As part of the annual North Huron Snowarama tradition, the
Londesborough Lions were early to rise and serve
everyone breakfast before they hit the snowmobile trails for
the day. Spending the day outside in their warmest clothes
were John Hoggart, left, and Kelly Boven, who made sure
everyone hit the trails with a full stomach. (Shawn Loughlin photo)

The Happy Gang Seniors will
hold their February meeting at
Londesborough United Church on
Wednesday, Feb. 23, beginning with
a pot luck meal at 12:30 p.m. New
members are welcome.
The village extends condolences
to Murray Govier on the passing of
his sister, Carol Gross of Blyth.
Raymond and Hunter Garvey are
excited to welcome a new sister to
their family. Parents Ryan and Janet
Garvey are just trying to get enough
sleep as the household adjusts to the
demands of a new baby.
Congratulations! The Garvey family
lives in the Armstrong house, so that
means one more pupil for Hullett
Central.
Villagers received word last week
that a former minister of
Londesborough United had passed
away. Rev. Stan MacDonald
ministered to this faith community
from 1970 through 1979. He was a
well -loved pastor and many have
kept in touch with him over the
years.
Following his years preaching in
Hensall and Corunna, Rev. Stan
retired to London. He was Minister
Emeritus at Siloam United Church
for many years and that is where his
funeral was held on Saturday,
Feb. 13. More than one minister
who followed Stan in the
Londesborough pulpit have said
Church service moved for AGM
Concern about the weather and the
condition of the roads obviously
affected church attendance at
Londesborough United Church on
Sunday, Feb. 14. The senior choir
was present and sang the anthem,
"Saving Grace".
During the children's time at the
front with Rev. Fletcher, the love
shared/expressed on Valentine's Day
through cards, flowers and gifts was
discussed.
Terry reminded the children that
on more than one occasion when
Jesus was on earth and in the
company of others, God spoke and
revealed to all His love for Jesus.
Christians should remember God's
example and express our love to
those around us. We are special and
precious to God and we need to
share that love with the whole world.
The message to the adults was titled,
"Being Tempted". The supporting
scripture was Luke 4: 1-13, the
account of Christ's 40 days in the
desert being tempted by the
devil. The responsive psalm was
Psalm 91.
Temptation is a normal part of life.
It is important to recognize it as such
and learn to deal with it. Christ's
humility was tempted in the desert.
He needed to confront who He was
and where His life was headed. The
Devil tempted Christ with power.
Life tempts us with power, worldly
goods, position, etc.
The Kingdom of God is won by
love not power or goods. That love
in us is stronger than temptation/sin
and takes us to the cross.
During this Lenten season Rev.
Fletcher urged congregants to create
a fresh face for God in our daily
lives; to rely on God who draws
near to us in times of temptation;
to use the season wisely in the
spirit of love to all.
The morning service
Londesborough United on Feb.
will be at 9:30 a.m. to accommodate
at the annual meeting at
21 Knox in Auburn.
Dishing out the good stuff
On Pancake Tuesday, several groups throughout the region
had special events going on including the Londesborough
Lions. The group, at the Londesborough Hall last Tuesday,
served up a special pancake dinner. Shown working with
the main course is Irene Pawlik. (Dennyscottphoto)
they felt his presence still.
I experienced some difficulty
purchasing Valentines for my
grandchildren this year. Not just
because they have gotten older, but
because Valentine styles have
changed. I guess change is
inevitable in all areas of our lives.
Since then I came across a little
poem that speaks to that very thing
titled "Special Valentines".
"Valentines of long ago were
trimmed with silk and lace,
Or featured hearts of velvet in
sentimental grace,
Styles and shapes may vary but
Cupid's cards still say,
Their universal language the
love lines of the day."
I found another poem which is too
long to use in this space. However,
the idea in it is worth passing on.
The writer mentions that there are
other ways to say, "I love you"
besides a card — a smile, a cheerful
word, a helping hand, a tender
glance, etc. Then she suggests
"And if we often take the time to
give these friendly signs,
The world will soon be brightened
by our daily valentines."
