Gertie read the scripture from the second chapter of Acts, the Easter story. Elsie took the meditation explaining Easter and celebrating spring comes together. Examples are white lilies, birds returning,. rabbits, spring bonnets, buds and perhaps the best sounds of all are the children with bats and balls, marbles and kites, all signs of new life after a long winter.

"With each new leaf awake," and several instances when nature signals the weather to come. Grace Gibson, in a reading "Spring cleaning" pointed out we must not forget to clean our hearts and hatred from our minds and let the sunshine in. The ladies watched a video titled "A man called Norman". Norman was a lonely, unkempt man that lived in a dilapidated old house. The people of the small village shunned him and made fun of him, until a neighbor went to help Nor- man start his lawn mower. This was the start of a faith journey. The neighbor seemed to be guided by God to help and be a good neigh- bour to Norman, and prove that he was a very fine man, only a victim of bad circumstances. The hymn "Ride on Ride on in Majesty" closed the program and Allene chaired the business. Then ladies answered the rollcall with an Easter verse.
