was,” he said. “It was definitely
something unique.”
Townsend, having won at the local
match again this year, will compete
at the International Plowing
Match in Lindsay, Ontario next
October.
He said that he hopes to get back
to the national competition and earn
the champion title.
“I’ll be practising and I might add
some more things to the plow,” he
said. “But practice is the big thing.
I’m going to practise more and
more.”
He said that was his big takeaway
from the event: that he wanted to do
better and the best way to do that is
to get out in the field and start
plowing.
Townsend has several more
competitive years as a Junior and he
said he wants to make sure he
continues to be at the top
of his game and continue to do his
best.

She welcomed everyone to church

Oct. 26 in the church basement from
9 a.m. until 2 p.m. There will be a
light lunch available for purchase.
Gayle lit the Christ candle on the
altar table which was beautifully
decorated for Thanksgiving. She
invited everyone to greet one
another before singing the first
hymn, “It’s a Song of Praise to the
Maker.” The call to worship was
repeated responsively and the
opening prayer was said in unison.
For the children’s story, Gayle
read the story of a little girl being
kind to those she met. A prayer was
said followed by the singing of the
children’s hymn, “What a Friend We
Have in Jesus.” The Gospel reading
was from Luke 17: 11-19: The story
of the ten lepers healed by Jesus.
The choir sang the anthem, “Praise
God for the Harvest.” Gayle’s
message to the congregation was the
story of the lepers and how Jesus
healed them so they could go into
the temple and also the story of the
volunteers of Gander,
Newfoundland on 9/11 when all the
planes landed in Gander and there
were thousands of people in need of
help.
This is a special time of the year to
be thankful, for our families, friends
and neighbours. We should never
forget that Jesus loves us all just the
way we are. The next hymn “Come
You Thankful People, Come.” Gayle
read a story from the minute for
missions booklet. The offering was
received followed by the singing of
the response, “What Can I Do?” the
offertory prayer, the prayers for the
people and the singing of the Lord’s
Prayer.
The last hymn, “I’m Gonna Live
So God Can Use Me”, was followed
by the commissioning and the
benediction and the singing of the
response, “Wherever You May Go, I
Will Follow.” Everyone was invited
for coffee and fellowship.
