Rev. tells ‘Mother’s Story’
Larry and Cheryl Hoggart
performed the double duty of
greeting and usherifig at Londesboro
United Church on Sunday, Sept. 24.
The writer of Psalm 1, the
responsive psalm, assures the
righteous of the world that they
shall prosper for God watches
over them. In the New Testa
ment scripture passage Mark 9: 30-
37, Jesus settles the disciples’
question as to whom should be
the greatest following His
crucifixion, by taking a small child
into His arms.
The scripture passage from the Old
Testament, Exodus 2: 1-10 is the
story of how Moses as a baby was
taken from the riverside and raised
as the son of the pharaoh’s daughter.
Moses had been hidden there by his
Hebrew mother so she would not
have to drown him as ordered by the
pharaoh.
Rev. Paul Ross’s message was
titled A Mother’s Story.

Council rejects changes
The planned subdivision of Hutton
Height has hit another snag.
East Wawanosh council rejected
modifications to the draft proposal
at the Sept. 12 session.
The modifications had been made
by Morris Twp. council earlier in the
month.
Developer John Beldman, Morris
council and the county planning
department had agreed on the
modifications which would allow
Morris Twp. final say on any
development which would affect the
Johnston Drain.
Morris had appealed the proposed
development to the Ontario
Municipal Board with regards to
drainage, but that is to be withdrawn
at the October session of county
council, said Huron County planner
Brian Treble.
