this 150th anniversary year, The first was don, Bi p
the Easter service held at the Goderich •
TownshipCommunity Centre. Mr. Elliott
recalls that everyone who was asked, to help
cheerfully gave their time, energy and
talent. The congregation filled the Corn-
munity Centre to overflowing, and he says
the feeling during and after the service
"could hardly be put into words."
The Goderich Township Community Choir '
made its debut at the Easter service. The
entire service was taped, and these tapes
are now available at the Holmesville Store
• at a cost of $8.50. Nothing could be more
historical than tapes of the sesquicentennial
Easter service.
After the Easter service, the 1-54) commit-
tee turned its thoughts to the July 21st ser-
vice. Anyone who thinks the July church
service might be anticlimactic is quickly
assured that, "If you enjoyed the Easter
service, this won't take second place."
The day will begin with lunch served at
the Community Centre from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m. An old-fashioned hymn sing will call
the people to the adjacent schoolyard where
the outdoor service will begin at 2 p.m. Peo-
ple are asked to bring their own lawn chairs
because it is hoped the congregation will ex-
ceed the number of chairs available. In the
event of rain, the service will be moved to
the Township shed.
The theme of the service will be Christian
heritage. Goderich Township residents
represent 14 countries and 10 provinces, and
each nationality and province will be
represented in some way in the service. A
colorful processional will open the service.
The Goderich Township Community Choir
will provide leadership in the ministry of
music, and many other people will be in-
volved. Selected scriptures, psalms and
hymns will expound the theme.
The theme speaker will be Rt. Rev.
William A. Townshend. Mr. Elliott explains,
"Bishop Townshend is a pastoral son who
has gained prominence in the Anglican
Church of Canada and is well-known and
respected to the people of Goderich
Township."
William Alfred Townshend was born in
1898 to Albert and Hannah (Scotchmer)
Townshend and was baptized at St. James
