There will be a lame duck award for
the most leisurely swimmer. Only
500 ducks will be sold and are

familiar with Kelsey Falconer.
Kelsey has shared her singing talent
with us many times. Mom Julie
called the other day to update us on
Kelsey’s training.
Last September Kesley was
accepted into the two-year
performing arts program at Beal
Secondary School in London. The
program is showcasing their talent
May 23-26 and June 1 with a
production of Hairspray. Kelsey has
landed the lead role in that
production. Well done Kelsey.
The show will be held in the Beal
school theatre. Tickets are available
from the Grand Theatre box office
by phone or online.
I would hope every mother’s roses
this week would centre on Mother’s
Day. In this modern day societyfamilies are very busy and mosthouseholds have two jobs. And asthe weather warms up there is agreat deal of work to do outside. Not
to mention the fact that families
have spread out across the country
or around the globe as never before.
It is heartwarming to recognize time
is taken to visit or call to essentially
offer thanks on this particular day.
What is more satisfying than a hug
from a child no matter his/her age?
I did wonder during church that
morning, however, what has
happened to the tradition of wearing
a flower on one’s lapel. In my
mother’s day and passed on it was
expected to visit the garden that
morning for a flower to pin on. It
was a sign of respect, I suppose, for
a white flower was the choice for
someone who had lost their mom to
death.

Service provides chance
to reconnect with family
The service at Londesborough
United Church was a particularly
nice tribute to the date as well.
Many of the mothers in attendance
had extra family members/guests
sharing the pews with them. Peter
and Sherry Postma honoured family
by placing flowers on the memorial
table for us all to consider.
We all renewed our connection
with our faith family by sharing in
Communion. Assisting minister
Terry Fletcher with the sacrament
were Helen Lyons, Brenda
Konarski, Murray Adams, Adrian
Salverda, Mel Knox and Carmen
Drost.
The tradition of holding baptism
on Family Sunday at
Londesborough United brings us all
in touch again with the joy of new
life by welcoming another into our
faith community. Michael and Erin
Yantzi presented their new wee son,
Joshua Paul, to the congregation
that morning. As Fletcher noted,
presenting a child for baptism is a
way for the parents to state to the
world that they stand for Christ.
Welcome, Joshua, to the
Londesborough United family. Lots
