Mary Hunter greeted worshippersand handed out the Service ofWorship at Knox United Church onthe Second Sunday of Easter, April11.Rev. Tom Murray welcomed thecongregation. The opening hymn, “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.

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. Healthcare is Changing. Learn How. Have Your Say.

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. Water cost increase spread by M-T council By Keith Roulston The Citizen www.northhuron.on.ca (click on Brides In Huron) Here Comes the Guide!
