been harvested Monday.
Nancy Folkard read "Lighting of
the Christ Candle" and then Gord
Folkard lit it. After the call to
worship was read in unison,
everyone stood for a minute
of silence followed by singing
"0 Canada".
The opening hymn, "0 God Our
Help in Ages Past" was sang and the
opening prayer was read in unison.

of assurance the children's hymn,

Costs for cat
control concern
M -T's Smuck
A bill for animal control raised
some eyebrows at a recent Morris-
Turnberry Council meeting.
As part of council's review of the
monthly expenditures, Councillor
John Smuck was curious as to what
caused a $630.56 bill from
Wingham Veterinary Clinic.
When informed it was for the
euthanasia of a group of cats,
Smuck said council would need to
discuss the issue.
"I thought we were going to talk
to the vet clinic to try and get a little
better rate," he said, adding the cost
was higher than he expected it to be.
Morris-Turnberry Administrator
Clerk -Treasurer Nancy Michie
explained the township had
discussed the issue with the clinic
and that this was a second group of
cats, while the first cost between
$700 and $800.
"The cost does add up," she said.
No action was taken regarding the
issue and the accounts for the month
were approved as presented.

showed the children a Poppy. We
wear poppies to honour the people
who fought for us in the battlefields.
A Poppy is a symbol all over the
world. Money is raised selling
poppies and is used to help the
orphans who lost parents in the war.
Today we enjoy freedom. The
soldiers paid a price for our freedom.
We have freedom from Jesus Christ.
Jesus died to set us free. We need to
stop and thank God for our freedom.
Jesus paid the penalty for our sins.
The children adjourned to Sunday
school. We listened to the word of
God as Lila and Ken Procter read
scripture from Thessalonians 2: 1-5,
13-17 and Psalm 145 read
responsively with the congregation
and Luke 20: 27-38.
For reflections, Nancy reflected on
angels which are ornaments, they are
on greeting cards and posters. They
are a symbol of Christmas. In
heaven, life will not match our life
on earth. We will be children of God
or angels. When we have faith our
fear is wiped away. Angels are
created by God. Have you ever
called on a guardian angel for help?
Angels can act as a messenger. We
need to choose life and not fear as
we enter into the future. We need to
be willing to give God our lives. It is
all a matter of faith.
"Weep for the Dead" was the
hymn of response. Nancy Jardin
reported on the minute for mission.
Larry Harper and Doug Walker took
up the offering which was dedicated.
The closing hymn, "When Will
People Cease Their Fighting", the
benediction and blessing, "Go Now
in Peace" concluded the morning
worship service.
