SS anniversary' June 12 Confirmation at Thamu Road YC By MRS. WILLIAM ROHDN Thames Rood Rev. Robert Matheson was in charge of the regular church service Sunday morn- ing. The children's story was entitled, "All Are Children." The choir rendered an an- them accompanied by the organist Miss Agnes Bray.. Rev. Matheson read the Scripture. In baptism we celebrate the action of the Holy Spirit in our lives. When we are baptized into most denominations our baptism is recognized as be- ing into the Church Universal. When we are confirmed we become a full member of a particular denomination. Many denominations, the United Church of Canada among them, are presently studying the future of Chris- tian Initiation and Confirmation. Murray Dawson, Clerk of Session called Dennis Pym to the'front of the church where Dennis was confirmed and given a pin. Communion was then served by members of the session. Sunday School pupils are busy practicing for Anniver- sary Sunday on June 12. They The readers write Dear Editor; I would like to express some thoughts that have come to me lately. We have known how tragic events 'and disastershaveoccurred indif-' ferent places, but we had always been spared. Now that our rainy spells arc seriously hindering plan-. ting of crops in our region, it" could be a real disaster and I am made to wonder if God is not trying to show people everywhere that He does con- trol this universe. Also that He wants people to turn from their wickedways of disregarding His commandments. To the Israelites, who did not have salvation as we can. have it, God said, "If my peo- ple which are called by name shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from'their wicked ways, then, will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chron. 7:14 ) This could be the solution for our dilemma. Sincerely Lily Greb are asked to bring a lunch to Sunday School, so they can practice. The teachers will take children home. Sunday June 12 the Sdcra- ment of Baptism will be observed. In the evening the graduation meeting and mother and daughter banquet of the C.G.I.T. will be held.
