A joint service involving the two United Churches, Granton and Wesley, also the Granton St. Thomas Anglican Church, was held in the Wesley United Church on Friday evening, March 6. This service was prepared by Native American Indian women who represented Indian tribes from throughout the United States, south, north, east and west. Leaders from all three churches were the following ladies, Mrs. Fred Walden, Mrs. Wilfred Garrett, Mrs. Lois Herbert, Mrs. Don Beatson, Miss Marion Herbert, and Miss Susan Noon. C.G.I.T.ers Margaret McGuffin and Bonnie Harloff. Mrs. Clayton Karges gave a very informative talk on the theme, saying what modern man had done to God's earth with pollution, and other destruction. Church news At the St. Thomas Anglican Church, the Rev. Greg Smith was in charge of the Morning prayer service for the first Sunday in Lent. The twolessonswere read by Mrs. Percy Hodgins and Miss Marion Herbert. In the children's story Rev. Smith explained that the seed or bulb was planted in the soil, and after being cared for, developed into a beautiful flower. The Rector said that children were to think of themselves as a Christian seed, that will grow up to bring life and beauty to the world. They were each given a flower to hang on the Jesse Tree. It being the first Sunday in Lent, Rev. Smith preached his sermon on the temp- tations of Jesus Christ after fasting 40 days and nights in the wilderness. We must follow the true victory of Jesus Christ by refusing temptations, and as Christian people we must attend our particular church on Sunday. Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve. Lenten Services are being held every Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. in the church. At the United Church the Rev. Elwood Morden was in charge of the morning worship for the first Sunday in Lent. Rev. and Mrs. Morden took part in a dialogue with the theme "Lenten Zoo". This was the first in a Lenten series that dealt with the "Serpent" which represented "sin and Forgiveness, sin in the Garden of Eden, and Forgiveness from the Brass Serpent in the Wilderness. The minister told how Jesus washed the feet of His Disciples just a few hours before surrendering Hitnself to death. Serving has to compete with strife, we find this in our own lives. Men are called to serve their country, they know that sacrifice is involved. Nothing provides the basis for a humble spirit in a church congregation, as the service of its members to those who are striving to find their way in life, some have strayed from the right path, and need someone to put their feet back on it, and some have no feet at all. Personals Get well wishes are ex- tended to Mr. Clifford McRobert, who is a patient in St. Marys Memorial Hospital. Mr. & Mrs. Harold Hardie and Mr. & Mrs. Cliff Cook have returned home after spending a vacation on the Island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean. Mrs. Emerson Wallis and Mrs. Betty Alce have returned home, after en- joying a bus tour through Florida. Times -Advocate, March 11, 1981 1 We'll Do the Job Right... _..
