Municipality of Morris-Turnberry will be held:
Tuesday, March 31 at 7:30 p.m. Regular Council Meeting
Tuesday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m. Regular Council Meeting
Doug Walker greeted worshippers
and handed out the service of
worship on Sunday, March 22 at
Knox United Church. Student
minister Brian Hymers welcomed
the congregation on Lent 5 and went
over the announcements and then lit
the Christ candle.
After the call to worship was read
responsively the opening hymn,
“Now the Green Blade Rises” was
sung and the morning prayer and the
prayer of confession was read in
unison. The choir sang, “Fairest
Lord Jesus” and the congregation
shared the peace of Christ.
After the children’s hymn, “Jesus
Loves Me,” the children gathered in
the front pew for story time with
Brian. He told them the story of two
sisters named Mary and Martha.
Mary and Martha were two of Jesus’
good friends. They were getting
ready for a big dinner party for Jesus
at their home. They had invited all
his good friends. That night many
people sat down at Mary and
Martha’s table. Martha was busy as
always. Mary did a surprising thing;
she took some perfume that cost of
lot of money and poured it on Jesus’s
feet. She then wiped his feet with her
hair. Mary gave Jesus the perfume as
a gift. She loved Jesus just as we
love our parents. We could be nice to
people and show them our love by
helping. After the Lord’s Prayer, the
children adjourned to Sunday
school.
The congregation listened to the
word of God as Becky Bartman read
1 Kings 17: 8-16 and Psalm 51
responsively and the she read from
John 12: 1-11.
Brian reflected on this being the
fifth week of Lent which ends on
Palm Sunday. Everything is so
abundant, why do we try so hard to
destroy all the things that God so
abundantly gives us? We constantly
blame God for everything that goes
wrong. God knows we make
mistakes and God understands each
and everyone of us. We are all
children of God and are equal. All
we need is faith.
The hymn of praise was “Go to
Dark Gethsemane”. Gord Folkard
reported on the minute for missions.
Doug Walker and Larry Harper
took up the offering which was
dedicated. The closing hymn, “He
Leadeth Me” and the singing of “Go
Now in Peace” concluded the
morning worship service.

Swiss Chalet supper at the Belgrave
Community Centre on Wednesday,

St. Patrick’s Day was a bright and
crisp day when 10 Women’s Institute
members came together at Knox
United Church, Belgrave. They met
at noon and enjoyed a bag lunch
together.
President Nancy Jardin welcomed
all and read the “Isle of Emerald”,
“An Old Irish Prayer” and “Deep
Peace” - an old Gaelic rune. The
meeting began with the opening ode
and Mary Stewart Collect. Dianna
Robinson presented the minutes of
the last meeting, the financial report
and correspondence received. Roll
call was answered with reports of
volunteer hours and answering the
question, “are you wearing
green?” – everyone was!
The Belgrave branch joined a WI
meeting in Auburn on March 19 to
plan for the Huron West District.
Doreen Marks announced the
categories for the Elementary
School Fair which will be held in
Belgrave on Wednesday, Sept. 9.
Financial planning included gifts to
be purchased and honourarium
fees for the new Women’s Institute
year.
Time was spent preparing a
proposed slate of officers both for
the Huron West District and the
Belgrave branch. Mabel Jacklin

As part of a $10,000 pledge to the Building Bridges Fund at
the Maitland River Elementary School, the Wingham Lions,
represented by President Joe Collison, donated $5,000 to
the school earlier last month. The fund helps with
purchases that aren’t covered in the cost of a new school
like playground equipment, greenfield development,
musical instruments and other staples of school life.
Collison’s visit coincided with the school’s Valentine and
Pajama Spirit Day. From left: Mary Sabourin, Principal Alice

Morris-Turnberry’s contract with
Bluewater Recycling is up for
renewal later this year and the
municipality’s council is considering
changing it up.
Currently, the municipality pays
$132,233.24 for Bluewater
Recycling, which owns the wheelie
bins used by ratepayers, to pick up
garbage and recycling. The charge
covers 1,579 properties of which
833 are urban, 452 are rural, 59 are
industrial or commercial and 235 are
serviced by depot collection.
The existing contract has weekly
urban pick-up and bi-weekly rural
pick-up.
Staff came forward with a
document on March 17 that would
request a quote from Bluewater
Recycling for automated co-
collection, which is both waste and
recycling in the same truck, with
four different options.
The options include different pick-
up schedules including weekly
urban and rural bi-weekly pick-up
(one side of the road each collection
for both rural and municipal);
weekly urban and rural bi-weekly
(both sides for both); urban weekly
(both sides) and rural bi-weekly (one
side) and bi-weekly urban (both
M-T considers different
refuse collection schedule
