ACWW meets for church in Molesworth
St. Andrew's Presbyterian
Church, Molesworth hosted the
Huron East District Association
Country Women of the World
church service, April 27.
Rev. Olwyn Coghlin welcomed
everyone then led the call to wor
ship.
Marjory Humphries of Walton
delivered a thought-provoking talk
on conquering obstacles. A positive
attitude is needed to deal with any
obstacle that blocks a person's way.
in comparison to developing coun
tries. These obstacles are brought
into homes daily, by way of televi
sion, radio and print media. Most
people would like to see world
peace, Humphries said, but this will
take dedicated negotiations on
everyone's part.
The first obstacle is war, fol
lowed by hunger, poverty, home
lessness, disease and ignorance. It
has been estimated there are 800
million hungry in the world today.
Discrimination and prejudice are
obstacles needing to be conquered
as they put everyone in some sort
of category. No one should be
judged on appearance.
Lastly, fear wears many faces —
criticism, change and failure. Have
people grounds for their fears? Can
they do anything about them? Here
attitude steps into the limelight and
becomes a vital part. Life is an
adventure not a destination.
People must take up the torch to
be continually learning, Humphries
said. Think positive.
WI members donate to "Pennies
for Friendship" to help needy
women in the world become better
educated and learn to help them
selves. There are different projects
to which WI members have given
funding to get these women started
on a better way of life for them and
their families.
Marg Greig, of Howick Junior
WI, emphasized this in her telling
of the ACWW work.
The newly formed District choir
performed during the service under
the guidance of Aleida Murray with
Judith Ann Douglas at the piano.
Refreshments were served by
Molesworth WI following the ser
vice.
Even though Canada has obsta

Pastor bids farewell
Glen Brubacher gave his last
sermon as interim pastor of
Brussels Mennonite Fellowship on
Sunday, April 27. He chose
Matthew 6: 25-34 ad a texts for his
message.
Needless worry or anxiety does
not accomplish worthwhile things,
he said. People who are anxious are
hard on people. They should only
be hard on issues, not people.
Turtles withdraw into their shells
when anxious. Skunks choose a
different response. Withdrawing all
the time, or lashing out all the time
is not good.
Jesus says, "Don't worry. God is
the source of our well-being."
Anxious people can't work
constructively with differences,
Brubacher said. "Planning but not
becoming anxious is difficult. Jesus
wants to wash areas of worry from
our lives."
Tobi Farrell was pianist for the
service and Lloyd Koch led the
congregational singing. Elwin
Garland led the worship service.
Ashley Keffer sang for the
offertory with Darlene Hemingway
accompanying her at the piano.
Ashley Cove-Button was
dedicated during a child dedication
ceremony led by Pastor Brubacher.
Following Sunday School, a
farewell fellowship meal honouring
Glenn and his wife Anna-Mary was
held in the gymnasium.
Michelle Lichty will be working
April 28 - May 3 in Detroit, Mich,
with children ages eight to 12, as
part of the Children's Institute
Program. The children will be
learning about Godly
characteristics such as obedience,
attentiveness, etc. The children are
taught crafts and songs and the
importance of living Godly lives.
