Upholsterers enjoy hamlet’s quieter pace FROM LONDESBORO UCW leads morning service at United Morning worship at Londesboro United Church on Sunday, July 30 was conducted by women of the con­ gregation. Greeting church goers were Dorothy Johnston and Deb Stephenson. Ushering were Reta Kelland and Betty Dale. Youngsters present for the chil­ dren’s time were treated to a lovely story, Dear Children of the Earth, read to them by Elizabeth MacGregor. In the book, Mother Earth, the planet speaks to the chil­ dren on earth. She tells them all aspects of life on earth are kin-ani­ mals, plants, birds and humans. She had concern for the hurts done to her children and the earth, sky,and seas. Mother Earth asked for love and pro­ tection so everything on earth would be safe again. Laurel Mitchell and her daughters were in charge of junior congrega­ tion. Members of the London Conference Worship Committee developed the service, on the theme ‘Putting Out Into Deep Waters”. Taking part were Joan Whyte, Marjorie Duizer, Gail Lear, Mary East, Margaret Wright, Edyth Beacom, Anna Pollard and Brenda Radford. The scripture text for the service was Luke 5:1-11. In this passage Christ asks Peter to launch his boat again and cast the nets on the other side. The fishermen trusted him and caught many fist. The message repeated in prayers, hymns, and mediations was ‘Do not fear; have faith to put out into deep waters’. Society as a whole has changed significantly in the 75 years since the establishment of the United Church of Canada. The church finds itself now in safe, shallow waters, but discouraged by it’s ‘catch’. This service encouraged members to forget the fear of moving into unknown areas, into deeper waters and to put faith and trust in the guid­ ance of Christ. The Church must look beyond the familiar and spread God’s love to new people.

If there was a shop the house was no good,” adds Mr. Lester. The couple had gotten to the stage in life where renovating a home was not what they were looking for. When telling their agent they had decided not to move, he told them of a few more to look at. The Londesboro home was the last on his list. Now settled, the Lesters will be getting the business going, but say they have already had a considerable amount of work. “The customers have been very good,” says Mrs. Lester. “We can work at our own pace because peo­ ple here are more relaxed (about deadlines).” The Lesters deal mainly with fur­ niture and in particular, antiques. They have upholstered kneelers for churches, cushions for seats, office screens and a lot of commercial applications. They will do some touch-up work, but will not refinish furniture. They also offer in-home estimates and a free consultation. They believe it is very important for clients to select colours in the lighting of their homes to ensure the correct look. They also have a seniors’ discount. The Lesters can be contacted for an appointment by calling 523-4751. Radfords will accommodate your extra wedding guests.
