helpers to pray also. As Jesus travels
from town to town, He sees the
people in distress. Jesus offers hope
and healing to these people. We are
all different and if we share our
dreams the magic can happen.
Communities are full of love and
sharing the burden helps everyone.
Hillary told of her trip to
Nicaragua and how poor the country
was. They built homes for the people
to live in and to make their life
better. They shared their stories and
songs and laughter. Jesus tells us to
care for one another and to use our
gifts to help others. We, the church
are the body with Christ at our
centre.
The next hymn was "I, the Lord of
Sea and Sky". The offering was
received followed by the offertory
response, "Grant Us God the
Grace", the offertory prayer, the
prayers for the people, silent prayers
and the singing of the Lord's Prayer.
The last hymn, "Will You Come
and Follow Me?" was followed by
the benediction and the singing of
the response, "I Am Walking a Path
of Peace, Love and Joy". Everyone
was invited for Father's Day cake
with coffee or tea.

the theft of two Ford Super Duty

located just south of Dungannon.
The second truck, a white 2017 Ford
F-450 Super -Duty Platinum Edition,
was stolen from a business located
on Dungannon Road. The thieves
forced entry into the business by
smashing through a perimeter gate,
then forced entry into the business
where they located the keys to the
Ford F-450 Super Duty.
Later that day around 3 p.m. police
received a call from a property
owner in Huron -Kinloss to report he
had located the Ford F-450 Super
Duty stuck in a swamp on his
property. The vehicle was towed out
and was processed by investigators.
Police are still searching for the
