THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1995. Walton Public School news Fall colours enter classrooms Karen Hoegy was the greeter at Duff's United Church on Oct. 15. Ushers for this month are Brian McGavin, Ken McDonald, and Chris Davies. Geoffrey Banks began the order of worship by lighting the Christ Candle. Rev.

He announced that session 2 of 'Letters of John' Bible Study will continue Wednesday at 8 p.m. The bus leaves Walton at 7:30 for Bluevale if anyone wants a ride. Rev. Banks called the young people forward to teach them a new song. It is written in Swahili and it is called, 'Mungu Yu Mwema'. The children tried to guess its meaning but Rev. Banks isn't divulging this information until next week. The children went downstairs for Sunday School where they are continuing their study of prayer. They gathered together and each person, Sunday School teachers as well, drew a name from a bag. Everyone is to spend the next week praying for that person. Rev. Banks's sermon was called, The October meeting of Londesboro WI was held at the Hall on Wednesday evening, Oct. 11 at 8 p.m. They opened the meeting with the Opening Ode, Mary Stewart Collect and 0 Canada.

June Fothergill received word of the passing of her aunt, the late Clara Johnston of Listowel in her 90th year. Greeters at Londesboro United Church on Sunday, Oct. 15 were John and Brenda Radford. Ushers were Murray and Joan Howatt. Flowers at the front of the church were in memory of Madeline Radford. The second scripture Luke 17: 11-19, was read by Gordon Shobbrook. The sermon topic was "Faith Healing." A minute for missions was read by 'The Ministry of Healing', and was based on he story of the 10 lepers. In a way these lepers were already as good as dead since they had more than likely been abandoned by family and community. They were of no social worth. As with so many of the hcalings and cleansing in the gospels, the incident is certainly curious. The lepers had broken one of the requirements of the law, he said. Instead of the warning cry of, "Unclean! Unclean!" they had called out to Jesus to heal them. The main surprise, Rev. Banks said, is that Jesus does not heal them by physical contact. He tells them to go see the priest for verification of the healing as prescribed in the Torah. Only one leper returns to thank Jesus. This leper has experienced healing of his skin disease as well as the healing of mind and spirit. He has experienced Salvation. "Whenever God chooses us to be a vehicle of grace and for the healing of the outer and inner wounds of our brothers and sisters, then that, too, calls for the response of praise and thanks to God, the healer," Rev. Banks said. Clinton OMAFRA office. Reta presented the speaker with a fruit basket and a cook book. There is a towel competition for the 100th anniversary of WI.

The kindergarten class has been busy this past week bringing in signs of fall. Things like coloured leaves, pine cones, gourds, pump- kins, corn and milkweed pods.

The Grade 2s have had a great time making their own city and they have named it 'Two Ville'. The great city should be completed early next week if anyone wants to come and visit. The Grade 3s were delighted and quite excited at the arrival of a turtle egg this week. Mark Wilbee's dad was ploughing the field, when he overturned some turtle eggs. On Nov. 18 there will be a craft and bake sale. All vendors are welcome and if you need to know more about this call Barb Durrell. You can mark Dec. 1 on your calendar for the dance of the month. If anyone is interested in either line or square dancing you can contact Jo-Ann McDonald. Mrs. Wilbee brought one to school. The entire student body crowded into the Grade 3 room for a lesson on nature. They learned: 1. The egg is small, round, rubbery and it will bounce. 2. The turtle will have the best chance of hatching if it's left in dry soil in a warm spot. It will eat the yolk while it's in the shell. 3. Turtles can lay as many as 100 eggs. 4. The mother turtle doesn't stay with the eggs, so a lot of hatchlings die. We're not sure what kind of turtle egg we have, but we hope to learn more if it hatches. The Grade 4s are reading up on all kinds of 'Monstermania' stories about creatures, bubblegum monsters, and 'Bigfoot' sightings. This will lead the class into the Halloween season and more creepy, spooky tales! So stay tuned. Microman The Ultimate Computer Store Full selection of computers, accessories and stationery supplies.
