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.

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) McGavins greet at Duff's Please Recycle This Newspaper FROM WALTON
