I suppose now they wlll be able to start nialng snow at the ski bll, not enough snow down here to be able to ski at Klirby yet. This past Sunday 1 did not attend Kendal United Church Service but attended the Service at Newtonville - our great-grandson was being Baptlzed. The Service opened with Rev. Black welcoming ail. The hymn "The Church's One Foundation" was sung.> the affirmation of Faith was repeated. The children were called to the front. David asked them what he had in his hand? They sald a glass of water, he asked thema what could he do with it? Some said drink it, spili t, water a plant. wash with it. Baptize a baby. David asked, what if I threw it at you. that wouldn't be very nice would It? If it was sum- mer and you were around a pool, it would be cooling, we would feel refreshed, cleaner. Davd said that in Baptism of the baby he was not really going to dlean the baby but, ti a way at Baptism that is what is belng done, a cleans- lng of spirit. The children's hymn was, 'Th-is Little Llght 0f Mine". The choir sang the anthem, -Mhe Farnlly 0f God"'. The Prayer of Approach and Self-Examlnation was given followed by the Words COLUMN lus Lowery of Assurance. The choir sang, "Getting Used To The Family 0f God'. .The Scrlptures were taken from Genesis 2,4-7 and Matthew 3; 11-ý17. The Sermon was tltled, "Baptlsm: Water and Word". If asked, how the world began? Many would say before creation, ail there was was water and chaos then God made earth. There is another story that there was earth and not enough water and this created chaos. When God created the world He used water to cleanse and rid the world of sin and used water to save. We ail know the story of the "Ark and Noah". We know the- story of how God parted the waters and saved the Israelltes by lettlng them through and then the waters closed on their pursuers. John used water to Baptize Jesus. Baptism is a symbol. manrage is a symbol. they are commryitments made before God. Words: the words of the Bible. We ail know they are not words dlctated by God and written down as He said them but, are words of wis- dom handed down through generations. teaching how God lntended us to live, how to learn. We have handbooks that teach us the rules of driving,, what we can and can not do, or we will be breaking ýthe law. The Bible is God's hand- book, in It we can learri al the rules of living so we do not break His laws. 1 While the anthem "Our Thanks 0 God For Parents" was belng sung, the children returned to the Sanctuary. The Offering was presented and the parents and baby were brought forward. The Service of Baptism followed. Cameron James Lowery, son of Richard and Bey., brother of Robert and Andrew, was recelved Into the famlly-of the Church. Cameron Is the grandson of Bil and Marlene Stacey of Newtonvllle, Wayne and Brenda Lowery of Scarborough. The Service ended with the Prayer of Concern and Commltment and the hymn, "A Living Faith"'. Following the Service the families and friends of Richard and Bey.,Lowery enjoyed a tasty lunch in the C.E. room. Cameron didn't mind belng handed from per- son to person, belng the cen- tre of attention dldn't faze hlm at ail. I must tell you about my attending the broadcast of a new radio station, that took place on Sunday evening, November 9th. The stations call letters are WKUC, 199.9 on the diai. The host for the prograni was "Dazzllng Don". There was a choir and two pianists because they also doubled as singers. Dazzling Don also had to dash about as he was also part of the choir. The young man wvho was in charge of the mikes and the lights looked like he despaired of Dazzling Don ever being in the right place at the rlght time. Two interesting visitors were lnterviewed. Rev. Black, that proved interesting as severai "personal" questions were asked. Then there was a lady Misslonary, I was so taken by her "stylish" clothes that I didn't catch her name. When asked why she became a Missionary she sald that al it took was somieone to care for others and when they SEALED TENDERS, clearly marked as to contents, for the follow- ing requirements isted below, submitted ta the Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington, Office of the Clerk, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, Ontario, LiC 3A6, are invited and wiII be received on the forms and in the envelope provided until the speci- fied closing time and date.
