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 Communion hymn was One
Bread, One Body.
Session members passing out the
bread and wine were John
Campbell, John Nixon, John
McIntosh, Melanie Pletch,
Elizabeth Procter and Ruth Gordon.

Food Fair future falls
Continued from page 1
facturers.
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.
