Plaque dedicated THAMES ROAD - Rev. Teddy Smits was in charge of the church scrvicc Sunday morning. The choir sang two numbers "The Lord's My Shepherd" and "On The Wings Of A Dove" accompanied by Miss Agnes Bray on the piano. Rev. Smits told the children an interest- ing story about birds and their nests. Rev. Teddy Smits was in charge of the dedication of the church fans and a plaque, and Mrs. Ross Cottle dedicated a clock, all in loving memory of Garry Cottle who passed away July 15, 1987. The gifts were accepted on behalf of the church by Edwin Miller of the Board of Trustees of the Church. Two beautiful flower arrangements were placed in the church in memo- ry of Garry. Dorothy Duncan read the Scrip- ture Lesson. In his sermon„ Rev. Smits concentrated the message on the dedications. The text was Isaiah 49:16 "Behold, I have graven you on the palms of my hands". All of us arc constantly moving through this world, and where we see children being born, we also see people dying all the time. We are pilgrims in this world, on our way to somewhere else. And many a journey holds a lot of hardships. Some journeys can be full of light while people give some hope to others on the way. But all of us come to a point where we ask: Where do I belong and where am I going? In some way God knows about us, and guides our ways. We may die at an early age or late in life. But all of us know that God never loses us out of his sight. Many relatives of Gary Cottle at - Crediton by Mrs. Stan Preszcator CREDITON - The sermon topic at Zion United Church was taken from Deuteronomy 30: 11-20, Mat- thew 11:7-19 titled "The Courage To Grow".
