PAGE 7. FROM WALTON Dry time, theme of reading Helen Craig, Margery Huether and Betty McCall were in charge of the WUCC meeting last Wednesday night. Their theme was called The Dry Time in which Marg did a read- ing. The topic was, Children ... is any- body listening. Helen read about this from the magazine, Mandate. Then Betty challenged the ladies by pre- senting them with a Bible arithmetic contest. It was fair to say that the ladies weren't too good with their numbers but all were treated to some candy. A delicious lunch was served after the meeting. On behalf of the Walton commu- nity, I would like to extend our con- dolences to Marlene Britton and her friend Harold Wright, upon the death of her son, Jeff Britton. Congratulations and good luck go to two people in Walton who have started their new businesses. Paul Ryan, who has been a mechanic for 20 years, and who has worked for Radford's for some time has decided to add to the family business by opening a shop called Ryan Enterprises and Truck Repair. No only will he be busy helping to keep his dad Gerry's four trucks" (or so) in repair he will now be open to any- one in need of their truck being fixed. Good luck, Paul. Then we have Trevor Sutcliffe who came from England to Egmondville to Walton and opened up his new shop called TS Fabrication (formerly L & H Resources) welding, manufacturing and general repair. It's been rumoured that they can make and design anything. McDonalds greet at Duff's Linda and Jim McDonald were greeters at Duff's United Church on Sept. 9, a Recovenanting Sunday. The service began with the wel- come and the announcements. All women are invited to attend Women's Experience, a presentation and discussion at Grey Central Public School on Sept. 19 at 7:30 p.m. There will be a video called, A Jury of her Peers. There -Will be refreshments served as well. Donations of non-perishable food and other items to go to the Women's Shelter in Goderich will be appreciated. Just a reminder that there will be no church service in Walton next week but one in Bluevale beginning at 11 a.m. Church school will begin in Walton on Sept. 23. Brian Black shared his gift of music with the congregation by singing, Living in the Light. A dramatic presentation was per- formed by Brandon McGavin and Joan Tuchlinsky. Following a recovenanting Litany, where the congregation renewed their baptismal promises to help each other grow in faith„to continue to offer their talents, time and pos- sessions, to offer God, their gifts of ministry, Heidi McClure and Patty Banks were called to the front of the church. Patty Banks was presented with a beautiful plate called, Gently Giving, from the Sunday School for her years as Sunday School Superintendent. Shelley McGavin will now take over that position. Well folks give them a call and let me know if that is a fact. Congratulations Trevor and good luck. Calling all quilters! Anyone inter- ested in quilting can get involved Monday, Sept. 24 at Duff's United Church to work on a quilt started in 1902. If interested call Karen Hoegy or Marion Godkin. Following the church service at Duff's United Church on Sept. 23, there will be muffins and coffee served. Actually the coffee will be supplied by Maxwell House and all proceeds will be going to the Alzheimer's Society. If you missed it in June you have a chance again to see the musical, The Rock Slinger and his Greatest Hit! The musical was so popular that the cast was invited to perform again at the Mennonite Church in Brussels on Sept. 22. For more information call B.J. DeJong at the Walton Store. An appreciation afternoon was held recently at the home of Brian Black; for those who assisted in the background in that musical: Everyone was entertained on the manse veranda until weather condi- tions forced them all inside to con- verse and watch the Rock Slinger video that was made by Neil McGavin. Following this, a delicious smor- gasbord dinner was served and everyone enjoyed a relaxing after- noon. The Huron and Perth District of Rebekahs (Independent Order of Oddfellows) joined to form District #23. With the change, the lodges from Clinton, Brussels, Stratford, St. Marys, Exeter and Listowel are all one. These lodgeS are under the juris- diction of Ontario, for which Sister Molly James of Peterborough is the President. Sister Joyce Chilton of Bayfield is the newly elected District Deputy President and Sister Bonnie Upshall of Hensall is the new secretary- treasurer. These positions are for the year 2001-2001, ending in May of 2002. Along with the new union comes a change in the year end. Sister Chilton conducted the inaugural, meeting at the Clinton Lodge Hall on Aug. 29. Nearly 40 sisters from the various lodges (with one exception) answered the roll call. • Sister Chilton received her collar from the Past District Deputy Presidents, Sister Elva Brown of Walton and Sister Lillian Jones of Stratford. Sister Chilton, in turn, pinned Sisters Brown and Jones with their Past Deputy District President Pins. Sister Jean Dawson of Stratford and Sister Rene Richmond of Brussels became Past Secretary Treasurers. Sister Mary Fisher of Exeter was the lucky door prize winner. She won a crystal candle holder. A moment of silence was observed in memory of recently deceased sisters. Sister Bea Bowman, Noble Grand, and her helpers provided a refreshing tea and punch with cake to close the afternoon. All the lodges in District 23 will be launching their tall meetings early in September for the ensuing year. Should anyone be interested in hearing more about this benevolent society, they are invited to contact any member of a local lodge, or Joyce Chilton at 519-565-2165. The men's organization, the Oddfellows, is now accepting the women into their organization, as the women do for the men.
