Greeters at Londesboro United Church on Palm Sunday, April 8 were Audrey Thompson and Edythe Beacom. The ushers were Ken and Marlene Armstrong. The senior choir anthem was titled 0 Cross Upon Mount Calvary. Serving communion on what is also known as Passion Sunday were Brian Whyte, Nick Whyte, Mel Knox, Jack Lee, Don Allen, Helen Dale, Brenda Konarski, Bernice Norman, Garnet Wright and Brenda Radford. A package of confetti and a bottle of bubble-blowing liquid were the items in the storybag. The children discussed celebrations and parades. From a picture held by Rev. Paul Ross, the children learned of Christ's entry into Jerusalem when the people waved palm branches. Each child received a cross made from palm leaves to remind them of the happi- n.2.ss of Palm Sunday. Psalm 118 was the morning's responsive psalm. The Old Testament scripture passage, Isaiah 50: 4-9, was a portion of what is referred to as the suffering servant's song. The narrator of the scripture is a teacher whose words have not been well received. However, he stands firm, believing he is teaching truth and that God will help him. The New Testament passage from Luke 19: 28-40 is the Palm Sunday story of Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Jesus had been advised not to go to Jerusalem by His disciples.

There were also three other schools, Blyth, Colborne and Holmesville, who came to watch in the morning. Kindergartens to Grade 6 were His faith and purpose and made His arrival a celebration. Rev. Ross told the congregants that God calls them to stand firm in their faith; to stand fast in the face of opposition. A dedication of memorial gifts was also part of the morning's service. Glass tops for the communion table, the vestry table, and the table located in the ramp entrance as well as run- ners for these tables and antependi- ums were presented by clerk of ses- sion, Nick Whyte. Receiving these gifts in memory of Kent Shillinglaw on behalf of the congregation was Rev. Ross. He blessed the gifts and dedicated them to the glory of God in Londesboro United Church. Brass plaques acknowledging the gifts will be -attached to each glass top. The coloured cloths, crafted by ladies of the UCW, will be changed to follow the colours associated with the church calendar. Many of Kent's family members were present for the dedication. Following is an article from The Clinton News-Record dated Thursday, Oct. 23, 1975. The report was filed by Mrs. Bert (Dora) Shobbrook for Anniversary Sunday at Londesboro United Church. It is of interest in light of the dedication of memorial gifts on Sunday, April 8, 2001 and plans by the stewards to do some repairs and redecorating to the church building this year, The church -was beautifully deco- rated with autumn flowers grown by Mrs. Bill Hamilton and arranged by her daughter, Mrs. Murray Lyon. Welcoming into the narthex Sunday morning were Nick Whyte with Chris from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Together they sang songs about the environment. He played many differ- ent instruments. For some songs he got volunteers and for others every- one did actions. After lunch it was the Grades 7/8's turn. They made a song with him about food. It was a lot of fun. and Emerson Hesk. Ushers were Steven Bromley, Glen Johnston, Dave Lear and Ken Pollard. Rev. MacDonald conducted the opening devotions and held a dedica- tion of memorials. Pulpit drapes pre- sented by Miss Irene Cockerline of Warren, Michigan were in loving memory of her aunt and uncle, Mr. gnd Mrs. Robert Cockerline, grand- parents of John Pollard. The communion table cloths and narthex drapes were in loving memo- ry of Mrs. Lily Webster from a lega- cy she left the Brean Unit of the UCW. Reupholstered pulpit chairs were presented by Mr. and Mrs. Art Clark in loving memory of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Woodman. The carpets were donated by the United Church Women. The redecoration of the church was completed by volunteers sharing their time and talents. Special gifts for further drapes and panelling to complete the church dec- orating were given by special groups of friends in the congregation. Special music was rendered by the choir, singing God Himself is With Us and When the Roll is Called up Yonder with LoUise Lovett organist and Mrs. Allen Shaddick, choir leader. Rev. Grant Mills of Exeter was guest speaker reading the scriptures and speaking of Keeping Alive. The report goes on to say that in the evening (yes, that's evening service) the CHSS choir supplied the music and Mrs. Stan Brenton of Chatham was the guest speaker. Down in the Personals column it was reported that Rev. and Mrs. Brenton and their daughter Sylvia, spent Sunday night with Mrs. Joe Shaddick. Also, Mrs. Eleanor Cockerline and Miss Irene Cockerline spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. John Pollard and Mr. and Mrs. George Pollard and attended the anniversary service for the dedication. I trust you found that report interesting. Many thanks to Brenda Konarski for passing that paper on to me when she discovered it while doing some housecleaning. The Londesboro UCW will meet Monday, April 16 at 7:30 p.m. for dessert, 8 p.m. for meeting. Tami Antaya of Town and Country Support Services will speak about Lifeline Systems.
