The skicrs have really been out in ful farce. On Sunday for Uic first trne thc parking lots wcrc ail fillcd and thcy had to Park on ic side of Uic road. The childrcn wbo have been !aking skiing les sons have finishcd ilicir course and bave been tcstcd. On Sunday, on the way ta Churcli I saw a sight out of thc aid days, Alan Dawncs bad a sîcigli load of people and was cutting across a field near ic road. That is what Uic farmers and deivery men used to do, flot because tbey wantcd te but because Uic snow on tic roads was too dcep and the fields wcrc safer. The Sunday Service opcned wiUi Uic Hymn, "To God Be The Glory", Uic Invitation te Warship, Uic Prayer of Approach, Uic bymn, "Wben I Survcy the Wondrous Cross", followcd by Uic Prayer of Scîf-Examination and Uic Words of Assurance. The childrcn wcre callcd forward, David asked Uicm what the colour of the stole he was wearing was, it was purpie. He askcd tbem wbaî colour he haît been wearing since Christmas, Uiey answcred, green. The colour purplc is Uic start of a ncw season, a bcginning, in Uic Churcli scason. The beginning of life, new growtb, Uiai is whaî Uic word Lent mneant in Uic aid days. The Ciurcb feut the Crucifixion of Jesus was Uic heginning of new life. Aftcr tic Lord's Prayer and Uic hymn, "He Paid A Dclii", Uic children went oui ta Sunday School. The Scripturc readings wcre from, John Il: 1-16, 14: 1-7, 20: 24-28. The sermon was titlcd, "in Uic Stcps of Thomas." Wben we Uink of Jesus and Uic twelve disciples,, we cani proably name quite a few of them but forget the resi, Thomas always seems ta get lefi oui, If wc do Uink of bim, we tbink of, doubting Thomas. This phrase is usually used as a put down, Uic Bible says little about Thomas, but history has callcd hirn, Uic iwin of Jesus. Thomas is seldoni mentioned in Uic books of Uic Biblc, yet be was very important in Uic life of Jesus. He was'a carpenter and Jesus chose bim. He loved Jesus and Jesus loved Thomas. Thomas was a strong man pbysically and hc was a cautiaus man, fit saw Uings as they wcre. Thamas neyer, pushed for position or favour. He neyer boasted, lie knew what bcing a followcr of Jesusmeant, he kncw what it wasdlikc wlien 'people stoned Jesus. Thomas was witb Jesus whcn Uic message carne Uiat LazareUi was il, but Jesus waitcd two more days, and Uicn told Uic disciples that tbey wcre gaing back, thai Lazaretb was sleeping and that he was going back te heal him. The disciples thought Jesus meant sleeping but il was Thomas that told them, that Jesus really meant Lazareth was dcad. Later whcn Jesus told Uiem that he was going before tbcm ta prepare Uiem a place in bis faUicr's bouse, it was Thomas wbo did flot undcrstand. Thomas was a cicar cYcd realisi, be accept.ed what he saw, he accepted life as it was. When Jesus first appeared ta His 1disciples after bis crucifixion, Thomas was flot present and so he said that he would only believe if, he saw the wounds and was able te touch thcm. On the second appearance of Jesus, Thomas was present, Jesus told bim te toucb the wounds ta place his band in the wound in Jesus side. It was not necessary for Thomas te do this,' he saw Jesus. Although others were called the leaders, it was Thomas the doubter who said let us go with the teacher. Thomas knew that rcturning with Jesus ta, Judea, Thomas knew that charges would bc made up against Jesus and what would happen. Thomas was prepared te face what would happen. Do you follow in thc footstcps of Thomas? Thomas had doubts and fears, lie was flot afraid to say ta Jesus, 1 do net understand, te question. Thomas had Uic courage ta ask and because lie asked, he was answered. Lent is thc urne of renewal. Do you have thc courage ta ask questions of Jesus? Do you have Uie courage ta accept Uic answers? Are you willing ta fallowing in footsteps of Thomas? In response ta God's love thc sang, "Just A Closer Walk Witb Thee" was sung. The Prayer of Concern and Commitment was given, the closing hymn was, "I Heard The, Voice of Jess." Note ta parents of Sunday School childrcn: Beginning on Sunday, Mardi 7th, thc Sunday Scbools of Kendal and Ncwtonville will begmn a new format on an experimental basis. On Uic first ani lasi Sunday of thec month Uic children will go directly ta the Sunday School for a fuili hour of lessons. Tbe oUier Sundays will fallow Uic sanie scbedule as is precntly in place.
