The meaning of the season
The children took centre stage on Sunday night at Huron Chapel Evangelical Missionary
Church in Auburn as they presented The Best Christmas Present Ever, a music for the entire
family to enjoy. (Vicky Bremner photo)
The Christmas meeting of the
Knox United Church Women was
held on Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 1 in
the church basement with 10
members present.
Barbara Anderson’s group was in
charge of the program and she
opened with a reading, Christmas
Comes.
The minutes were read and
approved and the roll call was
answered by naming the favourite
thing you like to bake for Christmas.
Items were also brought for the
Christmas Bureau.
The treasurer’s report was given.
Pat Hunking reported she had sent
eight cards.
It was decided to meet again on
Jan. 5 at 2 p.m.
The list of shut-ins was brought up
to date, for the gifts that are given to
them at Christmas.
Nancy Folkard opened the worship
with a poem, Signs of the Season and
prayer. She read scriptures from
Luke 2 and Matthew 2 which were
followed by a meditation. The hymn,
O Little Town of Bethlehem was
sung and she gave a reading about
living in Bethlehem at that time.
She also read a children’s story,
Johann’s Gift to Christmas, about achurch mouse, and his love of musicand how he became a friend of Franz
Xavier Gruber in 1818. After the
little mouse had chewed through the
cords of the organ, and no music
could be played on Christmas Eve,
the pastor at the time had written
some words that Franz Gruber put to
music for their Christmas service.
This was the hymn, Silent Night.
Barbara Anderson, Muriel Coultes
and Donna Shaw took turns reading
an advent meditation called, Waiting
Then, Waiting Now. It told of how
Mary, today’s mother, a shepherd
boy, young person, Roman soldier,
wise person, and a senior of today,
spent time waiting for the birth of
Jesus.
The meeting closed with a prayer
for Christmas.
Sheila Nixon had prepared a
Christmas lunch for everyone to
share and have a social time.
On Sunday, Dec. 13, Opening Your
Hearts’ Door to Silence and Song, a
children’s presentation, Live from
Bethlehem will be held at Knox
United Church at 11 a.m.
All special offerings of food or
cash will be going to the Huron
County Food Bank. Foods that
contribute to healthy eating – grain
products, peanut butter, baked beans,
other legumes or processed cheese,
non-perishable snack and lunch
foods for children – fruit cups,
granola bars, crackers and cheese
snacks are needed.
This is also the last date for
donations for the Christmas Bureau
such as toys or new clothing items
for children.

PEOPLE AROUNDBELGRAVE
Huron East council received a
presentation from the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority at its
Dec. 1 meeting, updating council as
to what has been happening with the
MVCA and what is in the
Authority’s future.
Having recently published its
watershed report card, one of the
biggest pieces of information
awaiting councillors was how Huron
East’s waterways scored in terms of
quality.
Throughout the municipality, the
MVCA takes over 150 water
samples annually from Huron East’s
three main water systems, which
are the Little Maitland, the
South Maitland and the Middle
Maitland.
All of the waterways scored a
grade of B in terms of water quality,
while there were some grades that
came in slightly lower in terms of
other aspects of water quality.
One of the Authority’s biggest
projects is still the municipal drain
on Murray Scott’s farm, which hosts
10 tours per year and has seen almost
250 come through for the tour.
That will continue said Phil Beard
of the MVCA, as the Authority has a
five-year agreement with the Scotts
for tours on the property.
Through the MVCA, there have
been 31 projects sanctioned, with
five more on the verge of being
approved, in addition to 10 tree-
planting projects, seven wellhead-
protection projects and six de-
commissioned manure projects.
The MVCA watershed report card
is available on its website at
www.mvca.on.ca

Want to know what to do to
console a crying baby? Or when your
child should be in a new car seat?
The Huron County Health Unit has
launched the Child Health section of
their website for Huron County
parents and caregivers. The section
includes topics such as
breastfeeding, child nutrition, health
unit programs, injury prevention and
postpartum depression.
Public health manager Jacqueline
Hart says this is a great new resource
for families in Huron County. “There
are dozens of resources and links to
important information about child
health. This is a perfect complement
to our public health nurses working
directly with families of young
children. People can get information
at any time through the website.”
Besides written information, Hart
says she’s especially pleased the
website offers podcasts of Huron
County mothers who breastfeed and
video links on how to properly install
car seats. There are also many
information brochures that can be
downloaded.
The Child Health section of the
website can be found at
www.huroncounty.ca/health.
