Hymers focuses on Christmas connections in service PEOPLE AROUND BELGRAVE By Linda Campbell Call 357-2188 John and Sheila Nixon greeted worshippers and handed out the bulletins at Knox United Church on Sunday, Dec. 17. Pastor Brian Hymers welcomed the congregation and lit the Christ candle. The candle was lit for all the ones out in the cold; the ones barren as Elizabeth and Virgin as Mary. The candle was lit as a sign of your spirit for them in recognition of all women for their strength, their leadership and their mothering. The welcoming hymn was "Mary, Woman of Promise". The hymns were accompanied by Ann Clark and Lila Procter. Brian lit the Advent candle, followed by the congregation singing the advent hymn, "Hope Is A Star". Celebration included birthdays for Brian Hymers and Connie Shiell OPP public meetings set By Denny Scott The Citizen After a presentation explaining the finer points of the Ontario Provincial Police billing model, North Huron Council has set two public meetings to facilitate discussion between OPP representatives and the North Huron public. The presentation, which laid out the recently -instated new billing process, didn't include any specific information to Wingham, instead dealing with a sample city similar to Wingham. Council received the report from Rural refugee study presented By Denny Scott The Citizen Stacey Haugen, a Graduate student from Waterloo, recently finished a year studying the benefits and challenges to refugee resettlement in rural areas across Canada and presented her findings to interested stakeholders at the Huron County Museum. Haugen, in an interview with The Citizen, said there were several different findings from her study, which focused on privately sponsored refugees. She said the refugees faced challenges with transportation, services and lack of an Arab or Muslim community in the areas to which they moved. "The rural communities have some services, but those aren't being used, and government services, and English as a second language classes, may not be available," she said. "Typically, these refugees end up going to the cities for these services" As sponsored refugees, however, the displaced individuals entered the area with some infrastructure already in place. Other benefits included lack of traffic, welcoming communities, safe communities, low cost of living and suitable accommodation found for the refugee families. However, Haugen said there was still a wealth of information to be reviewed from the refugees, saying there was no real precedent for the study, although she did liken it to Indo-Chinese immigrants in the 1970s. While the findings were significant, due to the small study, they weren't indicative of the reality these immigrants face on a large scale. "There definitely needs to be more research done," she said. "It was a worthwhile exercise, but there are a lot of opportunities to continue the work" the OPP and set public meetings on Jan. 17 from 3-5 p.m. and from 7-9 p.m. in the Wingham Town Hall Theatre in the upstairs of the Wingham Town Hall. The meeting is public, however, when asked by Deputy -Reeve James Campbell, OPP representatives said that questions from other wards might only be able to be answered if they were somehow related to the Wingham OPP costing presented earlier this year. whose birthdays were Dec. 16 and Ross Higgins will celebrate his birthday Dec. 26. Birthday greetings were extended to each of them and happy birthday was sung. After the call to worship the children went to the front of the sanctuary for a time with Brian. Brian had a Christmas ornament that he had received three years ago from Hayden Jamieson that he had made at secondary school. Each year this special ornament adorns his Christmas tree. It is important to communicate with others by a letter or Christmas card, a phone call or a special gift you have made. It all revolves around the candle of Love. We need to show love to one another. God always loves us no matter who we are. The choir sang a selection and then we listened to the word of God as Kim Walker read from Romans 16: 21-27 and Luke 1: 26-38 and Matthew 1: 18-25. Brian's message revolved around the time he spent with the children. We can spread the love of God by sending cards, letters and the love for one another. With good communication all things run smoothly. God's wish is for us to receive the Savior. It is a sign that God wants us to look up to. God is no different than a parent. God loves each and everyone of us no matter what we do. After the hymn of response "Hark the Glad Sound" was sung Nancy Jardin reported on the Minute for Mission about supporting a local church in Central Newfoundland. Ken Procter and Larry Harper took up the offering which was dedicated. After the Lord's Prayer, the closing hymn, "0 Come All Ye Faithful", the benediction and the blessing, "May the Blessing of God Be Upon You" and the extinguishing of the Christ Wlerry Cfiristmas & ./fappy .1folid-ays A Yarn Store and so much more! info@Stitcheswithatwist.com 519-523-9449 404 Queen St., Blyth, Ontario candle concluded the morning worship service.
