at Londesboro United
this past Sunday. Jack and
Potter were the greeters and

With the day designated as Rural
Lite Sunday Rev. Paul Ross’s service
centered around the Canadian Food
Grains Bank. The relevant scripture
passages were James 2: 14-17; Luke
24: 36-48 and Psalm 4.
Of the provinces the 14 Ontario
member groups had the largest
number of projects and acres
planted. The message pointed out
that Jesus responded to the concrete
and immediate needs of the people
He met while offering greater
renewal.
Today’s churches can make a
difference by investing with the
CFGB and feeding the world’s
hungry, Rev. Ross said.
Several area groups will again
participate in a project on the
outskirts of Londesboro. Financial
donations received May 21 will
support that local growing project.
The youth group is planning a
swim evening in Kincardine on
Friday, May 12. All family members
are welcome to attend.
The May meeting of Londesboro
UCW will be a casual gathering at 8
p.m. May 15 at the home of Brenda
Radford. Barb Hodgins will be the
guest for the evening.
Scheduling of appointments for
photos for the church directory
will start May 14 following the
service.
