It just seems the right place to be on the eve of that most important day when we celebrate how God broke into our world and history by sending His Son Jesus Christ to save us. Once again this year, families young and old, gathered together for the annual tradition of spending Christmas Eve at Huron Chapel. The sanctuary was full and one could sense the awe and hush of the Holy Night. As I studied the crowd waiting in anticipation of what the night and next day would bring, I was reminded of the words of that Christmas carol, “All is calm, all is bright”. It is indeed a special time like no other in the year. One of the things I adore about the Christmas Eve service are the children. They are not just spectators, but are very much involved in the evening festivities. The young brother and sister team of Sam and Amanda McNeil sang, “Go Tell It On The Mountain” after their mother, Heidi, had all the kids up on the stage to hear a special Christmas story. Cadi Baan sat up on the piano bench and played, “O Come All Ye Faithful” for the congregation. Sisters, Briella, Naomi and Sophia Campbell were excited to share their favorite song, “Little Drummer Boy” with those in attendance. Little Sophia, who is just beginning to talk in broken sentences, sparkled as she added her crucial part to the song singing, “pa rum pum pum pum.” The evening ended with the house lights were turned off as each person lit a candle throughout the sanctuary. As candle light filled the room we sang together, “O Holy Night”. It was a wonderful evening. I was excited to recently receive on loan from Karen Webster a 1954 Auburn calendar from Knox United Church. As I scanned through the first couple of weeks in the 61-year- old calendar, I notice a few surnames we still recognized today. On Jan. 9 Mrs. Albert Campbell turned 65. Rev. H.J. Snell would have celebrated a birthday on Jan. 14. NEWS FROM AUBURN By Mark Royall Call 519-441-2223 PEOPLE AROUND AUBURN Christmas Eve service a highlight at Auburn chapel Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh farmer and wind turbine opponent Shawn Drennan says his next steps are uncertain after his long-running appeal of a proposed wind turbine project was dismissed late last month. The dismissal was announced on Dec. 29. The appeal dealt with the 140-turbine project proposed by K2 Wind, but also two other projects, a 92-turbine project owned by Armow Wind and a 15-turbine project owned by St. Columban Energy. In an interview, Drennan said he would wait through the holidays before commenting any further, but that he hoped to read the decision in detail before deciding how to next proceed. He also hoped to consult with his lawyer, noted human rights lawyer Julian Falconer, before taking his next step. Michael Sheehan, a spokesperson for K2 Wind, says he hoped the late- December decision would finally put an end to the challenges facing the project. With about half of the project’s 140 turbines now erected, he said he hoped commercial operation of the project would begin in mid-2015. ACW, HE turbine appeal dismissed
