Peter Scott, London was guest minister for Easter Sunday services at Calvin-Brick and Belgrave United Churches. George Inglis welcomed the Belgrave congregation as they arrived for the service. The musical prelude of several Easter selections was played by the organist, Elizabeth Procter with Joanne Robinson on the piano. Following the Call to Worship, and Prayer of Approach, the congregation sang Welcome Happy Morning, then joined in the Prayer of Confession. The Sonshine Singers, under the leadership of Lila Procter, sang two numbers, Christ the Lord is Risen Today and A, B, C, D, E, F, G, with the junior choir. Joanne Robinson accompanied at the piano. For the children's story, Rev. Scott told the story of "The Three Trees". As each tree grew on the hillside, they each had wishes of what they wanted to be. One wanted to be used in a palace, one on a ship that sailed the seas, and the smallest one wanted to just point the way to heaven. The first one ended up in a barn that Jesus was born in. The second ended up as a fishing boat - the one in which James and John took Jesus out on the Sea of Galilee, when he calmed the water. The third was cut up into two pieces, which became the cross that Jesus was crucified on. All their wishes had been granted but maybe not in the way The Evening Unit of the UCW met on Tuesday, April 2 at the home of Ruth Johnston. Seventeen members were present. Barbara Anderson welcomed everyone and opened the meeting with a poem "April". Louise Bosman and Thelma Pletch conducted the worship service. 0 Love That Will Not Let Me Go and See Israel's Gentle Shepherd Brownies, Sparks hold Easter party The Brownies and Sparks held an Easter party at East Wawanosh Public School on Thursday, April 4.

The scripture lessons from Acts, Colossians, and Matthew were all translated into story form, which connected all three together as the Easter story. The congregation sang the hymn Jesus Christ is Risen Today. As the congregation hadn't observed Good Friday with a special service, Rev. Scott explained how the joy of Easter morning isn't the same without first experiencing the sorrow of Good Friday. His sermon, also told in parable form, gave examples of how Jesus carries all burdens and troubles and by his resurrection gave the gift of life. The offering was received by John Nixon and Ross Higgins, with Easter music by Elizabeth Procter at the organ and Joanne Robinson at the piano. Following the prayers of the people, the congregation sang the hymns The Day of Resurrection, followed by Rev. Scott pronouncing the benediction.

Recently a group of high school students got together from Bel- grave, Wingham and Gorrie and spent their first week of March break in Varadero, Cuba. It was definitely a week to remember.The weather was perfect, which made it all the better. Most days were enjoyed by the poolside taking in _ the sun and activities put on by the entertainment staff. By night, there was also a program provided of which many of the students in the group participated. Then it was off to the disco where they discovered quite a culture shock. Speaking of culture, the language was Spanish, living conditions were by no means glamorous and the food took some getting used to. All in all, it was a great trip and a fantastic experience. A special thanks to Trevor Beck, who took it upon himself to organize the trip. His time and effort was greatly appreciated by everyone. Thanks Trevor!
