Parr conducts service The parable told by Jesus of the vineyard workers in Matthew 20: 1- 16 was the basis for the service at LondeSboro United Church on Sunday, Sept. 22. Rob Parr conducted the service and his message was titled The Last Shall Be First. In the parable all the workers in the vineyard were paid the same wage regardless of what time of day they began to work. To those who worked the longest that day and perhaps to those hearing the story, this does not seem fair or just. However God's focus is on the work not the reward for working. An unemployed worker in Christ's time or today struggles with his/her self-worth or dignity. In God's view, to work for any length of time is what is important_for the person. The message of the parable, Mr. Parr noted, was that it matters not when a person comes to God. When someone accepts the way of Christ, the slate is wiped clean. In this way the last are as the first. Christians are asked to celebrate with God when anyone turns from sin to be accepted by God. Christ wants His followers to live their life in such a way that those who don't know God will know Him by their example. Mr. Parr's message during the children's time was that they should always do what God wants them to because other children/friends are watching. They should set an example of God's way, sort of like walking in Christ's footsteps. In Paul's letter to the Philippians 1: 21-30. he tells them that their way of life should be as the words of Christ teaches. The flowers at the front of the sanctuary were from the funeral of Barbara Walsh, cousin of Ken and Betty Moon, .Murray Lyon and Milt and Helen Dale. Condolences are expressed to the family from the church and community. The service next Sunday will be conducted by Wilbert Schwindt. New carpet is being laid in the sanctuary this week. A special evening of cleaning is planned for Wednesday, Sept. 25 from 7 - 9 p.m. Your help would surely be appreciated.

Women of Londesboro United Church at their Sept. 16 meeting enjoyed hearing from Liz MacGregor about her month-long Lions exchange in Brazil. Liz was met in Sao Paulo on June 28 for a two-week stay with her host family in Pouso Alegre Minas Genius. Brazilians speak Portuguese and her host family kneW very little English so at times conversation was difficult. However, her host family live in an area of Brazil known as "The area of full table" and Liz was treated to many extended family and neighbourhood parties. She was taken on many interesting short trips. The Brazilian diet consists. mainly of rice and a variety of beans with chicken or pork very occasionally. Liz did, however, enjoy the wide variety of fresh fruit. All 27 exchange students in Brazil at the time from all around the world met for one week at the Lions Camp in Sao Jose dos Campos. This camp was at a winter resort/youth hostel in the mountains. For the last week of her stay, the group stayed in Rio de Janeiro. Rio is home to the world's largest soccer stadium, Ipanema Beach, Copacabana Beach and Sugar Loaf, Mountain. The young people got to visit these attractions as well as the interesting markets.
