Eight members of the Brussels
United Church Women (UCW) met
at the Manse on June 1 for lunch.
Pastor Sandra Cable welcomed
everyone and asked the blessing.
Minutes of the last meeting were
read by Joan Bernard. Isabelle
Wheeler gave the treasurer’s report.
The group will assist with
registration for any children going to
United Church camp. The UCW will
transfer $2,000 to Board of Stewards
and $500 to the Mission and Service
Fund.
Rene Richmond read the names of
the shut-ins and each member
delivered a flower and visited with
them following the meeting.
Mothers’ Influence was the theme
of the May meeting of the Brussels
UCW. The evening began with a
potluck supper, enjoyed by about 34
members and guests.
Pastor Sandra Cable welcomed all
and grace was sung.
Pastor Sandra was in charge of the
worship part of the meeting. Joan
Bernard led with the call to worship
followed by a hymn, The Servant
Song, Betty Campbell
accompanying at the piano. Joan
read scripture from Titus 2: 1-5.
Pastor Sandra read an article on
Mother’s Day, how it has become so
commercialized. Pastor Sandra
spoke of how special her
grandmother was in her life, how she
stayed at home, loved her family
dearly as she was raised by her
grandmother when her parents died
when she was 18 months old.
She spoke of living on a farm and
how busy her mother was raising six
children, born in seven years, but
each knew she loved them.
Pastor Cable read “Memories of a
Childhood Past” followed by a
poem, Praise to the Women of My
Journey, by Rev. Melissa Bowers.
Joan closed the service, then
showed pictures and told all about
her recent trip to China. It was very
interesting and informative. Weather
prevented them from making a stop
in Japan. China has a very high
population number, pollution and
smog are a big problem there.
Nelva Scott chaired the business.
Isabelle Wheeler gave the treasurer’s
report.
The next UCW meeting will be
September 7 at the church.
Warm weather is in the air, and
that makes children’s thoughts turn
to swimming, to endless summer
days, to mornings spent wasting
away the days and to books and
reading?
The TD Summer Reading Club is
hoping to inspire and engage young
readers with their “Welcome to the
Jungle” theme, which includes
books, games, crafts, songs and
prizes held at libraries across Huron
County, including Blyth and
Brussels libraries this summer.
Put together by Katie Mathonia
and Stacie Van Miltenburg, the
program will be held 17 times a
week across the 12 county libraries.

The Brussels Legion Branch 218
was very quiet last week with
many of the normal activities on
hiatus for the summer. The Cadet
Corp has finished up its year and
many of the Cadets will now head off
to camp when school finishes.
Cadets return in September, so if you
have a young person between 12 and
18, think about it over the summer,
maybe it is something they would be
interested in.
The Friday night suppers are over
for the summer, but there are
still several catering events on the
calendar for the members of the
Brussels Legion. There are three fish
fry events coming up and the
Legion’s annual Brussels Cemetery
Decoration service on the last
Sunday of the month.
UCW holds its last meeting until the fall
