�LTCW look for `porcupines' in their lives
Approximately 60 women
registered for the Huron -Perth Pres-
byterial UCW's annual Campsite
Experience, held at Camp
Menesetung near Goderich. The
theme "We are a part of the family"
was carried out in music and wor-
ship.
Barbara Hicks, guest speaker,
chose as her topic "Porcupines have
soft tummies." She challenged us to
name the porcupines in the home
and the church. "Everyone has
porcupines in their lives", she
stated. These are the problems that
surround us in our homes and chur-
ches. "We tend to be an unforgiving
people. Anger, self-righteousness,
and resentment are negative respon-
ses to a hurting world.
Mrs. Hicks read several, scriptures
on forgiveness. A discussion fol-
lowed with groups. Each one was
asked to find a passage of scripture
dealing with forgiveness and to ask
ourselves these questions: what do
we do about the porcupines on our
life? what gifts are we holding out
on?
After a pot luck lunch, the groups
came back with some interesting
conclusions: Is it really necessary to
listen to the porcupines in the
church? We do need porcupines on
our lives. Frustrations promote
growth. We must be forgiving and
also learn to forgive ourselves.
Mrs. Hicks has been a camp
director at Menesetung for 10 years.
In her report she stressed the need
for adults to become involved with
camp activities or support a child to
attend summer camp.
Dorothy Duncan of Stratford
reported for the United Church
Camp at Bimini. There is a need
for household supplies.
The worship service was con-
ducted by Lois Elliott and Debbie
Hulley, based on the International
Year of the Family.
Nominate an environmental achiever
In 1989, Environment Canada
established the Environmental
Achievement Awards to recognize
the success and dedication of
Canadians in protecting and res-
toring the environment.
The lit of recipients of this pres-
tigious award is impressive: they
have mounted awareness and
educational programs; they have
helped protect natural, areas; they
have applied environmental prac-
tices in the work place and in local
government; they have deepened
our understanding of the issues and
what can be done about them. But
most of all, they have shown the
commitment and energy needed to
