Continued from page 3
was “19 Shopping Days until
Jesus’ Birth”. The Israelites had
hope that the next king would help
them in their quest and would
change the world. A tree will
provide shade and home for the
birds. When it is cut down it
becomes a stump. After a while
there will be life from that stump
as it shoots up a new tree. Jessie
was a shoot from the Israelites. He
was a lowly shepherd and his
youngest son was King David who
the Israelites hoped would bring
change to their people. In the
scripture, Isaiah is trying to say
that enemies will find a way to live
together in peace, like the wolf and
the lamb. King David
drew many groups of people
together.
Jesus also came from a poor and
humble background. Jesus sought
the same peace but the people
brought the peace not God.
The choir favoured the
congregation with the anthem,
“God Rest Ye Merry Christmas.”
In the anthem we are called to
celebrate the coming of Christ. Are
we moving too fast to put Christ
in Christmas? Israel struggled with
life and so do we. We celebrate
Christmas so that the impossible
might happen. The world changes
because the people of the world
change. The next hymn was “Love
Divine” was followed by the
prayers of the world and the
singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The
last hymn, “Rejoice the Lord is
King”, was followed by the
commissioning, the benediction
and the choral response, “Lord We
Pray”. Everyone was invited to
have coffee and treats.

The results of a new physical
activity survey done in Huron and
Perth Counties show that although
some residents are more active
today than they were two
years ago, there is still a long way
to go.
Huron-Perth in motion recently
conducted the telephone survey
with a random sample of Huron-
Perth residents to assess current
levels of physical activity. Co-
Chair of in motion, Alycia Collins,
says, “We wanted to compare the
results of this survey to the data
from our 2008 survey.” She adds,
“We wanted to understand how
physical activity has changed in
Huron and Perth counties, and
determine what we can do to
continue supporting residents to be
active.”
The 2010 survey results show
that some groups of residents are
more active today than they were
two years ago. Women aged 18 and
older in both counties do more
moderate and vigorous physical
activities than two years ago. Men
in Perth County 18 and older are
also more active today, but the
activity levels of their Huron
counterparts has not changed.
The survey also found that
although 80 per cent of respondents
consider themselves active, less
than half are actually active enough
for health benefits. This involves
doing moderate to vigorous
intensity activity on most days of
the week. This means that most
Huron-Perth residents are inactive.
“Physical inactivity is a leading
cause of many chronic diseases
such as heart disease, stroke and
cancer. We need to do more to get
Huron-Perth residents moving,”
says Collins.
She goes on to say “Huron-Perth
in motion has been encouraging
people to increase their physical
activity since we formed in 2008.
Our partnership of health and
recreation departments has worked
together to offer tips, resources and
hundreds of free activities. Many
people may have participated
recently in the annual October in
motion month.”
Other findings from the survey
were that, the most common
activities for both men and women
are light intensity activities, more
than 80 per cent of respondents do
not regularly visit a recreation or
fitness facility and more than two-
thirds of those who reported having
a chronic health condition said it
prevents activity.
