LondesboroThe news from Special music at service
Compiled by Brenda Radford Phone 523-4296
UCW begins 2000
with tasty desserts
The executive of the Londesboro
UCW started the new millennium
in a most delicious way - serving
up very tasty desserts to begin the
afternoon meeting. Those in
attendance brought along a baby
photo of themselves, then had
many chuckles identifying each
other.
The many thank yous read from
those persons visited over the
Christmas season gave evidence of
the importance of this form of
ministry. It seemed those who
visited received as much enjoyment
as those who were visited.
With the beginning of a new year
it was appropriate to begin the new
study unit, A Call to Jubilee. The
celebration of jubilee comes from
the Jewish tradition of recognizing
their deliverance from Egypt.
Every 50th year is proclaimed a
year of forgiveness - to release the
poor from debt, to free the slaves,
to redistribute wealth.
In this year 2000 the World
Council of Churches is urging the
governments of the developed
countries to forgive the debts of
third world nations.
In impoverished nations, scarce
public money is being used for
interest/debt payments rather than
for meeting such basic needs as
health care, nutrition, clean water,
housing and education.
The worship service centred on
Luke 4: 18 and 19 and the release
from the bondage of debt and the
injustice of poor working
conditions.
If the business portion of the
meeting was any indication, this
will be another busy year for this
group. Some time was spent
updating plans for conducting the
worship service on Sunday, Jan. 23.
This group will host the annual
meeting of the Huron Perth
Presbyterial on Wednesday, Feb. 9.
President Joan Whyte hopes
many women of the congregation
will welcome the opportunity to
attend this event and learn about
UCW at another level.
The group will purchase four
new tables for the Sunday School
room. Members are reminded to
return the suggestion/questionnaire
sheets.
Feb. 21 is the date of the next
regular meeting. The World Day of
Prayer service will be Friday,
March 3.
Now that the manse is
undergoing renovation, the
community is asked to consider
donating coffee breaks and lunches
for the workers.
A most effective and thought
provoking service was presented by
the UCW this past Sunday. The
theme Proclaiming Jubilee, began
with the sound of trumpet by Carl
Stephenson.
Leading the service were Joan
Whyte and Kittie MacGregor. The
children shared time and
conversation with Crystal Whyte.
Gail Lear led the responsive
psalm, Psalm 72. The ushers were
Reta Kelland and Betty Millar.
Barb and Kelly Bosman shared
two duets.
A most entertaining part of the
service was the pantomime
presented by the Mitchell and
Falconer families. In a simplified
form the pantomime demonstrated
the plight of enslaved persons, in
this case farm families, and how
the act of forgiveness can break
those bonds.
Scripture lessons were read by
Kerri Whyte, Laura Scott and
Marsha Szusz. Each reader undid a
length of chain and dropped it to
the floor. Each member of the
congregation then received a paper
chain from Helen Dale and Liz
Lawson and were asked to reflect
on its symbolism. The bread passed
out by Anna Pollard and Betty Dale
represented the sharing of the
world’s harvest and wealth.
The junior choir will practice
after school on Feb. 5. Next Sunday
the sacrament of baptism will be
celebrated.
Have you called to volunteer at
the manse yet?
Hullett Happenings
Teachers retire
With the retirement of Mr.
Livermore and Mr. Rapson Hullett
Public School welcomes two new
teachers. Mary Ann Rowatt is the
new Grade 7/8 teacher. Beginning
Feb. 1 Ann Uhler will be school
resource in the mornings and the
afternoon Grade 4 teacher.
Fans are welcome at CHSS on
Thursday, Feb. 3 for boys and girls
senior volleyball.
The Grade 7 and 8 students will
be participating in a winter
education program at the Talisman
Mountain Resort on Thursday, Jan.
27.
Take your daily walk past the
school grounds on Friday, Feb. 4
and watch the students enjoying
their winter carnival afternoon.
Rally on hold
Shirley Reinink called to say that
the lack of snow so far this month
has prevented the Londesboro
Snowmobile Gang from having
their charity run. With more snow
and cold temperatures in the
forecast for this week they will sled
this Saturday, Jan. 29. The group
will meet at Hank’s shop at
8:30 a.m. and expect to head south
from there.

Introducing Emily
Over the past few months as we
picked up our mail or paper, bought
bread or milk, or stayed to eat at
Today’s Variety and Restaurant,
we have come to recognize Tom’s
daughter. The person with the
infectious laugh is Emily Cosby,
who came to help out when her dad
took ill.
Emily comes to Londesboro from
London by way of a short time in
Toronto. Having been a hair stylist
for many years before her health
became a deterrent, she is enjoying
being involved again with people at
the store.
Although her daughter,
Catherine, has returned to London,
Emily says she will be here for the
foreseeable future and looks
forward to getting to know more of
the local people.
Club dines at cafe
On Wednesday, Jan. 19 the
Cheerio Club dined at the Corner
Cafe and proceeded to the home of
Gloria McEwing. Dorothy
Johnston was welcomed as a new
member.
The lucky draw was won by
Marg Good. Roll call was answered
with interesting quotes.
Following a short business
session cards were enjoyed.
The group meets again on Feb.
16.
Students’ writing wins
Four secondary school students
from the Avon Maitland District
School Board have been named
district recipients of the 2000 Mari
on Drysdale Awards.
Tammy Walker of Blyth and a
student at Central Huron Secondary
School, Clinton, wrote an essay
entitled A Peaceful Culture: A Bal
anced Sculpture. She wrote about
her belief that “the future rests on
society’s children. They are shaped
at an early age by many influences.
Two of the biggest sculptors of a
child’s behaviour are school and
the media. (They) act like artists
gouging away at the same piece of
stone unaware of the other’s
design. One day, it may be possible
to chisel a dove from the violence-
filled rock of society.”
Other winners include Elizabeth
Oreona Bruce of F.E. Madill Sec
ondary School in Wingham, Robyn
Hastie and Marc Delchario of
Seaforth District High School.
The Marion Drysdale Awards are
given to public secondary school
student for writing and creative
arts.
District winners advance to
regional and provincial competition
with awards announced in Febru
ary.
