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!

Lions breakfast set
Don’t forget to support the
Londesborough Lions Club on
Sunday as they serve up breakfast at
the community hall.
The April 2 edition of the Toronto
Star carried an interesting item
teenagers and their parents might
find worth pursuing. The following
paragraph from that article sums it
up, “Credit Canada Debt Solutions
and Capital One partner with other
sponsors to award university
scholarships to writers who best
own up to their financial faux
pas and share their hard-earned
lessons.”
Now we have all regretted the odd
purchase in our lives; a hard lesson
for any age. But that is how one
learns and teenagers are no different.
Almost $500,000 has been awarded
in the 12 years of the program. The
article printed a couple of the
winning essays. I would think, given
those examples, lots of students
could qualify. The contest for Grade
12 students is held every fall during
Credit Education Week Canada.
There is likely information on line
regarding the program. Can’t hurt to
check it out.
I saw my first red-winged
blackbird of 2019 today. Now I am
sure spring is imminent.

While we’re in to warmer weather now, students at Hullett Central Public School were still
wearing winter gear and huddling for warmth just over a week ago. From left: Lily Fraser,

The April meeting of the
Londesborough UCW took place on
Monday, April 15 in the week
leading up to Good Friday and the
celebration of Easter. Yvonne
Hoggart, Sherry Postma, Helen
Lyons and Marie Bergsma were in
charge of the evening’s
program/meditation. They offered a
“Reflection for Good Friday”.
This reflection was based on
pages from a fictional journal/diary
of Claudia, the wife of Pontius
Pilate. Claudia had slipped away
from her role as Pontius’ wife one
day and in disguise listened to the
teachings of Jesus. Like those who
heard Jesus, she was convinced He
was a good man and their leader. So
as the political events of the week
played out she implored Pontius to
spare Christ’s life, to use his power
to save Him from the cross.
Although Pontius, himself,
according to the journal, came to
recognize Christ as the Prince of
Peace, politics brought about the
crucifixion. Claudia was also
compelled to go to the foot of the
cross in the same state of despair as
the other believers.
Scripture verses from Matthew 26
and 27 were read chronicling and
reinforcing the events talked about
in the diary. Appropriate Easter
hymns were sung as well.
The reflection noted that although
there is no scientific proof of the
crucifixion and resurrection,
Christians for 2,000 years have
known that “Jesus lives”. They have
felt Him in their hearts, seen His
wonder in nature and new life, felt
His strength in troubled times and
found His love in encounters with
others. Jesus lives in the hearts of
Christians. This is the mystery of
faith.
President Bev Riley led the
business part of the evening. Plans
were settled to attend a showing of
Cakewalk at the Blyth Festival on
Tuesday, July 9. Joan Goodall has
the details for that if you are
interested in attending. Lanterns for
the lantern walk on May 10 in
memory of Rev. Fletcher will be
made at the church on April 24.
Discussion was had regarding
monetary help for children wishing
to attend a Christian-based camp
this summer. Persons wishing help
should contact Bev Riley or another
UCW member.
Easter music is so joyous and
uplifting. The music at
Londesborough United Church on
April 21 did not disappoint. Rev.
Ross led the service and played two
flute duets with Barb Bosman. They
played “Because He Lives” and “He
Lives”. The senior choir offered
“The Strife Is O’er” and
“Hallelujah, Christ Is Risen”.
Rev. Ross delivered a message
full of hope to all persons in all
types of situations; The hope that
came from the crucifixion and
resurrection of Christ. He remarked
that theoretically Christians can not
explain the events of Easter morning
but that is the whole point. Those
events are what Christian faith is all
about.
Hope is the key element in the
relationship between God and His
people.
Paul encouraged everyone, when
they feel they have lost hope, to
remember the Easter story.
His scripture readings came from
Luke 24.

NEWS
FROM LONDESBORO
In last week’s issue of The
Citizen, it was incorrectly reported
that Central Huron Councillor Marg
Anderson had been named to the
Federation of Canadian
Municipalities Board of Directors.
While Central Huron Council has
put Anderson’s name forward for a
position, whether Anderson will
officially join the board will be
decided at the federation’s
conference and trade show May 30-
June 2.
The Citizen regrets the error.
