The children came to the front and presented their white gifts for the Huron County Christmas Bureau. Rev. Eugene Bannerman's story to them was about the first Christmas stocking and how the children of a poor family had hung their stockings in the fireplace to dry and a priest had thrown coins down the chimney and they had landed in the stockings. Everyone had a coin in their stocking the next morning. All the children reached into the stocking he had and received a chocolate instead of a coin. The Choral Kids sang two more Christmas numbers. Rev. Bannerman thank them on behalf of the congregation. The dramatized reading was from Isaiah 40: 1- 1 1. Those participating were Amanda, Brandilyn and Wyatt Bearss, Chelsea and Amelia Carter- Brown, Aleisha Dale, Nicole Meier and Meghan Watson. Psalm 85 was read responsively. The Gospel reading was from Mark 1: 1-8. Rev. Bannerman's message to the adults was entitled The Story of the Huron Carol. A group of French missionaries from France and Quebec set out by canoe and travelled to a remote settlement of the Huron nation, just north of where Barrie is today. Their purpose was to bring Christianity to the Huron people. One priest composed the Christmas story .as a poem in the Huron language and set the poem to music of a French song he had learned. This became the Huron Carol. We are sorry to hear that Dorothy Daer is in Clinton Hospital and Marjorie East is also in Clinton Hospital. We are glad to hear Maureen Montgomery is home from hospital and recovering from a fall. The winner of the 125th draw on Dec. 6 draw was Amber Tugwell of Vanastra, a granddaughter of Bev and Alex Blair. Monday night, Dec. 9 euchre results will be in next week's paper.
