Walton Hall board
hosts Easter euchre
FROM WALTON
Quilt dedicated
at Duff's service
Members of Duff's United Church
were greeted by Lavern Godkin on
the second Sunday of Easter. After
opening prayers and announcements
the senior choir sang We Met You 0'
Christ.
There was the official dedication
of a special quilt. In August 1998, a
letter was received by Barb Durell,
addressed to the Mayor of Walton,
from Edna Glazier (nee Edna M.
Farquharson) of Vancouver, B.C.
She had unassembled quilt blocks
dated 1902, with names of
community members. The blocks
originated from the Walton area and
were taken to Provost, Alberta by her
grandmother, Janet Farquharson,
when she moved in 1908. Many
years later the blocks were found
with Edna's grandmother's things
and Edna wondered if someone in
Duff's Church would be interested in
making use of them.
In October 1998, Leona
McDonald, after visiting son Neil in
Vancouver, brought the blocks home
to Walton. Duff's UCW then made
the quilt with the blocks.
Now 100 years later, the blocks
have been assembled into a beautiful
historical quilt. There are 167 names
of community people and the
minister of the church at the time
was Rev. A. McNab whose picture
also hangs on the back wall of the
sanctuary. The quilt will be at the
front of the church this week and
then will be hung on the wall of the
sanctuary for display.
The scripture reader was Monique
Baan and the minute for missions
was presented by Darrell Morrison.
He read a portion of a letter received
from the mission and service
ministry that cohgratulated the
congregations of the United Church
of Canada for exceeding the 2001
goal and raising over $30 million.
They expressed their thanks for the
church's hard work and set a goal for
2002 of $30,500,000.
Joan Tuchlinsky's reflection was
on Living Hope. Pioneers in 1902,
who struggled in everyday life with
hardships many today cannot
imagine, were able to be a
community of faith that celebrated
their living hope by building this
church in 1912. "In today's world,
we are tested to live in hope," she
said.
The offering was taken by Ross
Bennett and Jim Mann.
Pulpit exchange will be Sunday
with Chris Beaumont from St. Paul's
United in Milverton leading the
worship service. Greeters will be
Jeff and Shannon McGavin. Baptism
will be April 21 and if you have a
child to be baptized, call Joan
immediately. If you have
announcements for the bulletin,
contact Joan or Heidi before
Wednesday to be included.
