FROM LONDESBORO
Salute to Sponge Bob
This game at Hullett public school's afternoon of fun
athletics, involved a spongeful of water and getting wet. The
participants didn't seem to mind however, as they happily
splashed the sponge back and forth without ever appearing
to care about who was winning. (David Blaney photo)

Father, daughter greet at church
Appropriately, a father/daughter
duo, Don and Elizabeth MacGregor,
received the offering at Londesboro
United Church on Father's Day.
On Sunday. June 16, the children
found a Father's Day card in Rev.
Paul Ross's storybag. The young
folk agreed that they gave cards to
their fathers because they love them.
When asked how they could show
love to their heavenly Father they
agreed the best way was to live the
way God would like them to.
A chorus of 16 ladies, directed by
organist Barb Bosman, opened the
service with a medley of Sweet Jesus
and Happiness Is The Lord. Later,
they sang Show a Little Bit of Lore
and Kindness.

Culross graduated its last Grade 8
students and closed its doors to
education. On Saturday, June 8 there
Rev. Ross played the song,
Everwhingis All Right on his flute.
In the musical, Jesus Christ
Superstar, this selection was sung
by Mary Magdalene to Jesus, the
night before His crucifixion. This
number prefaced the scripture
reading Luke 9: 37-43.
In these verses a distraught father
with an epileptic son pleads for help
from Jesus. With similar words
Jesus reassures the father while
healing the boy.
Rev. Ross pointed out that all
fathers would seek help for -their
children.
In Ephesians 5:21 6:4, the apostle
Paul has strong words about family
relationships and these verses were
was a reunion of all pupils who over
the years of its existence had
attended that one-room schoolhouse.
Attending the reunion at the
Belmore Community Centre were
Dorothy Johnston, her sister, Dale,
from South River and her sister,
Mackie, from Kincardine. The girls
had a wonderful time renewing
acquaintances with former
schoolmates and laughing over
sharing memories of teachers and
activities.
The former schoolmates could
also visit their school which has
been renovated into a private home
the basis for Rev. Ross's message,
Fathers and Churchmen.
Paul's advice to the Ephesians for
a hierarchal family seems out of step
with today's society, he said. Men's
relationships and attitudes have
evolved into shared responsibilities,
teamwork and equality with their
mates.
The apostle Paul was encouraging
men to love and care for their
families as God loves and cares for
His church. Christians therefore are
called to serve each other with love
and respect.
Although men have evolved in
their relationship with their families
they have not always evolved in
their relationship with the church.
the resident of which welcomed
them.
I'd like to share two thoughts that
in all likelihood were shared in
families around the globe last
Sunday, Father's Day. From children
• about their parent:
Though we cannot evaluate
Our dad, his love, his worth,
To us he'll always be "just Dad",
The greatest guy on earth.
And from dads about their
children:
The friendship that we
share my child,
Has brought me joy and peace.

"The real value of your life can only
be gauged by what it gives to the
