:
Jennifer, Joshua, Kimberly and
Christopher.
THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF CANADA
Mennonites hold Youth Sun.
Sunday, Sept. 11, was
designated as Youth Sunday at
Brussels Mennonite Fellowship.
Pastor Tom Warner was worship
leader for the service and Rob
Demaray brought the message.
Joshua 4:19-24 was the scripture
passage. Joshua became the new
leader for the Israelites as they
travelled to the Promised Land.
God dried a path across the Jordan
River for Joshua to lead his people
through, just as he did for Moses at
the Red Sea. By doing this, God
makes all people aware that He is
indeed powerful, Mr. Demaray
said. God is your Savior, not your
particular church, not your
particular Youth Group, but God
Himself. God teaches, even in
times of personal failure.
Mr. Demaray reminded the
youth to be themselves, don't be
naive, but always remember that
God is in control of your life. He
offered a challenge: we must get
this country back to God.
Phailop Larprom and Gary
Martin led the congregational
singing and provided guitar
accompaniment. Darren
Hemingway played the mouth
organ, accompanied by Phailop on
the guitar for the offertory.
The Cornerstone Group and
friends provided special music near
the close of the service.
Following the church service
and the Christian Education Hour a
potluck meal was held in the
fellowship hall.
The missions committee, the
elders, the church council, and the
youth ministry team have meetings
scheduled for the coming week.
The youth and young adult Bible
study will be held at the Demaray
home on Wednesday evening.
The Junior Youth (Grade 7-8)
will hold their monthly activity
night on Friday evening. On
Tuesday, Sept. 20, Mrs. Eleanor
Kuyvenhoven, of the Gift Chest, in
Wingham, will be the special guest
at the ladies' monthly fellowship
meeting. All ladies are welcome to
attend.
The thought for the week is:
The world may little notice us, but
the WORD in Isaiah stands fast: "I
will not forget you." (Isaiah 49:15)
Missionaries hear quartet
The congregation at Auburn
Missionary Church was thrilled to
have the Harvesters Quartette from
Sarnia bring the special music on
Sunday, Sept. 11. Their rendition
of Shine Jesus Shine, There's
Plenty of Room in the Family and
You are My Hiding Place were well
received.
Pastor Came's message, "Jail
Break" was taken from Acts 12: 1-
19 when Peter was taken from jail
by an angel before he was to appear
before King Herod. The
congregation members were
praying, but it was difficult because
they had prayed for James and he
had not been delivered.
"Have you had a failure in
prayer? Did you give up?" Pastor
Came asked. It is easy to give up
but the safest place to be is in the
service of the Lord. Success is
failure turned inside out.
Peter was in an impossible
situation but God intervened. Often
there are miracles in timing, Pastor
Came said.
Then there is interruption. Things
were different that day for the
guards as they were on a man hunt
but Peter left for another place and
carried on with his life.
Are you facing circumstances
that are holding you down? Get
going, said Past Came. Trust God
to move your mountain, but keep
on digging.
Susan Dobie, who is attending
Emmanuel Bible College in
Kitchener gave the highlights of the
team ministry in Cuba of which she
was part this past summer.
There will be a men's fellowship
breakfast at the Goderich Country
Club on Sept. 24 at 9:30 a.m.
Ladies are invited as is anyone who
would like to hear Dr. David Bell,
an anesthetist from the Owen
Sound General Hospital. You won't
be disappointed.
Omitted from last week: John
Stoll was baptized along with
Walter Packer in the Maitland
River at Frank and Anna Ewald's
Estate.
