Public Works Superintendent Ralph Campbell explained that twice this summer the limb pile has been burnt out and that situation,paired with the one day a month ofbillable hours it takes to clean, hasmade him believe it’s not a worthwhile endeavour. “I say if people want to get rid of limbs, they have to take them to the landfill,” he said.

Ushering were Lavern Clark, Emily Phillips and Lori Brooks. Floyd Herman was music director and Fred Hakkers ran the power point. David Onn welcomed everyone to church in the absence of Rev. Gary Clark. David drew everyone’s attention to the announcements printed in the bulletin with special attention that the Vacation Bible School would like snacks for the week of July 16 to July 20. The call to worship “Come All You People” was sung followed by the prayer of approach and the first hymn “For the Beauty of the Earth”. The scriptures were from Isaiah 11:6 and Luke 10: 25-37. The choir sang the anthem, “Amazing Grace”. The message to the adults was “Theology of the Hammer” presented by Agues Lempreire and Glen Hayter. Glen was dressed as a carpenter and Agues asked him many questions about Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity is made up of volunteers. Tradespeople volunteer their time to help teach others to build. Habitat for Humanity is not a handout but a “handup”. Habitat Canada in 1985 built over 2,000 homes in Canada. May of 2005 it included the eighth home built in Clinton.
