Remember to give to the Huron
County Christmas Bureau
By Rhoda Rohde
THAMES ROAD CORRESPONDENT
THAMES ROAD - Church service: The 1994
General Council of the United Church of Canada
made the decision that Children s Sunday should
be celebrated annually across the church on a Sun-
day close to Nov. 20. That date was chosen to tie
in with National Child Day designated by the Ca-
nadian Government in 1993. Nov. 20 is also the
anniversary of the United Nations ratification of
the convention on the Rights of the Child (1989).
Children s Sunday gives congregations an oppor-
tunity to: pause and reflect on the needs, concerns,
interests and skills of children in their own com-
munity; pause and reflect on the quality of life for
all children living in Canada; pause and reflect on
the quality of life for all the world s children.
Judith Parker of the worship committee lit the
Christ candle. The opening hymn Jesus, Teacher,
Brave and Strong was sung.
Judith Parker gave words of welcome and every-
one passed the Peace. The introit Let Us Praise The
God of Truth was sung.
Judith Parker read a poem Hold My Hand and
led in the call to worship responsively and every-
one read the opening prayer.
Judith Parker gave the announcements and lit the
red candle for Peace.
Judith Parker told the children a story about pic-
tures and children of God.
Judith read the Old Testament Lesson.
Everyone sang one verse of a medley of children s
hymns: Can A Little Child Like Me, Birds Are Sing-
ing, Woods Are Ringing, God Sees the Little Sparrow
Fall, The Wise May Bring Their Learning, and Jesus
Bids Us Shine. It was nice to sing the old hymns.
The Lord s Prayer was sung in unison.
Marianne Veldman, another member of the wor-
ship committee led in the responsive reading of
Psalm #67. The choir sang Don t Go Away Without
Jesus accompanied by the pianist Marilyn Vanden-
bussche.
Marianne read the New Testament Lesson Ephe-
sians 1:15-23.
A Litany of We Are The World s Children with
Beatrice Dawson (another worship committee
member), Karen Etherington, Helen Kadey, Sharon
Lynn, Ruth Anne Osgood, Judith Parker, and Mari-
anne Veldman (led in prayer) taking part, which
was really interesting.
Lorne and Pat Ballantyne received the offering.
The Doxology was sung and Beatrice Dawson led in
the offertory prayer.
Beatrice Dawson gave prayers of the children and
the commissioning.
Everyone read the benediction responsively. The
Choral Benediction was sung by everyone. It sure
was a wonderful church service. Well done.

until the soap is dissolved. Add a bit more until a bit is not dissolved.
