The sermon was called, "Living
with a Jeremiah Faith". There

news in the world, he said. It
sometimes seems that indeed the
world is coming to an end.
"But how should we react when
the bad news hits us? Stoke up the
fire and brimstone to speed up the
coming of Christ? Or make like

best and worst things that have ever
happened in their lives. They arc
doing a lot of reading and have
started working on their spelling.

their science projects where they
have to find an animal that starts

Jeremiah and create some hope? It
is easy to expect the worst. It is a
challenge to hope for the best."
For Jeremiah, hope was a key
ingredient in his desire to live with
faith. In his times, hope and faith
were rare commodities.
A Jeremiah faith is built on
simple acts of hope. Like planting a
garden in front of the Walton
School, Rev. Murray said.
This simple act of caring follows
in a great tradition of hopeful acts
of faith. Martin Luther, the leader
of the Protestant reformation was
once asked what he would do if he
knew he only had a few hours left
to live. Instead of giving some
profound summing up of all the
theological changes he had
accomplished in his life, he said he
would go out and plant a tree.
"Even a small, insignificant act
spoke on her nursing in Lebanon.
She showed slides, which were
very interesting.
They then have to do research on
the animal and follow all the steps
into making a report.
A great turnout happened Friday
for the remaking and planting of
the flower beds in front of the
school. It looks great and does
improve the looks of the school.
The Walton school has been
referred to by some as the 'School
with the Big Heart' and as I see the
final total of the money raised from
the Terry Fox Run at $724, I can
agree. Thanks to all who
participated and supported the run.
A note to all interested — the
School Advisory council meeting
will be Wednesday, Sept. 30 at
7 p.m.
can be a profound statement of our
belief in the future, and the need to
fill our lives with hopeful acts.
Each of us can live a Jeremiah
faith."
After Terry Fox lost his leg to
cancer he did not stop living, Rev.
Murray said. He planned for three
years how his life could be an act
of giving. His run was an act of
faith." His actions have continued
to change us and, and have given
hope and help to countless
thousands of cancer patients all
across our country.
Faith comes by acting with hope.
Hope is believing in spite of the
evidence and watching the
evidence change. And it changes
because people continue to do
hopeful things. "May you live a
Jeremiah faith, may you always be
full of hope," he said.
Greeters at Londesboro United
Church on Sunday, Sept. 27 were
Paul and Marg Brunkard. Ushers
were Mark Mitchell and Jack Lee.
The sermon topic was "Hearing
Voices". Holy Communion will be
next Sunday. Anyone with a
donation 'for the Food Bank in
Seaforth is to bring it to church
next Sunday.
Optimism blooms
In spite of the threat of closure, parents of Walton Public
School students gave their time last Friday to beautify the
grounds. With plants donated by parents and
Lawnmaster, top soil supplied by Neil McGavin, bulbs
purchased with donated Canadian Tire money and
volunteer workers, the front of the school will bloom with
• colour in the spring. Pitching in Friday were, from left:
Barb Durrell, Val Pethick, Rita Bauer and Carol Reinink.
Not pictured were Kathy and Steve Huether and sons
Kenny and Ray, Vanessa Wilts, Claire Reinink, Amy
Maddess and Mike Durrell.
