Knox parish celebrates “baptism of Jesus” Mabel Wheeler greeted worshippers and handed out the service of worship on Sunday, Jan. 12 at cold, stormy Knox United Church, Belgrave. The congregation celebrated the "baptism of Jesus". Rev. Mary Jane Hobden welcomed everyone. The congrega­ tion sung Spirit, Spirit of Gentleness and Walls That Divide. This was followed by silent meditation, call to worship and prayer of approach repeated in unison. The Hymn of Praise was the chosen selection Al the Name of Jesus, followed by the Prayer of Confession said "in unison. A choir of mixed voices sang Come Celebrate Jesus. The scrip­ ture reading was taken from the Hebrew scriptures, Genesis 1, verses 1-5. Out Of Deep, Unordered Water was sung. The children gathered in the front pews for story time with Shawn Cottrill being Jesus and Camerra Yuill acting as John the Baptist. Rev. Hobden told the children when Jesus was baptized in the river, the heavens opened and a dove landed on Jesus's shoulder. This was the "Spirit of God". After being baptized Jesus preached, taught and healed people, she said. It was a new beginning for Jesus just like it is a new beginning for people when they get baptized. "We are all part of God's creations and we all have things to do for him," she said. After prayer the children adjourned downstairs for Sunday School. The Gospel lesson was taken from Mark 1: 4-11. The message for the sermon centred on the same theme as the children's story. Jimmy McCracken and Kenny McCracken received the offering All Thou I am was sung. Rev. Hobden installed the UCW officers.

The fair featured booths from commodity groups as well as food entrepreneurs, each giving out sam­ ples and recipes to create greater knowledge and interest in local food products. Some of the com­ modity groups had indicated their support for continuing the fair but overall interest was not strong enough to continue, Roulston said. The first fair was held in 1993 based on an idea that came out of the Blyth Idea Group, a series of meetings held in 1992 to look into ways to stimulate economic activity in the village. Attendance ranged from 500 to 700 people over the three years with more than 40 exhibitors taking part in 1995, showing everything from jams and jellies to wild boar and emu. Pro­ ceeds from the event went to the Blyth Festival.
