included John Lowe, Mary

delicious.

Comrade Deb Ross has been busy
this past week with her job with
Veteran Affairs as a long-term care
surveyor. She has spent the time
during the past week at the
Ritz Village in Mitchell speaking
and interviewing veterans and
family members. The focus is about
care, support by Veteran Affairs,
support of local Branches and
about the needs of the veterans being
met. She reports that it is very
interesting work and was very
pleased to hear that Mitchell
Branch 128 is excellent in its
interests with the veterans in
Mitchell.
A reminder that the Branch is still
accepting food donations for
the food bank. The first four
boxes of food have been
delivered to the North Huron Food
Bank by Comrade John Lowe.
Whatever the function at the
Legion, donations are gratefully
welcomed.
The Cadet Corp is still collecting
pop cans and returnable bottles.
They can be left at the Branch on
Tuesday for pickup Tuesday
evening by the convenor of the
project. The Branch also collects
the tabs from cans in its continu-
ing support of tabs for
wheelchairs.
The Valentine’s luncheon had over
50 arrive to enjoy the roast pork
dinner. They had all red desserts to
choose from for their sweet tooth.
The hall looked very nice in red and
white with flowers on the tables.
Memberships is still a priority for
the Branch and new members are
welcomed. This week is the
Valentine’s wings, fries and draws
on Saturday. Persons interested in
knowing more about the Branch are
invited to enjoy the evening. Talk to
members and take home an
application form if interested.
Imagine you had a
sales staff calling on
2000 homes a week
That’s what you get when you advertise in The
Citizen. Every week your message, whether a tiny
classified, or a full page ad, goes to more than 2000
homes in North Huron...and unlike many
salespeople, we’re welcomed inside. What’s more,
we’re often asked to stick around for a whole week.
If you’re not taking advantage of this opportunity to
tell people about your business call today.
Put your sales staff to work for you.

MacDonald at 519-523-9274 if you
wish to order. He also reminded the
congregation of the annual meeting
on Feb. 20 after church.
The first hymn was, “When
Morning Gilds the Skies” followed
by the call to worship repeated
responsively, the choral response
and the prayer of invocation
repeated in unison.
The children were asked to come
to the front for their story time. The
children were few in numbers as
some were at Scout winter camp and
others were at a broomball
tournament near Barrie.
Rev. Clark asked the children if
they knew what Monday was.
Valentine’s Day was the answer.
Some of the children showed how
they could cut out a heart from red
paper. Rev. Clark told the children
that a heart was made of love. He
told them of a church in Ontario that
asked its congregation to find an
orphan sock and fill it with loose
change through the year and at
Christmas time they would bring the
socks to church on Orphan Sunday
and use the money to help people
that do not have much. This is
showing that they have heart. The
M&S Fund shows that they have
heart by donating to people who do
not have much money to buy food
and clothing.
The children said a prayer along
with the congregation and went
down to Sunday School for their
time of fellowship. Lola Turford,
Floyd Herman’s granddaughter
carried the Christ Candle down to
Sunday School.
The scripture reading was from
Genesis 29: 15-28. The choir sang
the anthem, “What Goes Around
Comes Around.” Rev. Clark’s
message to the adults was “Your
Desiring Heart”. Desires of the heart
sometimes lead us astray. Because
we desire something it isn’t always
right. Jacob in the scripture desired
Rachel and he made a deal with
Laban, Rachel’s father that he would
work seven years for the hand of
Rachel in marriage. When the time
came, Laban brought his daughter
Leah to Jacob’s bed as it was the
custom that the oldest one should
marry first. Jacob made another deal
of seven years with Laban for
Rachel’s hand in marriage.
Faith is not black or white. We
tend to guard our hearts in case they
get broken. If we keep our hearts
safe, it will never change. We of
Faith guard our hearts and give our
love away. The next hymn,
“Precious Lord Take My Hand” was
sung, followed by the offering being
received, the offering response, the
prayer of dedication, the prayers
for the world and the singing of
The Lord’s Prayer. The hymn,
“O Master Let Me Walk with Thee”
was followed by the commissioning
and benediction and the choral
response, “Sent Forth by God’s
Blessing”.
Rev. Clark said the blessing for the
lunch downstairs and everyone was
invited for lasagna and dessert. The
donations from the luncheon were to
go towards paying for the new aerial
picture of the church and the new
gardens.
