Participating in the readings were Flora Robert- son, Dale Froats, Wes Stanley, : Ed and Freeda Melanson and - Larry Crut- tenden. The readings culminated in the lighting of the central Christ candle in the Advent Wreath. The offering gave oppor- tunity to give a Christmas gift to Jesus through the Mission and Service Fund of the Church. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper concluded the" service. • ' Sunday morning Christmas services continued as the con- gregation gathered for regular morning worship. Don and Dorothy Lankin with - Carolyn and Paul welcomed those who came to worship. Catherine, Cheryl and Bonnie Lynn contributed - very beautifully to the service as they sang The Drummer Boy. and the Secret of Christmas. Mr. Brown spoke briefly to the boys and girls before they left for Junior Congregation. reminding them that they bring happiness to : their Heavenly Father when they . sing hymns of praise to Him and mean what they say. Mr. Brown's sermon theme was "Good Tidings of Great Joy". Christ came into the world to. bring Joy, and this should be a distinguishing mark of the true Christian. There are many indications in Scripture -that Christ Himself was a person who radiated Joy and his ministry brought " joy to others in a variety of ways. Jesus indicated in John 14,, people find this joy through a relationship of lov- ing .obedience to Him. He. spoke also of joy that comes through discovering personal- ly the power and faithfulness of prayer -answering God. The absence of joy can be traced to sin. Christ came into the world to bear the penalty, of sin and to deliver man from its power. All who will truly open their hearts to receive Him will discover the joy He came to bring. • Next Sunday after church will be the regular monthly coffee social when friends'are invited to start the new year with a bowl of.chili.
