Little
School
students
celebrate
he Walton Little School's toddler
class continues holiday celebrations
by creating a Class Christmas Book,
.practising Christmas carols and
using the Christmas counting
chart.
During last week, the toddlers
have been bringing in their
favourite holiday books to read and
share with their friends.
The pre-school class has been
busy writing letters to Santa Claus
and counting down the days left
until Christmas.
They have reached their goal for
Our Gift of Hope money, that the
children and families have
generously donated and now they
are able to give a gift of school
supplies for an entire class of less
fortunate children.
The children have really enjoyed
watching the money accumulate
and were happy to participate in the
experience of giving to others less
fortunate this Christmas.
Wilbees
greet
at Duff's
On the third Sunday of Advent,
members of Dull 's United Church
were greeted by the Wilbee family.
Keith, Gloria, Kevin and Mark.
Christmas music was provided by
Phyllis Mitchell, Graeme Craig and
Glenda Morrison.
In celebration of Advent, the
candle of Joy was lit and responsive
reading was led by Brian and Abby
McGavin. The congregation was
blessed by the musical talents of
Brian Black and Gloria Wilbee who
sang In the Silent Night.
Marie McGavin delivered the first
-‘ scripture reading of the service.
Joan Tuchlinsky's reflection was
on the joy and anticipation of the
coming of new life in the birth of a
baby.
The offering was taken by John
Huether, Brian Wilbee and Paul
McCallum.
The Sunday School families and
friends enjoyed a delightful wagon
ride on Friday evening. The wagon
was donated and decorated by
McGavins and it travelled through
the village with its passengers
singing Christmas carols and
wishing all a Merry Christmas. The
wagon was full of families and upon
arriving at Emerson and Phyllis
Mitchell's all were treated with the
gift of an apple. The basement of the
church was a festive place with all
enjoying hot chocolate and cookies.
The Sunday school wrapped up their
sales of Rheo Thompson chocolates
this week and thank everyone for
their support.
This Sunday is the sacrament of
baptism.
Walton will have a Christmas Eve
Service at 7:30 p.m.
Dianne McCallum was thanked
for delivering the white gifts to the
Huron County Christmas Bureau.

financial contributions must be
handed in by Dec. 31 and no later.
The annual meeting is set for Jan. 19.

monthly church responsibilities will
be attended to by Graeme and Helen
Craig.
Donating
