PEOPLE AROUND
BELGRAVE
The Belgrave Women’s Institute
potluck luncheon is on Tuesday,
March 15 at noon in the lower hall.
The speaker, Gloria Topping, will
speak on Haiti – one year after the
earthquake. Special guests are the
winners of the public speaking
contest at East Wawanosh Public
School. Come out and enjoy the last
potluck of the winter season.
On March 14 from 1 p.m. to 4
p.m. Belgrave Variety will hold a
fundraiser for the Alzheimer Society
called Coffee Break (coffee, tea, hot
chocolate and homemade treats). All
proceeds will be donated to the
Alzheimer Society.
The community congratulates
Rev. Tom Murray and Brenda
Murray on the birth of their
grandson born Feb. 23 (two days
after Tom’s birthday.)

Florence McArter and George
Fletcher greeted worshippers and
handed out the service of worship at
Knox United Church on
Transfiguration Sunday, March 6.
Rev. Tom Murray welcomed the
congregation. The opening to
worship was read responsively.
After Rev. Murray lit the Christ
Candle the hymn, “We Praise You,
Creator” the song of creation and
providence was sung. Come,
Receive God’s Blessing was the
senior choir’s anthem accompanied
by Elizabeth Procter.
Rev. Murray read a whispered
reflection based on Ephesians 4: 17-
24 (New International Version).
The hymn of Praise and
Thanksgiving was “The Church’s
One Foundation”. A word for
Today’s People was taken from
Peter I: 13-21 – The Message.
God’s word was entitled, “Just
Like Jesus, Heart and All!” What if
for one day Jesus woke up in your
body and walked in your shoes,
lived in your home, and assumed
your calendar of activity. The only
change: his passions drive your
decisions and direct every step.
Jesus’s heart is pure and it dwells in
each one of us. Look into your own
heart and see yourself and Jesus.
Ken Procter and Allen Walker
took up the offering which was
dedicated with prayer. The Song of
Jesus’ Teaching was “He Came
Singing Love”.
Communion at God’s Table was
administered by Rev. Murray, Ken
Procter (chair of session) and
session members Pat Hunking,
Brian Potter, Allen Walker, Don
Procter and John Campbell sharing
and serving the bread and
wine/juice.
The closing hymn and the song of
our lenten journey was “Throughout
These Lenten Days”. The call to
mission was read responsively and
the choral blessing, “Go Now in
Peace” concluded the morning
worship service.

Jesus do in your shoes
Council lends bridgemoney for bus trip
North Huron Council has decided
to lend the Wingham Heritage
Theatre “bridge money”
to help them prepare for
an upcoming trip to Cirque de
Soleil.
The theatre group, which recently
sold out a bus to a similar event at
Stage West, a family resort in
Mississauga, is using the trip as a
fundraiser, but doesn’t have the
necessary $2,700 to purchase the
tickets ahead of time.
The $2,700 that council has
decided to provide the group with
will cover 44 tickets, without
dealing with transportation.
The group, according to an e-mail
that councillor Alma Conn of
Wingham Ward received and read to
council, stated that they “would
have no trouble selling” due to a
local individual being involved with
the Cirque.
Conn stated that the group has had
success with these kinds of bus trips
as a fundraiser, but did mention that
the tickets are non-refundable if
they don’t sell.
“I realize we don’t typically loan
money, but we do have loans out
there and do loan money to the
Musical Muskrat Festival for startup
funds,” Conn said to council. “We
could do the same here. Neither the
Wingham Heritage Theatre nor the
Musical Muskrat Festival owe any
money right now.”
A motion to lend the money was
proposed by councillor Ray
Hallahan, and was seconded by
Councillor Brock Vodden for
discussion
Councillor Bernie Bailey
wondered why there wasn’t funding
for these kinds of events through the
Recreation Department, but was
informed that the group had
approached that department and
found little interest.
The theatre group used to be a
committee of council, but was not
included in a bylaw passed earlier in
the year outlining representation in
such groups.
The motion was passed
unanimously.
