Jewitts greet at Londesboro United
During the children's time at the
front at Londesboro United Church
on Sunday, Feb. 24 the second can-
dle of Lent was snuffed out. This
was a reminder that the Christian
world is moving on towards Easter.
John and Barb Jewitt were
greeters that morning. Gordon and
Darlene Shobbrook were the ushers.
Floral arrangements in the sanctu-
ary were placed by Betty Fisher and
family in memory of Ray Fisher.
There were also flowers from the
Wednesday funeral of Mrs. Pearl
Weatherhead, Carl Nesbitt's mother.

The virtue for the week of Feb. 24
to March 1 at Hullett Central Public

grace of kind speaking.'
On Feb. 1, one day later than
scheduled clue-to stormy weather, the

Appropriately the program theme
for the Feb. 18 meeting of the
Londesboro United Church Women
was love and hearts.
Guest speaker Sandy Maaskant of
Benmiller offered tips on handling
cut flowers and greenery for a bou-

ful red and white arrangement.
Thelma Dougherty, who admitted to
having a heart month birthday, was
presented with the arrangement.

Cheryl, of Komoka. Most recently
he was a resident of a Komoka-area
retirement home.
Did you see it Sunday night?
While fireworks danced over Salt
Lake City, Mother Nature put on a
show of her own — a totally awe-
some, ring around the moon. The
phenomenon was apparently caused
by the light of the moon reflecting
off ice crystals in the atmosphere. It
was quite a sight!
comfort those families who have lost
a loved one.
In Rev. Paul Ross's storybag the
children found a pad of postcards,
issued by the post office for change
of address notification. It was
acknowledged that when someone
moves, a friend may not know how
to find that person. Rev. Ross
assured the children that God always
knows where they are.
In Genesis 12: 1-4, God calls
Abraham to leave his family and
move with Lot to a new place.
Abraham was guided by God to a

first place.
On Friday, Feb. 8, 41 pupils from
Grades 6, 7 and 8 enjoyed a-great
day of skiing at Talisman Ski Resort.
Mr. Drennan and Mrs Turcotte
accompanied the group.
The chocolate fundraiser held just
before Christmas and sponsored for
the school band, was a great success.
With the monies realized the school
was able to purchase a new French
horn and some new band music.

something new, bought a share in the
Flowers 'N Things flower shop in
Clinton. She took floral classes at
Fanshawe College in London and
finds the work challenging and cre-
ative.
Then she challenged the ladies to
create a bow with two yards of rib-
Israel.
John 3: 1-17 is an account of the
discussion between Jesus and
Nicodemus regarding the need for
man to be born again in God. This
rebirth enables man to move forward
in faith.
The title of Rev. Ross's message
as, Moving On. He noted that it is
always traumatic for those involved
in a move, like that of Abraham's
relocation. Persons, whose faith has
stalled, like Nicodemus, als,p need to
move on in new spiritual ways.
There is a difficulty, for a time, in

Russian folk story all about growing
up. Peter is warned repeatedly by his
grandfather to stay out of the mead-
ow because a wolf lived in the near-
by forest. However Peter disobeys
and goes out to play followed by his
cat, a duck and a bird.
When Peter finds himself in a dif-
ficult situation with the wolf he is
forced to be creative and captures it.
On Feb. 21 the pupils from kinder-
garten to Grade 6 were entertained

The 40-minute presentation was
bon. She was quite understanding of
their efforts.
Sandy answered many questions'
about the flower business.
The worship service was led by
Bernice Norman, Brenda Konarski,
Margaret Wright and Thelma
Dougherty. A poem about sharing
changes and feelings of fear, sorrow
and grief are normal. These feelings
of uncertainty are now being faced
by Rev. Ross and the Londesboro
congregation as they go on in new
directions. Rev. Ross urged congre-
gants to put their trust in God and
look to Him for guidance.
Coffee, juice and muffins will be
