Belgrave UCW
plans 'over 80' party
The June meeting of the After
noon Unit of the U.C.W. met on
June 13 in the school room of the
church with Mrs. Sarah Anderson
in charge.
The secretary and treasurer
reports were given and the visits to
sick and shut-ins recorded.
Plans for the “over 80” birthday
party in August were finalized. For
Bible Study Mrs. Jean Pattison
continued the study of Matthew
from the book on Matthew by Wm.
Barclay and also various parts from
St. Matthew and Luke from the
Bible. The hymn, “Birds are
singing Woods are Ringing” was
sung with Mrs. Dorothy Coultes at
the piano.
For the worship Mrs. Olive
Campbell and Mrs. Helen Martin
used one of the programs from 50
New Devotional Programs, the
theme of which was, “Wait a
Minute”. Mrs. Campbell’s aim
was to point out the importance of a
prompt response to the claims of
Christ and the Call to Worship
People
Mr. and Mrs. Craig Schreiber of
Mississauga spent the weekend
with their grandmother Mrs. Sarah
Anderson.
Miss Sheila Anderson of London
spent the weekend with her
parents Mr. and Mrs. Ross
Andersonand attended the five
year reunion of her former F.E.
Madill Grade 13 Class which was
held Saturday at Wingham.
Mr. and Mrs. Doug Mitchell and
Scott of Hanover visited on Sunday
withtheirparentsMr. andMrs.
Leslie Vincent.
“Walk in Wisdom to them that are
without, redeeming the time.”
After the singing of the hymn
“All Things Bright and Beautiful ’ ’
Mrs. Campbell read II Cortin-
thians 6:-1-4 and prayer. Mrs.
Martin had the meditation, “Wait
a Minute”. When we use these
words we are easing our con
science, she said. What we are
really saying is that we intend to do
it, but not right now. The reminder
we need is that the key word of the
Bible is not “wait a minute”, but
now.
Mrs. Janisa Coultes continued
the study of Ethiopia by using
maps to show the size and showing
the smaller countries bordering on
Ethiopia, and also the climate and
terrain of the country and by some
articles that were in the papers.
Mrs. Anderson concluded the
meeting with prayer.
A public meeting to discuss the
possibility of getting a senior
citizens’ apartmentblock in the
hamlet of Belgrave has been called
for tonight (Wednesday). It will be
held at the Women’s Institute Hall
in the village, starting at 7 p.m.
George Michie, chairman of the
ad hoc committee which organized
the meeting, says that the idea is in
the very early stages as yet, adding
that a dozen or so Belgrave seniors
first met June 2 to discuss the idea.
Mr. Michie added that his
committee had viewed with inter
est a seniors’ facility in Belmore
which he says is self-owned and
self-supported, under guidelines
laid down by the Ontario Ministry
ofHousing. Itcontains20units,
fourof them two-bedroom units
and one of them wheelchair
accessible, while the rest are
one-bedroom apartments.
“It took Belmore five years to get
theirs built, ’ ’ Mr. Michie said, “so
if people here are interested, now’s
the time to come out and tell us
what they want.”
An official of the Ministry of
Housing will be at tonight’s
meeting to explain what facilities
and/or funding is available, as well
as to answer questions on such a
project.

Mrs. McDougall has also been a strong supporter of the Festival over
the years.

the evening of June 15 to attend a
Spring Invitational meeting at the
church.
President Mrs. Joan Pedersen
extended a sincere welcome to the
visitors, many of whom have
attended faithfully through the
years.

senior choir favored with two
numbers. Blending voices were

A meditation written by Mrs.

Mrs. Leonard Palmer. It described

Lord. Tying in with the 13th
anniversary of this congregation’s
use of the present church as a
United Church congregation, Mrs.
McBurney outlined our history to
the present time.

followed by the offering and
offertory prayer.
