I passed a church this morning which had posted on its sign: Stop, drop and roll will not work in Hell.
(Last week they had: How will you spend eternity? Smoking or non-smoking?)
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've every had.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice. - Meister Eckhart

PRAYER CHAIN
"Prayer is Good"
The congregation at Knox is organizing a "Prayer Chain", anyone wishing to become an active link is asked to contact Rev. Martin Garniss at 377-4527 or Anne Elliott at 859-3698.
The Prayer Chain is comprised of church members/adherents, who when called, will include special prayers in their daily prayer time. When a prayer need is known, the leader or person receiving the request will call one person on the Prayer Chain with the message. That person will then call one person, and it continues until all members of the Chain are contacted. You receive one call and you make one call. All prayer requests are kept confidential.
A meeting will be held at a later date for Chain members to get acquainted with the organization and its networking.

Easter 2010
Easter Services 2010
Our Three Point Charge Good Friday Service was held at St. Andrew’s By-The-Sea at South Baymouth in the evening at 7:30 p.m.. Various congregational members took part in a skit and readings depicting the Easter Story. Pat Hall and her mother Jean McCauley sang the hymn “Tell Me the Story of Jesus” together. It adds so much to our Church services when people share their talents with us.
The Easter Sunrise Service was held on Easter Sunday morning at Fossil Hill, Highway 6 at 7:30 a.m. with approximately 45 people in attendance. The morning was brisk, calm and beautiful. Hot beverages and sweets were provided by the St. Andrew’s congregation to keep us warm during the service.
The service was lead by our Rev. Martin Garniss, with his wife Linda providing the readings. Hymns were sung to music provided by Kim Hall on his guitar. He later accompanied his mom Pat, as she sang a song she wrote entitled “It’s His Love”. This Mother and Son duo provided a lovely addition to the service making it even more special. What a talented family!!
Following the service most returned to Knox United Church Hall in Manitowaning to get warmed up and have even more of St. Andrew’s delicious treats. Later we all scattered to get ready for our respective church services on in the morning.
Following are random pictures taken at the Sunrise Service this year.
