Sandra Cable was the guest speaker on Psalm Sunday, April 2 at Knox United Church, Belgrave. She welcomed the congregation.

Mackenzie Wightman at the piano, supplied prelude music and Lila Procter with her guitar, accompanied all the hymns.

The opening hymn was, “He Came Riding on a Donkey” followed by the call to worship read responsively and the opening prayer. Sandra read the scripture lessons from Matthew 21: 1-22, Matthew 26: 14-30 and Philippians 2: 5-11. Her reflection was entitled, “Which Bystander are You?” The prayer of confession was read responsively. Holy Communion was administered with the congregation partaking together. The closing hymn was, “All Glory Laud and Honour”.

Elwin Garland will be the guest speaker on Easter Sunday, April 9. Everyone is welcome.

Birthday greetings are extended to Ruth King on April 7.

The Community Coffee Break at the Community Centre is on Tuesday, April 11, 9:30-11 a.m. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy fellowship coffee and snacks. We have had a few nice spring days, then we get winter-like weather again. I think we will soon get milder temperatures that will stay. The snowdrops have been out for a while and the daffodils and crocuses are in bud and the tulips are peeking through the soil.

People are getting anxious to get raking and clean up the yard. Some of the golfers will soon be out golfing when the golf course opens. Last year it was April 11, when some of them were out but then it turned cool and wet, so they were delayed for a couple of weeks.

Overall, I think they did alright because some golfed over 100 games.

Hopefully everyone can enjoy Easter by getting together with their family and friends or whatever you choose to do. Stay safe and maybe Mother Nature will give us lots of sunshine and milder temperatures.
