I’m sure each pot was filled with love, prayers and a special story about firefighters in their lives. So to the firefighters, their families and the secret cooks, bless you all. The snow in the past week has also made us pause. I enjoy snow days as much as the school kids and when activity is restricted, I hope everyone who needs to be on the roads keeps safe. Snow and especially this heavy stuff brings us to a full stop and it’s a good time to determine a need or a want to travel. Stay home unless you’re having a baby. Put Feb. 9 on your calendar to support the Ministerial T-party. Baked goods can be donated to increase this fund. This is a community pot that the ministers have available to help folks with emergency funds. So please bake then come and have tea in the morning of Feb. 9 at the Presbyterian church, the one north of the river on Dunedin Street. Help our community be ready to help our community. It’s good to know Sharon Freeman is back in town. Life in hospital is sometimes necessary, but home is the best place to recover. Keep getting better Sharon. As annual meetings take place the inventory of the work accomplished is discussed. Volunteers remain a major issue, so if you can organize your life to help with one of the many good groups we have working in Brussels, offer your help and be clear about the time and duties you can joyfully handle. Choose your interest and give a nice thing back to our community, we’ll all win. Bye now, Betty G.W. In the Jan. 24 installment of Hullett Central Public School news in The Citizen, student Morgan Howson interviewed the school’s community representative Joan Goodall. Joan was mistakingly misidentified as Jane Goodall. The Citizen apologizes for the error. The service at LondesboroughUnited Church on Sunday, Jan. 27was led by members of thecongregation. Kerri Grant was organist for the service.The flowers on the piano thatmorning had been placed in memoryof Angela Konarski by her family.Other floral tributes in the sanctuarywere placed by the family ofGenevieve Allen in her memory.Popcorn making was a hit with the children gathered at the front forstory time. Crystal Whyte had thechildren measure out half a cup ofpopping corn into a hot air popper. The result was 13 cups of popcorn. The children recognized that half a cup didn’t seem like much but it had great results. Similarly the loons and toons the children bring for collection to Sunday School don’t seem like much but when added together, they buy supplies and pay for skating and swimming parties for the whole Sunday School. Also, Crystal pointed out, the random and little acts of kindness one may do multiply as the receiver of the kindness gives kindness to someone else. Those little deeds we do help God do good in the world. Jane Hoggart presented the Minute for Missions titled “Harvest for Hunger”. It was a report of the various ways Trinity United Church in Upper Onslow, Nova Scotia raised$20,000 for the CanadianFoodGrains Bank, a United Churchof Canada’s mission partner. Ken Hunking presented the message prepared by Terry Fletcher, “The First Sign”. The supporting scripture passages were Nehemiah 8:10 and John 2:1-11. The Gospel of John offers a recounting of the story of Christ’s first miracle or sign, the turning of the water into wine at a wedding in Cana. Turning simple water into wine reinforces the knowledge that God can enter our own simple and colourless lives and make them rich and fulfilling full of joy and love. Carmen Drost led the congregation in various other aspects of the service. The official board meeting of Londesborough United has been moved to Tuesday, Feb. 5 beginning at 7:30 p.m. Volunteers a key issue at local groups’ AGMs Correction The Walk for Memories The annual Walk for Memories to benefit the Alzheimer Society of Huron and Perth was held in Wingham at F.E.
