Howson, Gayle Poore, Barb Bosman
and Bodie Craig sang Just a Little
Talk with Jesus.

son John 10: 7-18.
For the children’s time Rev.
Ramirez spoke about being thankful.
He used a glass and some water to
emphasize being thank“full”.
The sermon was entitled Celebrate
and Give Thanks. He told a story of
a young man, who saw an old man
planting a peach tree. He questioned
if the older man would live to enjoy
the fruit from the tree. The older man
replied that he was thankful that he
had always been able to enjoy
peaches and the tree was so that oth
ers could enjoy the fruit.
Rev. Ramirez talked about remem
bering the times that he and his fam

the church that he is now at in

time spent with the congregation
was both a privilege, as well as a
responsibility.”

KATHY’S QUOTE OF THE
WEEK: A diamond is a piece of coal
that stuck to the job.
The weekly euchre party was held
on Oct. 9 in Bainton’s Art Gallery in
Memorial Hall.
Jean Plaetzer captured the high
score for the ladies while Norm
Tumbull was the recipient for the
men. Meanwhile his wife Mary
earned the most lone hands for the
ladies and Charlie Bromley had the
most Ione hands for the men.
The low scores for the evening
went to Isabel Craig and Graeme
McDowell.
Please keep in mind that the week
ly euchre card parties are held every
Monday night at 8 p.m. in the Art
Gallery. Come out for an evening of
enjoyment and laughter. The more
the merrier.
This is an early announcement
concerning the upcoming municipal
election. Being as it is going to be
held on Nov. 13 which falls on a
Monday, euchre will not be held that
night so come out to play cards
