A social group within the Church primarily established for the "older" young people - which started with the 30's and 40's group and quickly encompassed anyone from their 20's to their 70's- to provide a means of social enjoyment once a month for the couples and singles of the congregation. It should be added that those of us who were in our 40's, fourteen years ago, are now that much older.
This group is designed to give persons with simple interests and religious background an opportunity to enjoy fun and fellowship in doing things together.
What We Are NOT:
We and NOT a Bible Study or Prayer Group. Our main purpose is not necessarily that of religious study- although at our regular meetings we have time for a short devotional meditation.
What We Do:
We enjoy bowling, outings to our Association Campsite at Long Lake, good food, evenings of parlour games, special speakers on topics of interest, have made visits to places such as the Weather Office, International Airport, tours of buildings, places, naval vessels, barbecues and many other enjoyable pursuits.
We also are prepared to assist in whatever way we can and have, in the past, taken the evening worship service. We hold fund raisers within the group in support of the Summer Ministry and other vital aspects of the Church. At Easter, we organize and do the Annual Easter Breakfast for the Church.
We are there for the mutual encouragement of the others in our group and support in times of distress and need.
We are organized with a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Program Coordinator, Treasurer and Telephone Committee and these positions are elected at our meeting in January.
Having been led, as we believe, to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, and, on a profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, we do now solemnly and joyfully covenant with one another.
That, aided by the Holy Spirit, we will walk together in brotherly love, with Christian sympathy and kindness; exercise a Christian care and watchfulness over one another, and tenderly and faithfully admonish and help as may be needful; faithful in our engagements; cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech; participate in one another's joys; bear one another's burdens and sorrows; be slow to take offence and always ready for reconcilation;
That we will not neglect the services of the church, and will habitually observe secret prayer and the reading of the Scriptures, earnestly seeking therein the help of the Holy Spirit;
That we will strive for the advancement of this church in all its spiritual and temporal interests, and will sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline and doctrines; that, according to our ability, we will contribute regularly to its support and ministries, particularly in the spread of the gospel at home and abroad; and that we will endeavor to lead to Christ our friends and acquaintances;
That we will co-operate with other churches, and Christian agencies in the fight against all organized and unorganized evils;
That in case of removal from this place we will, as soon as possible, unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant; And through life, amidst evil report and good report, we will seek to live to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
