It was a wonderful worship service as we again heard the reading of the Scripture Lessons that relate the timeless Christmas story read by Bishop Helen Kennedy, Rev. Dale Gillman, Colleen McNichol, Lydia Dzurich, Susan Parish, Vanessa Richter, Susan Smith, Dennis Simpson and Vivian Hill.
We joyfully sang the familiar old carols led by organists Jeanine Knoblauch and Ruth Anne Richter. Special musical selections were “See Amidst the Winter Snow,” with Ruth Anne Richter on vocals and Roland Richter on guitar, and Dennis Kresier “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,” backed by Deacon Jack Robson.
This traditional service always directs our thoughts on the real meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Following the Service, everyone enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner at the hall, catered by Ken and Arlene Ewen. Special thank you to photographer Dennis Simpson and to Doreen Riach for organizing & printing the Service program.
