Ushering were Nicole Kerr, Brenda Brooks and Mary Lou Stewart. Floyd Herman was music director and Fred Hakkers ran the power point. Pastor Sandra Cable welcomed everyone to church. Reid Button lit the Christ candle on the altar table. The introit was the singing of “Wait for The Lord.” The call to worship was said responsively and the opening prayer was said in unison. The children were asked to come to the front for their story time. Pastor Cable had two calendars in her hands – one was from 2013 and the second was for 2014. Sheexplained to the children thatSunday’s service celebrated “Reignof Christ Sunday.” She alsoexplained to them it was the last Sunday of the church calendar as the new calendar starts in December. Next Sunday will be the first Sunday of Advent and we would be lighting candles the next few Sundays. The candles will be lit - one each Sunday to represent hope, joy, peace and love. The children went downstairs to their time of fellowship with one another at Sunday school. Rev. Cable’s message to the adults was following the journey of the Life of Christ. She explained in the United Church that the colours change in the different seasons of Christ Life. The season of Advent is the colour purple. She had different colours of stoles to represent each colour. The hymn, “All the Earth is Waiting to be Read” was sung. She went on to tell the story of Christmas and she changed her stole to white. The first two verses of the hymn, “Joy to the world” was sung. the choir chose the anthem, “O LittleTown of Bethlehem” written in1865. The next season is the seasonof Epiphany, which is white. Thehymn, “I Am the Light of the World” was sung. The season after Epiphany is represented by the colour green. This is the time in Jesus’ life that He goes to find John the Baptist to be baptized. The season of Lent is the colour purple. This is the Easter story in Jesus’ life. We follow Jesus’ journey to the wilderness, prayer, Jesus choosing His disciples and His journey of His ministry. Holy week is the colour red. The hymn, “All Glory, Laud and Honour” was sung. Maundy Thursday is the colour white. (Good Friday) The hymn, “Were you there” was sung. Holy Sunday has no colour and the season of Easter is white. The hymn, “Jesus Christ is Risen Today” as sung. Pentecost Sunday is red.

(Arthur Pink) “I was silent, I would not open my mouth, for You are the one who has done this!” Psalm 39:9 Realizing that it was the chastening hand of God upon him, David refrained from murmuring. It was not the silence of sullenness, but of meekly acquiescing to the rod. When we are in our right minds, we shall have nothing to object against God’s dealings with us, or dispute with them. God is sovereign in the acts of His providence--and therefore an important branch of our obedience unto Him lies in suffering His will, as well as in doing His will. That obedience is evidenced by refusing to repine against Him by the utterance of any impatient words. Shall vile dust and ashes censure the providential dealings of the Most High God or impugn His goodness?Let all God’s treatment of us be both wondrous and righteous in our eyes. “If our hope is in God for a happiness in the eternal world--then we can well afford to reconcile ourselves to all the dispensations of Divine providence concerning this world.” (Matthew Henry) The consideration that all our afflictions are appointed by our loving heavenly Father, should silence all complaints. It did so with David. He knew they came not by chance, but according to divine appointment. After months of acute suffering, and still in agony of body, the last words of John Calvin were, “Lord, You grind me to powder, but it suffices me because it is Your hand.” “God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it!” Hebrews 12:10-11 A Grace Gem Submitted by: Immanuel United Reformed Church, Listowel, ON 519-291-1956 Unique works of art, gift baskets, gourmet foods.

North Huron Township Council found out that, due to the number of changes being requested by it to the intersection of County Road 4 and Highway 25 (Blyth Road), a deputation to Huron County Council would be required. Council had previously requested that a slower zone be put up on the eastbound section of Highway 25 approaching County Road 4. Currently, the zone is labeled a 90 kilometre an hour zone up until the stop sign. The request for the change was put through to the Huron County Public Works Department. Council also requested that flashing lights be put on top of the existing stop signs to prevent motorists from entering the intersection without stopping. Councillor James Campbell noted that this change in particular was important because many of the people who enter the intersection dangerously do so travelling westbound on Highway 25. He noted that, especially during the pre- dusk time, sunlight could blind drivers approaching the intersection from the east causing them to miss the stop sign despite the fact that it is a 60 kilometre an hour zone. Public Works Director Kelly Church explained, when asked by council why it would need to send a delegation, that the number of changes being requested were outside the norm. Councillor Archie MacGowan had supported a delegation, but did voice some concern about the necessity of it, however Church's explanation of the situation made things clearer for MacGowan who said that, since the red, flashing light is essential, the delegation should be sent.
