OnApril 9 it will be red night.Knox United Church had a guest speaker on Sunday. Bruce Whitmore recently visited Mozambique on behalf of the London Conference of the United Church of Canada. He witnessed tremendous poverty where children had only sticks and such to play with. The children are usually able to get only one to three years of schooling, and otherwise they help with whatever work has to be done. They are in desperate need of wells where he was. These people wash their clothes on rocks with no soap. Despite their extreme poverty they shared whatever little they had for a parting gift. One person even game him a live chicken which he held throughout the rest of the service. Whatever they could not keep his group later gave to an orphanage. The trip had a profound effect on him, he said. Church members are busy preparing for their roast beef supper this Wednesday, April 2. PAGE 24. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 2008.
