Melville congregants’ usual
pattern was totally changed last
Sunday as they celebrated the 149th
anniversary of Presbyterianism in
Brussels.
The morning service was
cancelled for the special observance.
Instead they met in the late
afternoon with friends and
neighbours in the church parlour to
enjoy a delicious barbeque prepared
by Cardiff Catering and volunteers
from the congregation.
This was climaxed by the evening
service of worship.
With a full choir and Mary Douma
as organist, Rev. Cathrine Campbell
welcomed guest minister. Rev. Peter
Bush from Mitchell. Rev. Bush is a
graduate of Knox College, an author,
an organizer, and a passionate
advocate of lay ministry. Members
of the congregation then turned to
welcome those around them, and
during this time they enjoyed two
anthems, Precious Lord, and Beyond
People for Peace look ahead
Members of People for Peace
gathered at the McQuail farm, near
Lucknow on Sunday, Oct. 19 to
consider plans for the fall.
People for Peace will join the
Lucknow Quaker Worship Group in
hosting a talk by American Quaker
and Peace Activist, Chuck Fager on
Sunday evening, Nov. 2. His topic is
Project for a New Century of
Peacework. He will discuss a
strategic framework for peace work
growing out of his 30 years of peace
activism, historical research, and
journalism, beginning as a staff
member with Martin Luther King in
the 1960s.
Fager’s speaking engagements in
Canada focus on the role Canadians
the Sunset, by guest singers John
and Chris McIntosh.
Rev. Campbell led the
congregation in the responsive
reading of Psalm 98, then Rev. Bush
read scripture readings of Exodus
3:1 - 12; and Revelations 3:7 - 13.
In expressing his pleasure at being
present for the occasion Rev. Bush
first complimented the architecture
of the church, pointing out several
interesting aspects that make it
uniquely Presbyterian such as the
curved seats, the sloping floors and
the geometric window decoration.
“Before each of us there is an open
door of opportunity for service’,
stated Rev. Bush, as he began his
sermon “and when we are called
there are no excuses.”
Referring to how Moses was
called by God through the burning
bush and how even when he felt
inadequate, he had to accept the
challenge laid upon him, Rev. Bush
talked of the rewards of accepting
can play in supporting the nonviolent
resistance movement against the
unilateralist American drive for
world domination. He will outline
practical local work that can be done
to improve the long-term prospects
for a better, more peaceful future.
Fager wants to talk with Canadians
about how they can help, and what
they can offer Americans who are
seeking ways out of the madness that
has engulfed the US, and threatens
the world. The talk will be held at the
MacKay Centre for Seniors in
Goderich and all are welcome.
Work is also underway organizing
an event on International Human
Rights Day, Wednesday, Dec. 10.
Janice McKean, from Kincardine,
this challenge and the comfort of
becoming part of Christ’s
everlasting kingdom. Referring to
the second scripture reading, a letter
sent to an early church located in an
earthquake prone area, Rev. Bush
described the message to them as
one of comfort, challenge, and
words to the victor.
Collection was gathered by Bill
King, Bill Aitcheson, Brian
Armstrong and Dave McCutcheon,
during which time congregants
heard two more anthems by John
and Chris McIntosh: How Great
Thou Art, and Somebody Bigger
than You and I.
The flowers on the communion
table for the service were placed
there in loving memory of Bert
Douma by his family Maurice,
Mary, Laura, Heather and Amy
Douma. Leanne Armstrong did the
many colourful arrangements of
fruits and flowers at all entrances of
the church.
will speak on Amnesty International
and its work for. human rights.
People for Peace is also exploring
whether there is an appropriate
relief project to undertake at. that
meeting.
Stewart Vriesinga, who served
with the Christian Peace Maker
Team in Iraq, said “If you want
peace, work for justice.”
Those at the meeting were pleased
to learn that the Outreach Committee
of Ontario Street United Church in
Clinton is sponsoring a discussion on
issues around war and politics on
Friday evening, Oct. 24. People for
Peace will use their contact lists to
spread the word on all three
events.
