"A Family Tradition for 128 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, July 11, 1995 - 27 Rural RoorTs a ---------- Aim for a star and don't be afraid to dream or Nestleton On a cool Sunday, July 9, Fifth Sunday after Pentecost, Chuck and Carol Hill were the greeters at the door, with a fair attendance at this 9 a.m. ser- vice, with Rev. David Shear- man in charge. He opened the service with the Call to Worship and hymn "I Love to Tell the Story" followed with a time of confession. The minister's sermon, based on Evangelism - the spreading of the Gospel - relating to or maintaining the doctrine that the Bible is the only rule of faith. An excellent message for all to take home.

Offering taken by Chuck and Carol Hill. Service closed with Prayer, Lord's Prayer, Commis- sion, Benediction and singing "Go Now In Peace".

Look up and away, And follow its beckoning beam. Make each tomorrow a better today, And don't be afraid to dream. Aim for a star, and keep your sights With a beautiful faith within, (high) Your feet on the ground, and your eyes on the sky, Some day you are bound to win! The Greatest of These Reason faces up to life, And sees things as they are; Hope sees things as they ought to be, And wishes on a star; Faith dreams of miracles to come That only God can do; Love goes to work with pa- tient hands, dreams come true.
