PAGE 13. M. Hern leads United Church worship FROM LONDESBORO At time of reporting Ted Fothergi I is home again having spent a few days recently in Clinton Public Hospital.

It seems many folk are taking advantage of the mild November weather to get started on their Christmas decorating. The sights of the season are showing up every- where as a reminder to begin plan- ning, shopping and enjoying the weeks to come. To help with your shopping the Suncoast Mall in Goderich is having Moonlight Madness this Friday, Nov. 23. The Blyth Festival Singers will be there to share the sounds of the season in their first ever Sing-a- Thon for your enjoyment. Familiar carols and other seasonal songs will lift your spirits. The choir will harmonize during three 45- minute sessions beginning at 8 p.m. They would be pleased to have you as part of their audience sometime during the evening. Busy that night? Consider spon- soring a Blyth Festival Singer for the sing-a-thon. A member of the choir in your area would be grateful to have you sign his/her pledge sheet. In the absence of Rev. Paul Ross, Margaret Hern conducted the morn- ing service at Londesboro United Church on Sunday, Nov. 18. Mrs. Hem is active in both presbytery and UCW work and her home congrega- tion is Zion West United Church. Mrs. Hern's message was titled Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying. She related the events of a week in April 2000 when her 18- month-old grandson, Cameron, was poisoned. He drank what he proba- bly thought was freshie and spent several days in the pediatric inten- sive care unit of a London hospital. The family's prayers brought heal- ing and they felt the support of the prayers of their community. A Christian community shares each other's sorrows, burdens and rejoic- ings. Also, they recognize God will always love and support, she said. Mrs. Hern encouraged the congre- gation to seek joy in the little things of life, in God's creation, and to share love with family and friends. Christians are called by God to be Christ's face, hands and heart in their actions. The scripture passages were Matthew 6: 9-13, 26: 38 and 28: 6 and 7.

Competition between the classes for the ice-cream party reward was intense. At the final tally Mrs. Gilroy's room had sold I 1 1 subscriptions. Close behind was Mr. Drennan's class with 106 subscriptions. Tomorrow, Nov. 22 being Hullett Spirit Day, the students will be wear- ing their Hullett t-shirts and partici- pating in a number of activities to increase their school pride. This week's virtue is responsibility and the quote comes from Ron Brown. "My life is an influence on every life mine touches. Whether I realize or not I am responsible and accountable for that influence." Prayers are like letters, said Ms 1925 as a Methodist Church minis- Hem, and during the children's time ter.
