“Lord, Speak to Me” was followed
by the Call to Worship which was
read responsively. “Praise to the
Lord, the Almighty” was the song of
praise. The senior choir of mixed
voices sang “Every Day is a Gift
from the Lord” accompanied by
Elizabeth Procter.
The children and youth gathered
in the front pew for storytime. Rev.
Tom told different things that we
required for our identification. It is
proof of who we are.
In the Bible Thomas doubted that
the other disciples had seen the
Lord. Thomas had to see the nail
marks in Jesus’ hands before hewould believe it was Him. This ishow he would identify that it trulywas Jesus. The children adjourned toSunday School after the singing ofthe hymn, “In the Bulb There is aFlower”.
The reader, Mary Thomas, shared
scripture with responsive reading
Psalm 150 and reading Acts 5: 27-
32.
The congregation sang, “As
Comes the Breath of Spring” for the
song of the Holy Spirits’ presence.
The gospel reading was taken from
John 20: 19-27.
God’s word to us was entitled,
“Who We are Called to Be”. Our
ancestry can be traced right back to
Jesus Christ. We were born to be
Jesus’disciples. He showed proof of
who He was by his wounds. Jesus
died and changed the world with
creation. Everyone of us iscommissioned and have been invitedto be a part of Jesus’ life.The offering was taken up by KenProcter and Mark Stennett. TheSong of Easter’s Triumph, “Rejoice,the Lord is King” was the closing
hymn. The sung blessing “Go Now
In Peace” concluded the worship
service.

On Thursday, April 8, many
attended the afternoon or evening
seminar on bulbs at the Huron Bay
Co-op in Belgrave. Cathy Swain of
Van Noort in St. Catharines gave a
very informative talk with many
pictures she had taken.
Summer flowering bulbs, corms
and tubers can be planted in the
spring – as soon as the danger of
ground frost is past until the end of
May. Summer-flowering bulbs
prefer a sunny spot, either in the
garden or in containers. They can be
planted in a single hole made with a
trowel or in a large trench or bed.
Plant the bulbs, corms or tubers
twice as deep as the bulb is tall.
Exceptions to this rule are begonias
and dahlias which should be planted
just under the soil surface. For small
bulbs, four inches is a good distance
apart. Before planting you should
loosen the soil thoroughly. To
develop roots quickly, summer
flowering bulbs need thorough
watering immediately after planting.
Several summer-flowering bulbs are
suitable for use as cut flowers.
After an informative presentation
draws were made and each person
received a bulb. Lunch and a social
time followed.

Morris-Turnberry councillors, at
their April 6 meeting, decided to
spread the cost of a one-time Quality
Management System study over five
years in order to limit the rate of
increase.
The study, required for water
systems, had cost $20,000 and the
initial budget proposal had called for
the amount to be recovered in one
year with a 14.8 per cent increase in
water rates.
“Could you not take (the cost) out
of capital and put it over five years?”
asked Deputy-mayor Jim Nelemans.
He pointed out paying for the cost of
the study in one year would mean
water rates go up this year and go
down again next. He felt it was
better to have a three per cent
increase over the next five years
instead.
Mayor Dorothy Kelly said she
liked that solution rather than a
prohibitive one-year increase.
Council agreed to the longer-term
rate increase solution.
