The virtue this week at Hullett
school is joyfulness. Don Blanding's
quote states, "Joy is an inside job".
On Monday, May 20 Linda Burns
was the thought-provoking guest
speaker at the Londesboro UCW
meeting. She does sates and
marketing for the Campaign for Life
Coalition. She reflected that her
work for this group is a natural fit
with her religious upbringing.
The Campaign for Life Coalition
is a pro-life association working to
dispense knowledge and dispel
misconceptions about abortion
euthanasia and embryonic stem
research. The coalition believes in
the right to life of all persons — the
unborn, the disabled, the infirm and
the aged. Pro-life also means to die
with dignity.
Her talk to the ladies that evening
dealt mostly with the issue of
abortion. Although Ms Burns
recognizes that abortion and its
alternatives are not easy to talk
about, it is an issue that needs to be
Awards semi
The Sunday School held its yearly
award and promotion service at
Londesboro United Church on May
26. Kelly Stevenson welcomed all
on behalf of the Sunday School.
Kendra Falconer opened the
service playing Angloise in A
Major.
Irish Dance was the lively tune
played by Rachel Snell and her
sister, Jennifer offered The Riddle
Song. Two familiar times, Do Lord
and Ode to Joy performed by Emily
Allen were also enjoyed.
Members of the junior choir
directed by Barb Bosman, sang The
Tooth Song and Creature Praise.
Amanda Hare's solo, Circle of
Friends was delightful.
Several young people read
scripture selections throughout the
service. The first scripture passage
from II Timothy 3: 14-17 was read
by Jacqui Mitchell. Later in the
service her sister, Amanda, read
Matthew 18: 1-6. Mikala Allen's
selection was Mark 10: 13-16.
A children's interpretation of
Psalm 15 was shared by Meaghan
Wheeler and Alex Stevenson. Corey
Pollard's reading was titled, Here I
am Lord.
Offering was received by Corey
and Caitlyn Pollard, Jennifer Snell
and Emily Allen. The service closed
with prayer led by Shelby Radford.
Individual classes were
introduced to the congregation by
superintendent Deb Stevenson and
pupils and teachers were presented
addressed.
Believing that Jesus protects life
in all forms she and the coalition
work to inform young people. They
believe the money the government
provides for abortion would be
better spent on adoption promotion.
Ms Burns has produced a number
of videos dealing with ethical and
moral issues. She showed two of the
videos that evening and answered
their questions. Before reaching a
conclusion on issues, she noted, it is
important for persons to always see
an issue from more than one
perspective.
Marjorie Duizer, Betty Hulley,
Cheryl Trewartha and Katherine
Allen conducted a devotional time.
They chose readings and a poem
around the theme of Mother's Day.
The old and familiar hymn When
Mothers of Salem was sung as well.
Thanks to the generosity of
with a gift. The theme of Deb's
short message was, The View from
Downstairs. She reviewed the
activities of the Sunday school over
the previous nine months and
mentioned plans for the new year
beginning in September. She
pointed out that the objective of
these activities is to assist with the
faith formation of the young people
and maintain a sense of church
family.
A potluck lunch followed the
service and between first course and
dessert, the Mitchell sisters
displayed their stepdancing talent.
The children ended their year
participating in a number of outdoor
games. Rumour has it the pinatas
filled with candy were a big hit.
Flowers on the memorial stand
had been placed by the Jewitt family
in memory of son and brother, Bill.
Next Sunday Londesboro United
Church will celebrate the sacrament
of holy communion and
confirmation. A reception in honour
of the confirmands will be held
following the service.
talented community folk, including
Jean Good of Auburn, more than 20
small afghans will he donated to
London's Children's Hospital.
A large quantity of wool for latch
hooking has been donated. The
ladies are hoping someone may be
interested in hooking a rug to
perhaps he an item for the fall
church auction.
It has been noted that there are
very. few tea towels in the church
kitchen. It is speculated that
someone may have taken soiled
towels home to launder and
forgotten to bring them back. Their
return would surely be appreciated.
For the June meeting, items on the
wish list for Camp Menesetung will
be welcomed for roll call.
