May WMS
FROM CRANBROOK
In mid-May the ladies from the
WMS from Cranbrook met at the
home of Mrs. Joe Smith. Mrs.
Stewart Steiss led the meeting and
honoured mothers in her message.
The origin of Mother’s Day was dis
cussed including the retail slant with
the strong sales of Howers, candy
and greetings cards.
Scripture was read from Proverbs
31: 10-31, followed by a reading “Is
there a Mother in the House”. This
stressed the importance of the moth
er creating a Christian family.
Mrs. Steiss led in prayer.
Mrs. Stewart Stevenson called for
the reading of the minutes by Mrs.
Leslie Knight and the review of the
treasurer’s report by Mrs. Jack
Knight.
The topic was given by Mrs.
Brenda Perrie and dealt .with
“Missions and Partnerships” in the
meeting
church. Ministers in groups of four
might break up their work in this
manner.
One would visit the sickand. the
elderly. Another would take the
responsibility for youth and child
education while another would do
the preaching of the Gospel. The
fourth would work with the
Presbyterial and Synodical boards.
The Food Grains Bank in this
region depends on contributions of
money and an effort from various
surrounding churches working
together.
Sunday school children are filling
shoe boxes with*heeded articles to be
shipped to far off places where they
are much needed.
