Rev. Mark Gaskin opened the service
at Carmel Presbyterian Church in Hen-
sall with the call to worship and the
sanctus. A warm welcome was extended
to all who joined in the service. Several
guests from the Hensall United Church
attended as their minister is on vacation
until the end of July.
The choir sang the anthem, but several
of its members are also on vacation.
Rev. Gaskin told a very interesting
story for his sermon which in fact shows
how little many people care about their
fellow man: but there is always one good
samaritan, even though he has troubles
of his own who will stoop to help another.
SUMMER SCHEDULE
Rev. Mark will be on holiday from
August 1 - 31. In the event of a pastoral
emergency please contact Rev. Chas.
Henderson at 235-2606.
There will be no service at Caven or
Carmel.
The Hensall United Church will be
holding service in August.
