Responsive reading begins Knox service
The morning service on Dec. 3 at
Knox United Church began with
responsive reading regarding prepar
ing for the Lord’s coming.
Nancy Park was organist. Rev.
Paul Ross welcomed all and brought
attention to events past and future.
With the singing of What Child Is
This, the children and congregation
presented their offerings for the
white gifts. Rev. Ross then spoke to
the children about hockey, which a
good number were acquainted with
and enjoyed. He told them how
important it was for players to follow
the game’s rules and also for them to
follow God’s laws.
Rev. Ross spoke on Malachi 3
where he gave God’s words to his
people saying that the Lord would
come and witness those who did and
those who did not obey his laws and
that in the future the flowers would
be blessed.
He continued from Luke 3.
Rev. Ross’s sermon was Turnabout
Strategies for the church. “We in
Canada are very fortunate but there
are a number whom need help,” he
said. There are far more poor chil
dren who lack sufficient food and
suitable clothing and parents without
money to buy food and pay rent.
Unfortunately these things are hap
pening far more than people realize
and are also much closer to home.
People must listen to Rev. Susan
Eagle, David Suzuki and former
moderator, the very Rev. Bill Phipps.
They all say we must act.
Rev. Ross suggested that members
speak and write to let the govern
ment and churches proper know that
help must be given to those in need
here, and throughout this country
and the world.
Offering was received by the P.
Cronin family.

Silver Tops
enjoy
Christmas
feast
On Nov. 29 at 12:30 p.m. the
Silver Tops enjoyed their Christmas
dinner as guests at Maxine and Bill
Seers’ home. Grace was said by
Elliott Lapp, then a three course
meal was served by Maxine and her
daughter, Carol.
At the close of the meal Ethel Ball
and Tina Empey asked some ques
tions and the one answering correct
ly had the choice of numerous gifts
for Christmas.
Margaret Hildebrand gave a read
ing, then all retired to the living
room.
Marion Haggitt gave a reading
followed by Lois Haines speaking
of The Little House out Behind.
Both brought laughter.
A video of Margaret and John
Hildebrand’s, the singing of a little
Welsh girl, was played. Her name is
Charlotte Church and she is 14 years
old. She has a beautiful voice and
soars to high C like an angel. We
were simply thrilled with her music.
Brussels seeks
extension
of landfill
agreement
By Bonnie Gropp
Citizen staff
With no Ministry approval for
Brussels garbage to go to Exeter,
Brussels council is looking for an
extension of their agreement with
Morris Twp to June 1.
Clerk-Treasurer Donna White told
councillors Monday night that the
most sensible alternative would seem
to be that Morris continue to have
Brussels on its certificate of agree
ment which would also allow for
Tumberry waste to come in to the
landfill without a “full blown assess
ment,” she said. “Plus it gives us
time.”
A letter asking for an extension
until June 1 under the current terms
was faxed to Morris council which
was also meeting Monday night.
White also told the bag tag recon
ciliation which showed 3,691 bag
tags on hand and revenue of $ 19,924.
Should Morris agree to the exten
sion, the bag tags will continue. The
public will be notified when a
change occurs as to what happens to
any leftover tags, White said.
The Walkerbum club held its Nov.
27 meeting at Ila Cunningham’s
home, with a good attendance.
Christine Gross showed a booklet of
The Night Before Christmas which
she had made using received
Christmas cards appropriate to the
verse.
The meeting opened with a verse
by Vera Penfound. Roll call was
answered with gifts for the Salvation
Army and nursing homes. A number
of Christmas cards for ill, elderly and
old friends were signed by everyone.
Plans were made for gifts, flowers,
etc. for the season.
Vera showed a box of beautiful lap
rugs made by Grace Cartwright of
Auburn. She makes them for the club
to give to people who can use and
enjoy their comfort.
There is a quilt top stifl to be made
and plans were made for a handiwork
animal one. It was decided that mem
bers were to bring their embroidery
Boss, needle and scissors to work at
their block at the next meeting which
will be at Vera Penfound’s home.
The WI Christmas dinner will be
at Auburn on Dec. 14.
There was a meeting of the hall
board at Auburn on Nov. 29. It was
decided that there is no particular
change in the board’s duties.
Another super pancake breakfast,
or dinner, was held Sunday morning
by the Lions and enjoyed by young
and old.
The Christmas meeting of the
Knox UCW will be at Maxine Seers’
home at 8 p.m. on Dec. 11.
On Dec. 17 there will be a lunch
eon following church service.
Proceeds will go for Sunday School
expense at Knox United. The com
munity is pleased to hear that Mrs.
Martha Daer has improved and will
be leaving Clinton Public Hospital to
return to Goderich Place soon.

reflect
on war
The Women’s Guild of Melville
Presbyterian Church met in the
Church parlour on Tuesday, Nov. 28
at 8 p.m. Alice Marks and Mary
Huether were in charge of the meet
ing.
Mrs. Marks opened with a poem
on Remembrance Day followed by
singing Onward Christian Soldiers.
The scripture reading taken from
Hebrews 9: 20-28 was read in uni
son followed by prayer. Mrs. Marks
read Why Wear a Poppy, Take Two
Minutes to say Thank You and A
Man We Never Knew.
Mary Huether gave a topic on
Remembrance Day. Remembrance
Day is a time to think about how
lucky Canadians are. “Think of the
114,000 Canadians who died to pre
serve our ideals and values, and give
us the opportunity to work together
for a better future,” she said.
Remembrance Day is a good time to
consider whether people are making
the best of the chances given them.
In 1999 the Poppy Remembrance
Campaign distributed 15 million
poppies.
Everyone repeated the poem In
Flanders Fields and Mrs. Huether
handed out bookmarks compliments
of the Brussels Legion.
Jeanne Ireland reviewed the list of
names for people to receive a poin
settia for Christmas. A large poinset
tia will be given to HuronJea. Jean
Bewley offered to help deliver the
plants.
Melville church is responsible for
the World Day of Prayer on March
2, 2001. Plans will be made at a later
date.
Dona Knight offered to host the
Christmas meeting on Dec. 19 with
everyone contributing to the pro
gram and lunch. Each member is to
bring a gift with a value of approxi
mately $3.
