Ushering were Cliff Snell, Joann MacDonald and Lavern Clark. Guest organist was Amanda Swartzentruber. The flowers at the front of the church were from the funeral of Eileen Haggitt. There were also flowers in memory of Tom Smith and Neil McCrea placed by Amy and Ralph McCrea and in memory of David Craig, Charlie Johnston and Don Craig placed there by Marilyn Craig and families. Guest speaker Tom Dunbar welcomed everyone to church and wished all the fathers Happy Father’s Day. The choir anthem was One More Step Along the World I Go. The next hymn was Hallelujah, Hallelujah. The children’s story was a story of what the letters in father represented. The scripture readings were from 1 Kings 17: 8-16 and Luke 7: 11-17. Ollie Craig led Psalm 5 responsively. Maker in Whom We Live was sung. Tom Dunbar’s message to the adults was, A Day for Dads … an Eternity for One Father. He related a story of a new father who could not stop the baby from crying and finally took it to the doctor to find out it only needed a diaper change. Dads seem to be at the butt of a lot of jokes, he said. Dads play a very important role in their children’s lives. Dads are role models for their children. If the foundations are well laid a child will grow up trusting God. Father’s should put their faith in God and show love, tolerance and compassion and be honest and be an example for their children, Mr. Dunbar said. Jessica Dunbar gave the minute for missions. Over 100 descendents of Walter and Ethel Mason gathered for the 26th Mason reunion in Belgrave park on Sunday. Family attended from Brampton, London, Listowel, Palmerston, Seaforth and the surrounding area. Residents of Dinsley Street will bereceiving a letter soon. At the North Huron councilmeeting Monday night, director of public works Ralph Campbell said information would be going out to homeowners who would be affected by the reconstruction work on Dinsley this summer. “We are letting them know that there will be discoloured water and a disconnection of the service,” said Campbell. The work is set to begin June 25 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of August. Interruption in service should be minimal. A question was asked about a boilwater advisory. Campbell said that anotice is being included with theletter. However, as the service willonly be disconnected for the switchto the new main, they didn’t anticipate this would be a big issue. “If the watermain is 20 below 20 pounds of pressure we have to have a boil water advisory,” said Campbell. “We are hoping that won’t have to happen.” The tender of Lavis Contracting Co. Ltd. was accepted by council at a meeting earlier this month. Campbell said the project, which takes in Dinsley Street from Morris to John Streets, was estimated at $633,000 without GST. The total tender price from Lavis,the lowest of three, is $642,985.40. “I’m very satisfied. Quite happywith the Lavis tender,” saidCampbell.Over the weekend of June 13-15 weekend, $1,000 worth of plywood was stolen from construction site on Martin Line, Morris-Turnberry. Stolen was 45 sheets of 1/2 inch plywood from the site. The OPP is seeking the public’s assistance in the matter.
