Minister uses summer sport as theme of sermon
Rev. Paul Ross three golf balls were
rolled along the aisles. The balls all
looked the same. But, because one
ball had a weight inside, they rolled
differently.
People, he said, look relatively the
same but are different in many ways
as well. With people, one must not
judge by appearances alone.
Mary Ann and Tonya Drost were
in charge of junior congregation.
In Psalm 13, David laments that he
has not felt God’s closeness in the
face of his enemies. He fears God
has forgotten him. Luke 22: 14-23 is

a version of The Last Supper with
the disciples during the Passover
Festival. .Passover celebrates the
release of the Israelites by God from
slavery in Egypt - proof God had not
forgotten them. In this passage
Christ gave new meaning to the reli
gious feast.
The message title was Not
Forgotten. Rev. Ross pointed out that
the names of some former tourna
ment golfers are always remembered
while others slip from memory.
People are able to recall details of
some histoneal events while some
are lost over time. Selective family
events and persons can forever be
recalled and some forgotten.
Historians, markers, storytellers
serve as reminders.
Christ, too, feared He would be
forgotten by His disciples and
friends.
Hazel Watkins and Beth Knox
greeted churchgoers. Ushering were
Mary East and Marie Bromley.

The Londesboro community was
saddened to hear of the passing of
Clare Vincent on Sunday, Aug. 20.
Condolences are expressed to his
family by the villagers.
Clare left the family farm in East
Wawanosh to enlist in the Second
World War. Following his tour of
duty he spent some time in
Kitchener where he met his wife,
Ruth Capling. Following their mar
riage in May of 1946, Clare and
Ruth took up residence just west of
Londesboro. Their farm is now
owned by Gerry and Gladys
Greydanus.
Interested in pursuing other inter
ests, Clare gave up in farming and
became clerk/treasurer for Hullett
Twp. in 1967. The family built a
new house in the village, now
owned by Tim Elliott and Jennifer
Szusz. Clare was the last Hullett
clerk to maintain the township office
from his home.
Clare was always community-
minded and involved in a variety of
organizations and groups. Since his
retirement Clare enjoyed wood
working and was knovn to spend
many hours in the shed behind the
house working on projects. For
many years his table at the
Threshermen’s Reunion was a
showcase for his bowls, puzzles,
quilt racks, etc. Often his items
became cherished family gifts
and/or door prizes at social func
tions.
On Clare’s daily trips across the
the comer for the mail or to join the
coffee crowd, villagers got to enjoy
his humour and snappy one-liners.
He showed great interest in the
activities of his grandchildren.
The couple travelled west several
times to visit their daughter, Elaine,
and their son, Donald and his fami
ly-
Clare spent time on son Bill's
farm, helping out and just two weeks
before his death was there to split
wood.
Although Clare and Ruth moved
to an apartment in Goderich in 1998,
they returned to events here fre
quently. We all felt they were still a
part of our community. His presence
will be missed.
A private memorial service will be
held Saturday, Sept. 2.
