From the Minister's Study Dopeople go to church in the summer? By Pastor Steve Webb Cranbrook Knox Some summer questions for you. Where do people go to church in the summer? Any given Sunday when you go to church the attendance always seems to be down. A good weather weekend you tell yourself; people took time to enjoy the gifts of God today. Then you meet them on the street and ask hOw they enjoyed their weekend. "Well, we really didn't, you know. We went to Church." Really, well I suppose that's good; it always does a preacher's heart good to hear people have been in church whey they were not in their own, but that part about going to church meaning they didn't enjoy the weekend does leave me a bit confused. But my question is this. What church did they go to? Any of the churches that I attend during my 0 bituaries HAROLD CLAYTON PARKER Harold Clayton Parker of Hen- sall, formerly of RR 1 Hensall, died July 5 at Seaforth Community Hos- pital. He was 82.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario or Duff s United Church, Walton, would be appreciated. holidays all seem to have the same problem; they are about half empty, as opposed to half full. The amazing thing is that the answer is always the same. "Well the summer is always like this, most of the regulars here take the summer to go to other churches for a change." There is a church some place that has a wonderful attendance, at least during the summer when all the other churches are down in theirs. Why do holidays always seem to leave you exhausted? You know the old story, you work like crazy trying to get ready to take your holiday and then while you're away there are so many things to see and do, you never get the chance to rest. Even if you stay home, nobody else wants to; the family wants to do "something different." We always stay home, can't we do something or go some place?" AGNES (NANCY) ROY Mrs. Agnes (Nancy) (Turnbull) Roy of Clinton, formerly of Hullett Twp, passed away on June 27, 1993 at Victoria Hospital in Lon- don. She was 70. Mrs. Roy was a member of the Church of Scotland. She was born in Bonhill, Scot- land to William and Mary (Whitelaw) Turnbull. She immi- grated to Canada in 1952. She met her husband Bruce when they both worked for Ontario Hydro in north- em Ontario, in 1957. The Roys lived and farmed in Hullett Twp. where they were The Huron-Perth Presbyterial United Church Women held their annual Campsite Experience at the United Church Camp - Bimini in June. Sixty women attended. The theme "We Gather Together" was carried out in the worship service with the singing of the hymn. "We Gather Together to Ask the Lord's Blessing" led by Barbara Richardson and Eloise Hagerman, St. Marys. Helen McKnight, Listowel, conducted a sing-song, with Anne Irvin on the piano. The women were welcomed by Presbyterial President, Betty Graber. Shirley Hackett, Stratford, was the leader for the gentle exercises outdoors, and also arranged a scavenger hunt around the camp. This gave all those participating an opportunity to explore the grounds of Camp Bimini. Kate Cunningham, Stratford, gave an interesting "day by day" account of her experiences as a camper. Reta Standeavon spoke of her experiences, camping, in the early days of Camp Bimini. A pot luck lunch was served. Helping in the kitchen were Marg Ashcroft, Shirley Weicker, Tavistock and Kathy Schaefer Hampstead. Jean Wilson, Listowel, led in Bible Study. Her topic "Women who changed their world." She chose these women of the Bible: Jezebel and Eve, Ruth and Mary of The funny thing is, you were thinking the same thing; isn't there some place they could go? So gather up everything you need, pack the car, pack the kids, pack the dog, take the dog out of the car and go. Then when you get home the last thing you want to do is unpack the car, unpack the kids and find the dog. But you do it all in the name of rest and relaxation. Why do some holidays seem like that? There is a person some place that is enjoying a wonderful holiday, peaceful and quiet, at least until we all figure out where it is and join him or her. In our busy lives today we all seem to need to get away for awhile. I urge you not to take time away from church or from God. Spend time in God's presence. That is where you will find rest for your soul. Matthew 11:28-30. involved in the seed corn business for several years.
