MISSIONARY CHURCH
In the absence of Rev. Cathrine
Campbell last Sunday for morning
services at Melville Presbyterian
Church, Elaine Armstrong, Janna
Dodds and Julia Mitchell led the
congregation in worship with the full
participation of the Sunday school
children.
Greeting at the door were Brenda
and Jodi McIntosh.
For the third week of Advent the
candle was lit by Tara and Murray
Pipe and family with liturgy and
responses from the congregation.
With Mary Douma at the piano the
12-member junior choir presented
the anthem. Silver Bells, while
members of the congregation
welcomed each other.
The children’s story presented by
Janna Dodds, was the whole
Christmas saga of shepherds, angels
and the wise men following
Bethlehem’s star to find the Babe in
the manger. It ended by reminding
all that amid the gift giving, which is
good because it celebrates the gifts
that God has given, the birth of the
Baby Jesus is the reason for
Christmas.
The morning reading of Psalm
117, prayers and the scripture lesson
Isaiah 12: 1-6; Philippians 4: 4-7
were given by Julia Mitchell.
Then Sunday school
superintendent Elaine Armstrong
introduced the play, Fumbly
Bumbly Angels. The story
concerned a group of amateur angels
whose mission was to accomplish a
place in the master choir. To do this
they had to fulfill an assignment, and
in this case they were sent to herald
the arrival of the of the Baby Jesus.
Many carols were sung during this
presentation with everyone joining
in.
Collection was taken up by Bill
King, Bill Aitchison, Frank
Schimanski and Brian Armstrong.
The family of Mack and Thelma
Cardiff had placed a poinsettia in the
sanctuary in loving memory.
On Saturday, Dec. 20 a special
Melville skating party will be held at
the arena from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30
p.m. organized by Jim and Leona
Armstrong. This family event also
includes a warm viewing area for
those who ao not skate but can
participate in the fellowship. Coffee,
cookies and hot chocolate will be
served.
Finally as the kickoff to Melville’s
150th anniversary celebration, a
levee will be held in the church on
New Year’s Day from 2-4 p.m.
organized by Murray and Betty
Cardiff. There will be refreshments
and the Baird family from Wingham
will be providing musical
entertainment. It is encouraged that
those who have medals or uniforms,
wear them, thus informing friends of
their accomplishments.
