Congregation celebrate baptism Such excitement and joy permeated the Sunday service at Londesboro United Church on Nov. 5. Even had the sun not been gloriously streaming through the windows the sanctuary would have been aglow with happiness and pride. Along with the regular churchgoers . that morning were many family members and friends present to celebrate the sacrament of baptism. Six babies, all beautifully attired in white christening outfits, were welcomed into the Londesboro church family: Brydon Thurlow, son of Ann-Marie Thurlow; Avery Wright, daughter of Kevin and Julie Wright; Kalvin Westerhout, son of Brad and Janet Westerhout; Avery Whyte, daughter of Brian and Kerri Whyte; Quinn Driscoll, son of Ben and' Crystal (Whyte) Driscoll; and Sean Whyte, son of David and Karen Whyte. With the young folk gathered at the front so they could watch the baptisms, Rev. Ross discussed the meaning and importance of the sacrament. Covenant relationships were the theme for the service and Rev. Paul Ross’s message was titled Keeping Our Word. The text for the message was PEOPLE AROUND LONDESBORO Hullett School will be observing Remembrance Day with a service at Londesboro United Church on Friday, Nov. 10.

Elections Canada has also developed ways to reach people who have difficulty reading - about one in four Canadian adults, according to studies. “Through our television and radio ads, we reach people who have trouble reading,” said Kingsley. “We also produce special audio and video materials that explain the electoral process Fft straightforward terms. The agency also produces plain-language materials, such as the popular “ Can Vote! brochure, for people who find it hard to understand our other documents.” Voting in the Internet age The internet has already become an important way of meeting the found in Samuel 16: 2-13. Because of a covenant relationship with God, FROM LONDESBORO entered into by his mother Hannah, Samuel did God’s bidding. In this Old Testament passage, God ordered Samuel to visit the family of Jesse and identify which son would become the second king of Israel.

(Vicky Bremner photo) ••••••••••••••••• For residents of Belgrave in the Humphrey subdivision, the cost of water will be going up. The rate, billed quarterly, will rise from $15 per month to $25, effective Sept. 1. In an effort to meet the new standards for water set by the provincial government, Road Super­ intendent Ralph Campbell, who also oversees the water systems, said the increase was needed. Campbell informed council that the Ontario Clean Water Agency’s estimated cost for the establish­ ment of the Belgrave Water system could cost $16,400. That cost would not cover, grass cutting, snow removal, installation and inspection of the system or non­ information needs of voters. The percentage of Canadians who have internet access is increasing rapidly. Soon, the majority of electors will be able to obtain the information they need from their computers. Against the backdrop of this rapid development, Kingsley said it is natural to think of electronic ways of voting.

As king, David entered a covenant relationship with God. The New Testament scripture, Matthew 7: 24-29 reveals that a wise man putting his faith in God is like a man building his house on a rock. That house will withstand rough times unlike the house built on sand. Covenant relationships of many kinds are entered into daily by everyone either by written contact or by a handshake or promise. Unfortunately not all are fulfilled or kept as promised. When the sacrament of baptism is performed, the parents and faith community enter into a covenant relationship. They promise God they will raise the children in the ways of the Lord. Rev. Ross prayed that the promises made that morning during baptism would be kept. Jack and Helen Lee greeted churchgoers in the narthex and received the offering along with Kim Roetcisoender and Anna Pollard. Welcome was extended to Valerie Van Riesen, as this was her first Sunday as organist/music director. The serving of coffee and muffins, provided by Barb Bosman, prior to the service truly added to the feeling of celebration and congeniality.

With 24 houses, the municipal office, arena and ball park on the system, Campbell said it is currently costing homeowners $180 per year. The cost of. new regulations could push that price to over $630 per unit, not including snow removal or grass cutting. The cost also does not include the $2,500 engineer’s report. While Gaunt said it was an issue which will have to be looked at by the new council, she said it can’t just jump to $630. Any increase should be brought in gradually. A bylaw was passed to have OCWA assume the Belgrave water system for three years and two months, beginning Nov. 1. Doing Business Without Advertising is Like Flexing Your Muscles in the Dark...
