PAGE 16. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2001.
I had a 'first' last night. I guess we
are never too old to have a 'first'.
Doug Fraser dropped by with a
Christmas pudding from Marj. Well
I have never in my life seen a
Christmas pudding raw, nor have I
ever cooked one before. So Marj
phoned with instructions on how to
steam it. Well after punning the pan
dry from trying to steam it and a few
other complications I am proud to
say that my very first Christmas
pudding looks and smells very good.
I know nothing about the sauce that
is supposed to go with it. That will
be my next lesson.
Congratulations to Graeme Craig,
Jimmy Campbell and Lynda
McAdam who have completed one
year of not smoking. They were part
of a group that Lynda got going a
year ago. They met at the Walton
Inn for their sessions and when the
course was over ... well as they say
the rest is history.
Tina McClure, 18, has a little side-
line in the woodworking business.
She makes a variety of items from
wood houses to ornaments. Show
her a pattern and she'll make it.
Anyone interested in having a look
can see her display at the Walton
Inn. ,Call her at 527-1139 if you'd
like to order anything.
WUCC
• enjoys
potluck
Don't you just love to go to
potluck suppers? Well last
Wednesday night the smells and the
sight of all those casseroles and sal-
ads at the WUCC's Christmas party
was rather overwhelming.
Especially if one is on a diet. Then to
turn around from the main course
and see the whole counter full of
desserts.
The downstairs was decorated
beautifully by Audrey Hackwell and
Marie McGavin and it added to the
festivities of the night.
After everyone had had enough to
eat, the worship part of the meeting
took place with Marion Godkin giv-
ing the call to Worship and an open-
ing prayer. Marie McGavin played
the piano while everyone sang 0
Little Town of Bethlehem.
Dianne McCallum read the book
of Malachi and Shelley McGavin
read from the book of Luke. Marion
did a reading called Mary's
Christmas.
Away in a Manger and Silent
Night were sung. -
Following worship Marie
McGavin took over the business part
of the meeting, She welcomed Joan
Tuchlinsky to the meeting and pre-
sented a basket, full of goodies from
the ladies for her and her family.
Joan replied with thanks and said
how happy she and her family were
to be here in Walton and how every-
one has made them feel so welcome.

Neil and Marie McGavin were
greeters at Duff's United Church on
Dec. 9.
Following the Call to Worship
Joan Tuchlinsky announced that the
next discussion group will be
Wednesday, Dec. 12 at Gloria
Wilbee's. The theme will be about
Christmas and how it has affected
you and your faith. Come share sto-
ries, memories and you can bring an
item that has meaning for you,
Patty and Cassandra Banks, and
grandchildren Tyler and Brooke
Ribey helped with the advent litany
and lighting of the second advent
candle. The choir sang the advent
-hymn, Mary a Woman of Promise.
Ms Tuchlinsky called the children
forward and had_ them hand out
paper and pens to everyone in the
congregation. She asked everyone to
write an obstacle in their life that
keeps them from living out the realm
of God right now. Then the people
ripped the papers up and the kids
collected them in baskets.
Dec. '16 is the Communion
Sunday, the last one for 2001. The
choir will be singing accompanied
by Susanna Lyman on flute.
"Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight," said John
the Baptist. He was encouraging
people then and also in this time of
Advent, to an inner journey of
preparing a straight path to their
hearts, a road free of any obstacles
that might hinder the Messiah com-
ing more fully into their lives.
Are we willing, asked Tuchlinsky
to look deep within ourselves and
shine a light on those rocks and pot-
holes that hinder God's path to our
hearts? Are we willing to clear them
away using all the energy and com-
mitment that we can?
For those who couldn't make it to
the carol-sing at Duff's United
Church you really missed out on
something spectacular. Although you
probably would have had to stand
because the place was packed.
With all of the lights, and angels
and the sound of all those voices
singing carols it 'was a real high for
me anyway.
With Glenda Morrison at the
organ, Phyllis Mitchell playing the
violin, Susanna Lyman playing her
flute and Kathy Procter and Grace
Jutzi taking turns at the piano, the
night couldn't have been any better.
Each church was represented by an
angel reading from the book of
Luke. Matthew Huether was the first
angel, representing Duff's United.
Crystal Ford read for the Mennonite
church, Laurie Grobbink represented
St. Ambrose Catholic church,
Lindsay Malhiot took her turn for the
Anglican church, Kasey King read
for the Presbyterian and Kari Bell
read for the Brussels United Church.
It was certainly evident that all of
the choirs had really worked hard on
their songs, all of them, a different
and beautiful in their own way.
Greeters for the evening were Rev.
Cathrine Campbell and Pastor Brent
Kipfer. Joan Tuchlinsky and Joan
Golden offered their leadership for
the offering. All monies went to the
Brussels Ministerial Benevolent
Fund. Rev. Tom Wilson gave the
Benediction,
The evening closed with all six
angels lifting their arms in the air
and wishing everyone ... Peace on
Earth.
Spreading the word
Among the angels, carols and presentations, area choirs performed at the annual Brussels
Ministerial Christmas concert, Let the Angels Sing, at Duff's United Church on Sunday night.
The Duff's choir filled the church with music performing The Angels Song. (Vicky Bremner photo)
