Veteran's Day Service

Sunday November 21, 2004 was an Old Fashion Pilgrim Thanksgiving Service.  It started with our greeters dressed as Pilgrims.  The women church members were seated on one side of the sacristy and the men on the other.  In the earliest Pilgrim days the call to worship was given on a conch shell or by a drummer.  Our children led the procession beating a drum and ringing bells.  The tithing man opened and closed the service by tapping three times on a wood block (in olden days he used a tithing pole and tapped it three times on the floor).  The Beadle carried a large, old Bible in the procession of participants and placed it on the pulpit, opened to the first reading.   In the early church, there were no musical instruments.  The Precentor sang a line and the congregation then repeated that line.  It was a fun lesson on the way our forefathers worshipped.
