Rev. Ross speaks of
being outside the circle
At 9:50 a.m. Knox members
enjoyed a hymn sing. Bernice
Gross was the pianist for several
hymns. Rev. Paul Ross was the
song leader.
At 10 a.m. Rev. Ross welcomed
everyone. Sunday school began this
day and everyone was pleased to
have them present.
Opening chorus was sung Come
Christian, Join to Sing followed by
the announcements.
At Five Oaks Sept. 24 - 26 there
is a "Leaders in the Making Event".
Rev. Ross led in prayer. The
hymn Saviour Teach Me Day by
Day was sung.
The children were called to -the
front. Rev. Ross instructed one boy
to sit beside him and directed the
rest into a centre group surrounded
tightly by an outside group which
joined hands. He then spoke on the
one who was left outside and asked
what he should do. The quick reply
came "We should invite him to join
us."
As the children went to their
classes Jesus Loves the Little
Children was sung.
Rev. Ross prayed then the hymn
The Church is Wherever God's
People was sung.
Scripture was given from
Proverb 22 on the value of doing
good and giving to those in need.
Rev. Ross played a flute solo.
He continued with scripture from
Mark 7. A Greek woman with a
mentally-ill daughter asked Christ
for help but He said "No" because
of her nationality. She told him that
everyone should be helped. He
understood and immediately cured
her daughter. The hymn Part of the
Family was then sung.
Rev. Ross's sermon was on
Stepping outside the circle. There is
the necessity of giving love and
kindness to everyone on this earth,
he said. All people are from God.
He spoke on royalty protocol and
how Princess Diana did things in
caring for others outside of that
barrier. He spoke on the active
work of the United Church
Women. "There is a need to invite
and welcome anyone into our
midst," he said.
Rev. Ross closed with prayer.
Sympathy was given for the death
of Princess Diana and of Mother
Teresa who gave her work and life
for others. He prayed that the
congregation too, might help all in
need on this earth. The Lord's
Prayer in unison followed.
Collection was received from the
church and from the Sunday
-School. Doxology was sung and
offertory prayer given. The
Churches One Foundation was the
closing hymn, which was followed
by benediction and amens.
Health councils expect merger
The Huron Perth District Health
Council (HPDHC) is expected to
merge with the Grey Bruce District
Health Council (GBDHC), District
Health Council (DHC) representa
tives were told by the Ministry of
Health on Thursday, Sept. 4.
The Ministry of Health held a
meeting on that date of all DHC
chairs and executive directors to
outline their decisions regarding the
restructuring of the DHC system.
The existing 33 DHCs across
Ontario are expected to undertake
mergers to reduce the number of
DHCs to 16.
"It appears that the Ministry is
expecting that the mergers will be
accomplished so that the new DHC
covering Huron Perth and Grey
Bruce can be funded as a single
entity by April 1, 1998 - the start of
the next fiscal year," explained
Fraser Bell, HPDHC executive
director.
This means that considerable
work must be done between now
and April 1 to deal with
staffing/severance issues, and to
create a new council of volunteer
members. The transition will
involve the revocation of Orders-
in-Council (OIC) for current DHC
members and the provision of new
OICs for the new Council
members. It is not clear when this
process will take place.
It is currently not known what
the impact of this restructuring will
be on existing DHC staff and sites.
WI meets
On Sept. 10 a reception for
Women's Institute members is
being held at the Huron County
Museum from 7 - -10 p.m.
This and a number of other issues
will be addressed by a "transitional
team" comprised of a small number
of existing HPDHC and GBDHC
members. The transitional team
will be appointed by the end of
September.
As the DHC restructuring takes
place, both the HPDHC and the
GBDHC will need to organize their
workloads so that existing planning
commitments can continue. In the
