(Denny Scott photo) Church marks anniversary Rev. Paul Ross seemed right at home in the pulpit at Londesborough United Church on Sunday, Oct. 22 conducting the anniversary service. He made himself known to the boys and girls who gathered at the front for the children's time, none of whom would have known him from the time he spent as Londesborough United's minister. He noted that perhaps he had spent time at the front with some of their parents. Paul and his puppet friend, Charlie Horse, remarked that they were glad the children were a part of this congregation. The Szusz-McNall Connection were also guests that morning sharing their singing talents. The quintet favoured the congregants with "Christ Alone" and "Day by Day". Londesborough United's senior choir offered its anthem during the receiving of the offering, "I Will Share God's Love". As supporting scriptures for his sermon, Rev. Ross chose Jeremiah 32: 6-15 and Matt. 13: 1-9. Jeremiah told about the planting of seeds on different types of soils. The Matthew passage was an account of the time Jesus told many parables from a boat. The responsive psalm was Psalm 84. At the beginning of the service Rev. Ross asked those in attendance to ponder during the service this question "What do you love about this church?". At the end of the service persons offered these remarks: people and fellowship, music, support felt, energy, sense of family, history, open mindedness and UCW. Rev. Ross encouraged Londesborough United to concentrate on these facets of their church life and adapt to how rural ministry has changed. Paul made several analogies between how farming and rural church/ministry have changed in recent years. His thoughts on farming today are based on the works/beliefs of American farmer Wendell Berry. Berry believes in small family farming adapted to individual practices. Paul feels there is still a place in our world for small churches like Londesborough's. He feels the Londesborough faith community is unique because of its faith and adapting to current issues.He encouraged Londesborough folks to remember that a church is not the building but the people and they need to be creative about their particular circumstances and continue to do what they do best. The Official Board of Londesborough United will meet on Tuesday, Nov. 7 beginning at 7:30 p.m. Londesborough will hold their Remembrance Day service on Sunday, Nov. 12 . Due to conflicts with other similar events, the bazaar at the church has been moved to Saturday, Nov. 18. If you are interested in renting a table, call Sandy Bergsma. Clinton Legion mails poppies PEOPLE AROUND LONDESBORO By BRENDA RADFORD Call 523-4296 The question was posed since last week's picture of the osage oranges, "Why are they called oranges when they are green?" If you smell the spot where the stem came off the fruit they do smell like an orange. The fruit is a nice touch in fall/Thanksgiving decorating. Anna Schmitz tells me that the fruit eventually gets brown and then when they are cut the fruit pulp can be used for dying fabric. The dye is orange in colour. The latest new resident for the village arrived by stork on Oct. 25. Five babies in just a few months is really something for our small village!

We slipped into Clinton Sunday afternoon to pick up a Sunday paper as is our custom. Traffic was light so we took time to drive slowly along the main streets to check out the names on the Remembrance Day banners the town's crew put up this last week. Most names were familiar to us and we remarked that this a wonderful way to thank the families whose members served overseas for our benefit. A walking tour would be safer and the banners could be appreciated more. Our thanks to whomever is responsible for this display. This week you all received an envelope in your mailbox from the Clinton Legion containing a poppy. Please take time to put a donation/payment in the enclosed envelope and return it to the Legion. Our freedom came at a great cost. A small donation for the poppy to the Legion seems to be our due. You could help out even more by putting a stamp on the envelope. Do it today and wear your poppy from now until Nov. 11. The Loder family members who were presenting the P2P Health Sharing Info afternoon at the Londesborough Hall felt they had a worthwhile response. If you missed this event but are still interested they will be doing another sharing at the Benmiller Hall on Nov. 25. FROM LONDESBORO BUY? SELL?
