Councillors agreed to the drilling
of three new monitoring wells at the
former Turnberry landfill site which
is no longer used.
“Until you drill these wells the
Ministry of Environment won’t give
you permission to close the landfill,”
explained Nancy Michie,
administrator clerk-treasurer.
***
Michie alerted councillors to an
amendment under the Ontario
Building Code that requires
mandatory septic system inspections
for all properties within 100 metres
of a municipal wellhead.
There are 60-70 properties in
Belgrave and Lower Town Wingham
that would fall within this zone, shesaid. At this point it’s unknown iffunding under the Source Water
Protection program will cover costs
of needed repairs to septic systems
in this zone.
***
Michie informed council that they
could declare the seat of councillor
Mark Beaven vacant at the next
council meeting if they wished.
Beaven had not attended council for
three consecutive months which is
the criteria for declaring a seat
vacant.

unison. The first hymn was “Where
Two or Three are gathered”.
The children were asked to come
to the front for prayer before going
down to Sunday School. Reid Button
carried the Christ Candle down to
Sunday School. The scripture
reading was from Luke 14: 1,
7-14.
Rev. Clark’s message to the adults
was, “What would Jesus do?” Rev.
Clark asked the congregation to
focus on the Communion table. We
should start to prepare for
Thanksgiving early. We just can’t go
out and buy the things we need for
Thanksgiving dinner that day.
Rev. Clark asked everyone to
move one seat forward. Today in the
scripture, Jesus tells us not to
sit at the front, but sit in the back
and you maybe asked to come sit at
the front. Jesus was all about
manners and not just table manners,
but life manners as well. Everyone
was watching what Jesus would
do and Jesus was watching what
the Pharisees were doing. In the
scripture Jesus asks the Pharisees
to ask different people to their
table instead of the regular ones
who they knew would invite them
back.
While learning something new to
us, we must listen to what our
teacher tells us so we can do the job
well. Think of others before
ourselves. We have to acknowledge
that society is changing and so is the
church. Jesus also tells us to accept a
humble place and we will be called
forward because we have love and
respect.
Rev. Clark explained that he had
everyone move forward one seat in
the beginning as it would leave the
back seat for newcomers.
The Prayer of Concession and the
Assurance of Pardon were read
responsively. The choir’s anthem
was “Let Us Break Bread Together”.
The receiving of the offering was
followed by the Prayers of
Thanksgiving and For the World
and the singing of The Lord’s
Prayer.
Lois van Vliet, Jon Hakkers, Joan
Clark, Doug Howson and Lorie
Brooks served communion to the
congregation.
The last hymn, “Here O My Lord”
was followed by the commissioning
and benediction and the choral
response, “Go Now In Peace”.
Everyone was invited for coffee
before going home.
