AuburnThe news from Knox appoints new slate of officers Compiledby MildredLawlor Phone 526-7589 Trio entertains at UCW meeting On Tuesday, January 28 the Auburn United Church Women attended the After Five Club at Goderich. Three carloads went with Mrs. Dana Bean, Mrs. William Empey and Mrs. Gordon Gross driving. A delicious dessert of vari­ ous cakes was enjoyed. Marion Doucette, who is with the County Library spoke on “More Than Just Books”. She told of the various special books available to those who need them. There are talking books, which are special cassettes, available. The library shares them with 14 other libraries throughout Ontario. Book packages for children are very popular. You can learn while you drive with book tapes used in cars. Videos, special collections, languages, etc. are also for your use. Two beautiful songs by two members of the Bethel trio were sung. The third member of the trio Gladys Hutchins, who grew up in this area, was unfortunately ill. The songs were “Consider the Lillies” and “The Strength of the Lord”. The guest speaker was Janice Morris of Chatsworth. It was a most inspiring speech on her life. She grew up in a Christian home and then as a teenager served her connection with the Church. She told of her life in Australia and India, of her marriage and first child. Eventually after a severe bout with hepatitis she returned home and back to God. She is cer­ tainly using her knowledge and experience to bring others back into the Christian fold. It was an inspir­ ing evening for U.C.W. members. The 1992 Auburn Knox United Church Annual meeting was held Sunday, January 25 in the church basement, following the Sunday worship service and luncheon. Maurice Bean opened the meet­ ing with a prayer from Sister Con­ stance “Lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff and nudge me when I've said enough.” After nominations, chairman Larry Plaetzer conducted the busi­ ness with Joyce Bean as recording secretary.

The meeting opened with the president, Mrs. Penfound reading a verse “It couldn't be done” followed by prayer. The secretary, Mrs. Ell Lapp then read the minutes of the last meeting and various thank you letters which had been received. The minutes were adopted as read. The treasurer gave her report. The draw was then taken and was won by Mrs. J. Verwey and donat­ ed by Mrs. Penfound. Mrs. Lapp invited the Club to her home for the February meeting. Mrs. R. Archambault and Mrs. G. McClinchey will be in charge of the lunch and Mrs. J. Verwey and Mrs. L. Archambault, the program. Mrs. Penfound asked the club if they would serve the refreshments at her daughter Nancy's evening reception in July. The club readily accepted. Mrs. R. Archambault then showed the lovely bunnies that she is making and explained how to do it. They were passed around and thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. McClinchey then gave a contest: “Can you find 43 cliches”. This put people's eyes and minds to work and was quite a challenge. The hostess, Mrs. Penfound, treated members to various goodies and ice cream and a social half hour brought the meeting to its close. Please note that the date of the meeting has been changed from Tuesday, February 25 to Thursday, February 27. Sunday evening, January 26 was a time of singing praises and shar­ ing life experiences at Auburn Mis­ sionary Church. Most excited was Mary Stoll who had just returned home after spend­ ing a week in Jamaica with her daughter. The had the privilege of visiting a country church in the hills of Jamaica. The Jamaican peo­ ple have so little in material things but are so thankful for having a place to worship. Mary and Marcy attended a large Pentecostal church with about 1,000 coming for the evening service. If you want an experience of a life time visit a mission field, she said. On Sunday, February 2 the ser­ vice was opened with the congrega­ tional reading “Prayer of Aspiration” which was written by a Confederate soldier. The pastor's message was titled “What a Fel­ lowship” based on I John 1: 1-10. The third verse being the key to his message which reads, “We pro­ claim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and his Son Jesus Christ.” Being alienated from Christ doesn't mean a person is an outright sinner. We can be alienated by let­ ting our work, hobbies, home and material possessions come between us and our relationship to the Lord. We read in Ephesians that even God's “Chosen People” had a diffi­ cult time keeping fellowship because of sin. Verse five of I John chapter one tells us that God is light, which represents what is good, true and holy. Then in verse six it talks about darkness which represents evil and falsehoods. God responds toward those who con­ fess their sins as this is in accor­ dance with his nature and his gracious commitment to his people. A good definition of fellowship is “one heart and two bodies”. Special music was a solo by Eliz­ abeth Bowman. Closing hymn was “Just as I am, Without One Plea”. The service was closed in prayer by pastor Came. People Sympathy is extended to Bob McPhee, family and relatives on the death of his wife Rita who passed away at University Hospital last week in her 61st year. with Dorothy Grange and Elva Armstrong.

Larry Plaetzer and Maurice Bean extended appreciation to Rev. Ross for his spiritual guidance in all aspects of his ministry in 1992 and the hymn “Stand up for Jesus” was sung with Rev. Ross closing the meeting with a prayer and benedic­ tion. 'Daring to Love', sermon topic Rev. Paul Ross conducted the morning service at Knox United Church.
