Madill Secondary School’s annual commencement ceremony. The award goes to a student from the Bluevale area who has shown excellent overall achievement. (Jim Brown photo) It was a “full house” on Saturday,Oct. 20 at Huron Chapel Evangelical Missionary Church in Auburn as women from the area gathered for the annual “ABC Fall Renewal Day”. This was the 11th year that the three missionary churches of Auburn, Blyth and Clinton have hosted this inspirational event. Featured speaker Marion Ford from Newmarket has been a Christian motivational speaker for 25 years. In her morning presentation, “The Book of the Lord – The Lord of the Book” she spoke on the “Power of Prayer” and the fact that God is there for us if we will listen. During her afternoon session, she portrayed Catherine Booth (wife of the founder of the Salvation Army William Booth) in a very meaningful drama presentation. Another special feature of the day was “Cupcake Creations” with Pastry Chef Charmaine Baan (daughter of Dave and Dianne Baan of the Walton area). Charmaine is a freelance chef presently working in test kitchens at Loblaws and Bonnie Gordon’s school of Cake Design in Toronto. Her creations provided the ladies with lots of ideas and “taste tests” and a cupcake to take home. A time of inspirational praise and worship through music was led by the Auburn Praise Team (Colleen Scwindt, Cara Stoll, Annie Sparling and Suzanne MacVicar), ending the day on a peaceful note. It was wonderful to see the great intergenerational mix of youngmothers visiting with great- grandmothers and to see the warmth of fellowship, supportive hugs, heart sharing and friends reconnecting. This is just one of three events that the ABC Women present during the year. Their next event will be “Faith in Song” on Friday, Feb. 15 at the Blyth Christian Reformed Church.The special guest performers this year will be a male gospel trio from Kitchener the “Heading Home Trio”. Also featured will be a local musical group (to be announced). The entire community is invited to attend to this concert. Watch The Citizen for more information.
