Youths sing novelty songs
Muffins and coffee in the
entranceway provided by Ken and
Laura Scott were enjoyed by
church-goers at Londesboro United
Church the first Sunday of March.
John and Brenda Radford were the
greeters and ushers were Elwood
and Audrey Mitchell.
Two novelty songs were
presented by the youth choirs under
the direction of Barb Bosman. The
primary choir sang Fill in the
Blanks and the junior choir
entertained with Praise the Lord.
Rev. Paul Ross and the children
talked about the dream catcher he
had brought made by First Nations
natives. He questioned whether
they believed dreams could be
caught. Rev. Ross assured the
children they could believe in
God’s love for them.
The text for the sermon was
found in 2 Kings 2: 1-12, the
Biblical mystery of Elijah’s
ascension and the succession of
Elisha as the new prophet. Other
relevant scriptures were 2
Corinthians 4: 3-6 and Mark 9: 2-9,
another Biblical mystery, the
transfiguration of Jesus.
Seeking Confirmation was the
message title. Christians want to
believe that the Bible message is
true if not literal. When in doubt
that God is with them on their life
journey, Rev. Ross suggested they
look inward and discover times
when God has helped them find
direction. They would recognize
times when like a mentor, God has
provided support, comfort and
guidance.
The youth group will meet at the
church at 6:45 p.m. on March 9 to
go to Huronview to entertain.
UCW part of Day of Prayer
On the first Friday of March the
World Day of Prayer service is
observed by Christian groups in
more than 170 countries.
Talitha cum! Young woman,
stand up! was the theme of this
year’s service written by the
women of Indonesia.
Indonesia has a long history of
violence against women and
government oppression. The
service urged Christians around the
world to pray for them.
Taking part in the service for the
Londesboro UCW were Joan
Whyte, Gail Lear, Florence Snell,
Audrey Thompson and Lynda
Horbanuik. Chain, rope, a wicker
basket and a water jug carried in by
the women reminded the group of
conditions in Indonesia.
A dramatization of Mark 5 told
how Jarius sought out Jesus to heal

Blok co-ops
at Citizen
Pauline Blok, a student at Central
Huron Secondary School (CHSS),
Clinton, is doing a co-op term with
The Citizen.
Blok is a Grade 12 student at
CHSS, graduating this year. She
plans to take a year off school to
work, then attend college for jour
nalism or to become a radio broad
caster.
She lives just outside of Clinton.
In her spare time she enjoys a
variety of sports and other leisure
activities. Keeping fit and healthy
are important to her.
A friendly person, Blok enjoys
making people smile. “Everyone
tells me that I have a bubbly per
sonality and attitude,” she says,
“Co-oping at The Citizen is a
good experience for me as I would
someday like to pursue a career in
this field When you work for a
newspaper you would be surprised
at just how many people you get to
know and how much work goes
into it. I am really enjoying this
placement. I hope to gain experi
ence in this field so I can know
what exactly to expect and how it
works.”
