The next card party will be held

Seniors' monthly meeting will be
held Wednesday, Jan.31 at 12:30
p.m.
The second Sunday of Epiphany is
also known in Christendom as
Baptism of Jesus Sunday. The
Sacrament of Holy Communion was
observed at Londesboro United
Church on Jan. 14.
Ushering were pert Lyon and
Garnet Wright.
The senior choir sang I Was There
to Hear Your Borning Cry as an
anthem.
Rev. Paul Ross, during the chil-
dren's time, showed them a gift he
received this past Christmas. The gift
was a lighted, water-filled container
which held a small shipwreck and
some sea monkeys. He assured the
young folk that because every gift is
an expression of someone's love, it
should be appreciated.
I Corinthians 12: 1-11, Paul talks of
the nine spiritual gifts God may gave
to His people. The scripture passage
from John 2: 1-11 is the story of the
first miracle performed by Jesus; the
turning of water into wine at a wed-
ding feast in Cana.
The message was Gifts from God.
Rev. Ross stated that all of God's
people receive at least one of God's
spiritual gifts. Christians must use
these gift(s) so the whole community
of God's people will benefit. By shar-
ing these gifts, and living their faith
in the context of community,
Christians show appreciation for
God's gifts.
Focus on Sabbatical is a strategy
planned by western farmers to not

In Rev. Ross's absence next
Sunday, the guest speaker will be
Richard Bain.

Firefighters
battle blaze
in Hullett
It was a fire which could have
resulted in far more damage, but
Blyth Fire Chief Paul Josling said
the Thursday morning call to John
Wiersma's property at Lot 5, Conc.
14, Hullett, was minor in nature.
The Blyth and District Fire
Department was called out at 6 a.m.,
Jan. 11 after fire had spread into the
wall of a shed.
Josling said the blaze was the
result of sparks from welding done
the previous day. It had gotten into
materials beneath a piece of equip-
ment and smoldered all night.
"(The property owners) had the
fire pretty much out when we
arrived," said Josling, "but it was
still hot."
He said it was fortunate the fire
had not gotten into the open
polyurethane on the walls, which can
go up very quickly.
The damage was minimal, only a
few hundred dollars, he added.
Saying farewell
Former students, co-workers and friends had the opportuni-
ty to offer retiring teacher Dave Medd best wishes when they
gathered at Hullett Central Public School, Jan. 14, for an
open house.
