Hopper. Austin Bieman competed

Forest at the district level and

brother, Hilton Wilson passed away.
The community extends sincere
sympathy to Florence Wightman and
families.
Student minister Brian Hymers
welcomed the congregation and the
congregation sang Holy, Holy, Holy.
After the lighting of the Christ
candle the opening hymn, “Hosanna,
Loud Hosanna” was sung. The
morning prayer was read in unison
and the prayer of confession
responsively.
After the senior choir sang
“Gloria” the congregation shared in
the Peace of Christ by greeting one
another. The children’s hymn, “He
Came Riding on a Donkey” was
followed by the children gathering
in the front pew for story time.
The children and Brian paraded up
the aisles of the church shouting
Jesus is number one! On Palm
Sunday Jesus rode into town on the
back of a small donkey. The streets
were covered with palm branches
and the cheers of Hosanna (the
congregation) were heard as the
procession entered through the town
gates. The people praised God in
loud words for the wonderful things
Jesus had done. Jesus rode to the big
city of Jerusalem and the crowds
followed him. The leaders of the
people were angry because the
people did not follow them anymore.
They said “we must get rid of
Jesus”. The choir shouted “We are
going to get you.”
After the Lord’s Prayer, the
children adjourned to Sunday
school. We listened to the Word of
God by Roger Hopper reading
Samuel 16: 1-13 and the
congregation reading responsively
and Debbie Hopper reading from
John 13: 1-17.
Brian reflected on starting our
journey together with the first
Sunday of Easter (Palm Sunday).
Most parades are organized
but this one wasn’t – it was Jesus
riding on a donkey with many
people following him. These
were the people of Christ. Jesus is
not the King yet. Jesus knew
that not everyone liked him. The
leaders were angry with him and
Jesus knew they wanted to kill him.
Jesus still had his special friends.
One night, they all got together for
dinner and while they were
eating, Jesus got up and put a towel
on like an apron and poured water
into a large bowl. He began to wash
his friends’ feet. Jesus said “I
showed you how to be kind to each
other.”
After the hymn of response,
“Ride On Ride On”, Nancy Jardin
gave a report on the minute for
missions. Gord Folkard and Doug
Shiell took up the offering which
then was dedicated. The closing
hymn, “All Glory, Laud and
Honour”, singing of “Go Now in
Peace” and the extinguishing of the
Christ candle concluded the morning
worship service.
On Friday, April 3 there is a Good
Friday service at Knox United
Church at 11 a.m. A sunrise service

Council gives farmers’
market okay to use land
After two near-starts in the past
year, North Huron Township
Council gave its blessing to an
organization hoping to start a
farmers’ market in Wingham.
The market is proposed to run
Wednesday afternoons from 3:30
p.m. until 7 p.m. from June 3
through Oct. 14.
In a presentation made to North
Huron Council on March 16 by
consultant Joan Brady, the possible
benefits of a market in Wingham
were outlined.
Brady, who works with
Sustainable Futures, has been a
farmers’ market vendor since 2002
and worked on boards that
established the farmers’ markets in
Grand Bend, Howick and Exeter.
She was also involved with the
Huron Business Development
Corporation when it helped to create
the Howick and Brussels farmers’
markets.
“I’ve worked with farmers and
local food system supporters locally,
provincially, nationally and
internationally,” she said.
Brady said the market, which had
a stated goal of being homegrown,
viable, vibrant and helping to build a
healthier, better connected
community in Wingham, could
bring a lot of benefit to the area.
The board came to council to
request the use of the municipal
parking lot in Wingham in front of
the Wingham Foodland and
bordered by Farley Lane, Victoria
Street and David Street.
While Brady admitted there could
be some concern for having a
farmers’ market in front of a grocery
store, she said that in other areas,
instead of hurting nearby grocers, it
helped them.
“When we started in Exeter, there
was some concern that Sobeys being
visible would be a problem, but the
busiest day for [the grocer] was the
day the farmers’ market was open,”
she said. “People would get things
from the farmers’ market and then
go to the grocer to finish their
shopping trip.”
Brady said that, on average, a
market customer spends $30 per trip
and for each dollar spent, three are
