David Shearman conducted the service and Car- ol Mairs was the able pianist. The children's theme and the sermon topic "Parades - various kinds" was challenging and most interesting. Scripture reader was Regenia Walker - taken from Isaiah, Psalms, Mark and Philippians. The children sang two songs, waving their palm leaves, with Joanna Malcolm the leader and Katie Mairs the pianist. David and Kyle Walker gathered the offering and the Doxology was sung. After the final hymn was sung - Benedition and Three- fold Amen closed the service. Good Friday service to be held at Nestleton United Church at 11 a.m. - a joint ser- vice for the charge. We will wel- come Blackstock United next Sunday. Be sure to set your clock ahead one hour next Sat- urday night - daylight saving time. Thinking of You We wish a speedy recovery to all our church members who are ill - our thoughts are with you as each day passes - trust for a speedy recovery soon. Sometimes the road is a long one - and pain walks beside us awhile - Be not afraid - only be- lieve God's hand is in yours through your trial! The Bright Side Some people see rainbows while others just rain; Some people see failures while others see gain; Some people see dark clouds while others see sun; Some people have worries while others have none. And the reason for this is quite sim- ple, I guess - Some will look at the bright side to find happi- ness! There are two kinds of people on earth - the people who lift and the people who lean! Some Bs for your Bonnet Be enthusiastic - it's contag- ious. Be informed - it pays to know. Be energetic -it gets results. Be friendly - it wins friends. Be sincere - it begets respect. Be faithful - it encourages others. The Little Things It's the little things in life that count - the things of every day; Just the simple things that we can do - the kind words we cansay; The little things like a friend- ly smile - for those who may be sad; The clasp of a hand or kindly deed - to help make someone glad. A knock on the door of lonely homes - or flowers bright and gay. For someone to whom you might bring cheer - with just a small bouquet. Just the little greetings here and there - on which so much depends. The little pleasures that all can share - the joy of making friends. Virginia Katherine Oliver Nestleton Presbyterian Church The regular service in Nestle- ton Presbyterian Church was celebrated as Palm Sunday at 11 a.m. with the Sunday School pupils bringing their Palm branches, as they went to their class. Peggy Jones was the teacher. The familiar hymns on this theme were played by Joyce Taylor, organist. The ushers were Sandra Sorley and Barney McCabe. Psalm 31 was read respon- sively and the Scripture read- ings were from Isaiah 50 and Mark 15. Rev. Fairley spoke on "T'rust" which supports us when the darkness of the world sur- rounds us as a net, and we have fo deal with jealousy, hate, ill- ness, fear and death, and con- tinue to walk in the light of God's love. 2 Easter Service will be held next Sunday, April 3.
