Senior choir leads service at Londesborough United
On Sunday, March 24, the senior
choir of Londesborough United
Church led the morning worship.
They titled their service,
orchestrated by choir director,
Barb Bosman, “Worship Through
Music”. Every choir member
took part sharing their particular
talents.
Harpist Marjorie Duizer played
preludes and later performed “You’ll
Never Walk Alone”. Three men from
the choir, Tom Pollard, Mel Knox
and Mark Mitchell, each sang a solo
number. The men offered a choral
number, “Lord, I Hope This Day Is
Good” and the women sang “What a
Wonderful World”, two familiar and
loved songs.
Gordon Shobbrook emceed the
service and Dorothy Bogie read
scripture passages. Laura Scott read
a lovely little story about how God
was the world’s first singer, to the
children who gathered at the front of
the sanctuary. Four women of the
choir took turns delivering the
message.
In the beginning, God had a song
to pass on to all parts of His creation.
Everything – trees and plants,
mountains and valleys, birds and
animals had its own particular song,
but it wasn’t complete until God
gave the song to humans. When all
the voices sing together in harmony,
God is pleased.
Congregants were encouraged to
sing their own particular song of life
to make the chorus complete. Then
God and the rest of creation will be
pleased. We must offer the songs of
our hearts,the praise of our lips and
the music of our souls.
The service began and ended with
the full choir in the aisles
performing a fun number “On the
Eighth Day”.
Rev. Paul Ross will conduct the
service on April 7 and perform a
Baptism.

Annual school auction set April 12
Be sure to mark your calendar for
the Hullett Central Public School
Auction on April 12. Its theme is
“Hop Into Spring” and will have all
the neat aspects of other years for
your fun.
Wow, here we are in April already!
And some April showers would be
good to wash the winter grime and
dull away. And to give my car a
bath!
April is named for Aphrodite, the
goddess of love. Appropriately
April’s gemstone/birthstone is the
diamond; the symbol of eternal love.
This month has two flower
symbols. The daisy, known as the
friendliest flower, stands for
innocence, loyal love and purity. The
sweet pea stands for blissful
pleasure and is used to say goodbye.
It is said to be the oldest food crop
on the planet having been harvested
for 11,000 years.
April is also known as National
Daffodil Month and the flower has
been adopted by the Canadian
Cancer Society for their annual
campaign. So, wear that plastic
daffodil with pride, because a
daffodil can bring a smile to your
face and April’s promise can truly
lift the spirit. I offer this familiar
little poem by William Wordsworth
which will do the same:
“I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and
hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the
breeze.”
By the time you read this column
we will already be past April Fool’s
Day. April first is also known
internationally as “Have Fun at
Work Day”. If you are happy in your
job, that day probably went well for
you. At the very least it is hoped all
your workmates were having a
good day and no one went home
stressed.
Have you lost your memory?
WE MAY HAVE IT!
If you have ever left a photo with
us and never reclaimed it,
you’re in luck. We still have it!
(But only until April 30)
We need to purge our
overflowing Lost & Found.
Please come & get yours
before it’s gone!

Correction
In the March 14 edition of The
Citizen, the public speaking
competition at Hullett Central
Public School winners were
misidentified as being the school’s
winners, when they were the
school’s winners as well as the
winners for the Blyth Royal
Canadian Legion Branch’s winners
for its annual speaking competition.
The Citizen regrets the error.
