Rev. Banks announces
beginning of Advent
Scott McDonald helped Emmer
son Mitchell greet people attending
worship at Duffs United Church on
Nov. 20. Andrew McDonald lit the
Christ Candle and Rev. Randy
Banks led the people in the Call to
Worship.
Rev. Banks announced that next
week will be the first Sunday in
Advent and Communion will be
served. The White Gift and Sunday
School Craft Sale will take place on
Dec. 4. The first Advent meditation
study will begin Nov. 24 at 10 a.m.
in Walton. Everyone is welcome to
attend.
For the children's story Rev.
Banks asked who would like to be
a King. When a hand came up Rev.
Banks placed a crown on the
volunteer's head and asked the
King what his house looked like.
With some help in describing the
place it turned out that it was a very
fancy castle.
A queen was chosen to wear the
crown and was asked what her
clothes would look like. A fancy
dress (pink) would be wom by this
queen.
Jesus was called 'King of the
Jews' but he wore no royal robes or
a crown. When Pilate asked him if
he was a King Jesus answered that
his kingdom was not of this world.
Jesus only wanted to be king of our
hearts and that the best thanks we
can give God for that is to love
each other the way God loves us,
Rev. Banks said.

Community Action support to
complete the construction of a new
community centre and tourism
development office, Huron MPP
Paul Klopp announced Nov. 10 on
behalf of Culture, Tourism and

project," said Huron MPP Paul
Klopp. "It shows that communities
in Bruce County and Huron County
can work together on a project Lhat
benefits everyone. This project will
create jobs. It will also play a
pivotal role in the economic
renewal of the area. Ils improved
facilities will enhance the area's
potential to host events year-round
and attract more visitors."

Community Centre will offer
squash courts, community rooms,
training areas and a new large arena
with amenities such as seating and
a public address system.
"This project is a good example
of a jobsOntario Community
Action project - residents of four
communities, private businesses,
non-profit groups and different
levels of government working
together to respond to a community
priority," Ms Swarbrick said. "The
result is an initiative that carries
social and economic value. It will
create immediate jobs and draw
more businesses to the area, while
increasing access to recreation and
leisure services for the residents of
Lucknow, Ashficld, Kinloss and
West Wawanosh."
