PAGE 7. E. Meelinehey hosts Walkerburn Club FROM AUBURN Stand Fast Knox sermon Palm Sunday worship at Knox United Church began with Rev. Paul Ross welcoming and inviting all to worship. The opening chorus was sung with Nancy Park, organist. Church announcements were given. Good Friday service will be held at Knox on April 13 at 10 a.m. Lois Haines invited the Bible Study group to her home on April 19 at 1:30 p.m. Read Daniel 2 and 3. Knox UCW will meet Monday, April 23 at 8 p.m. Auburn Community Care Project will be on display. Guests will be from Blyth and Londesboro. The first hymn was Hosanna, Loud Hosanna. As the children come to the front the children's chorus was sung. Rev. Ross showed them a picture of Christ and spoke to them of the entry made to the city of Jerusalem and of the rejoicing of the people. The Lord's Prayer was said in unison by all. My Song is Love Unknown was sung and the children went to their classes. Scripture was given by Rev. Ross followed by words from Luke 19. Here Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the colt and the people threw their cloaks on the ground and praised Him and called Him the King of Peace. The Pharisees, however, did not understand. Rev. Ross's sermon was Stand Fast about the necessity of following His word and doing your best to do as He would have you do. The communion hymn was Here, 0 My Lord. The elders serving were Larry Plaetzer, Trudy Sturzenegger, Elva Armstrong and Margaret Bakker. Offering was received and present- ed by Rick Archambault and Larry Plaetzer and for the Sunday School by Stephanie Archambault. The Walkerburn Club met at Eileen McClinchey's home on April 2. Prayer was given and the minutes were read by Betty Archambault. Bernice Norman gave the treasurer's report and received the offering. Ethel Ball gave an Easter reading and invited the club to her home for May 7. Discussion arose over, upcoming events but no definite plans were made or date set. Grace Cartwright, Auburn, was with the Club, most of whom had watched her' grow up in the Walkerburn district and attended old #9 school. Grace came to teach 'dowel crochet'. The club brought forth the dowels which ElI Lapp had made for them, the ladies produced their yarn and Grace taught them how to make afghan, throws, etc. Everyone learned but some found it easier than others. Oh well, experi- ence is the best teacher. The club thanked Grace for being a good teacher. A number of Auburnites enjoyed another delicious meal on Friday, April 6 at the Blyth Anglican Church. At least one of the group had initiative and wore her spring bonnet. However, there was a real variety of special bonnets. Actually it was a more springlike day — a great deal of ourlovely white snow had or was leaving. The roast beef country supper held at Knox United, Auburn on April 4 was really an old-fashioned meal. I'm sure everyone felt stuffed when they finished. There was everything, delicious beef with horseradish and of course gravy, mashed potatoes, turnips and sweet corn. There was also a choice of pies. It was practi- cally "ask and you shall receive". It was not only the meal but the super waitresses and waiters and seeing so many old friends that was special. Guests were there from Londesboro, Blyth and even friends from Goderich who were delighted to be back where they had served for so many years. There was a full house for the supper for the first meal and a good crowd for the sec- ond. Rev. Paul Ross offered grace before the meal and I think a good number were in no hurry to leave when finished. Everyone enjoyed the meal but were also enjoying the company of old friends. Special thanks goes to those who made sure others were there, those A sing-song was enjoyed with Brock Vodden was the pianist. They were old tunes which we all now and love. The guest speaker was a lady who loved spinning. First she showed various articles that she had made from various types of yarns that she had made. Then she showed how the yarns were made with two different types of spinning wheels. Bradley Lapp was with the Blyth Cadets on Saturday, April 7 when all surrounding cadets met for a Cadet Day. He participated in all sports and won five second winner ribbons. Congratulations' to all cadets for learning and fun. Nancy Denys, Kipper!, visited with her parents Saturday afternoon and showed pictures of their family holiday in Cuba. As the family is growing up and two are working, this will probably be the last big trip for all together. A number of Auburn and former Auburn folks attended the Gospel 'Songfest at Londesboro United Sunday. I'm just going to say that the spiritual gospel songs brought back memories. To me the junior choir was out of this world. For Ell, my husband, the singing -of ,the Harmony Hi-lites was his favourite, but we enjoyed every- thing. whom, for one reason or another, without assistance would not have been present. Special thanks also to all who produced the delicious meal and served it. Proceeds are for the Sunday School. A good. Sunday School is the beginning of a good church, so thanks to all.
