Pair tells parish about Toc Alpha experience THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1995. PAGE 9. Doreen Hackwell greeted worshippers at Duff's United Church Jan. 22. Before the service started Brandy Banks and Shannon Gibbons reported about their experiences at Toe Alpha. They both agreed that it was a good experience and Brandy wants to go again next year. She will attend another event sponsored by Concerns Canada, called TOAST in London later on this month. After Darrell McClure lit the Christ Candle Rev. Randy Banks led the congregation in the Call to Worship. He then announced that next Sunday communion will be served. The UCW wanted him to announce that a hot lunch will be served Tuesday, Jan. 31 starting at 11:30 and at 1 p.m. the tables will be set up for euchre. Rev. Banks called all the young worshippers up to the front for a lesson. He told them that in the early days in Jesus' time the children and families studied the Bible more that we do now. With that in mind he had each child take a Bible verse out of his hat and they were to read it with a parent next week. That way they can learn more of the Bible as a family. His sermon was called "An Ageless Bestseller". Rev. Banks asked if anyone had read any good books lately. The hockey lock-out provided a great opportunity to get some reading done, he said. He also asked if anyone had read from the "Book" lately? A former Moderator, Wilbur Howard used to call the Bible the book we 'Trust and Dust.' In Deuteronomy, Moses charges the people to "keep these words Grey Township council held its regular meeting on Jan. 2 and passed several bylaws including one to revise the dog licence fee bylaw. In 1994 the cost of several livestock claims and the annual cost for animal control far exceeded the revenue generated by the dog tags. The costs for animal control were much higher in 1994 due in large part to complaints being received about dogs running loose in the hamlets. Council decided to double the fee for the first dog from $10 to $20 and raised the fees for additional dogs significantly. The fee for a kennel licence was also raised from $75 to $100. Council made the following appointments to several boards and committees: Seaforth Hospital Board, Howard Hackwell; Brussels Medical Dental Centre Board, Dale Newman, Councillor Graeme MacDonald; BMG Board of Recreation Management, Coun- cillor Alvin McLellan, Kevin Deitner, Mervyn Bauer, Julie Mitchell; Community Oriented Policing Committee, John Saxon, that I am commanding today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you're away." By the age of 13, a child was expected to be ready to become a full-fledged son or daughter of the covenant. Rare would be the case where a Jewish child was not instructed and nurtured in the faith. By contrast, Rev. Banks said, rare is the case today where children are nurtured and instructed in the Christian faith. The most distressing aspect of this reality is the tendency of adults to blame school and society for this deficiency rather than admit to their own negligence and irresponsi- bility. Rev. Banks encouraged all to pick up a modern version of the Bible (such as the NRSV) and begin reading and 'listening today.' There is no more universally accessible place than this ageless best-seller to hear what God has to say to his people in every time and place, he said. After the service a pot luck lunch took place and following the meal the annual meeting was held. Just before the meeting a quilt was displayed. It was made in 1899 and presented to Rev. David Frost of Duff's Presbyterian Church (across the road from where Duff's United is now) as a farewell gift. Names from either the church folk or the community (no one knows for sure) was embroidered on the quilt. The quilt had been passed• down to Rev. Frost's granddaughter in Stratford and she donated it to Duff's United.
