Full house attends
annual pageant
FROM LONDESBORO
Armstrongs
greet at
United
Church
While Tonya Drost offered prel
ude selections on the piano at
Londesboro United Church on Dec.
17. Ken and Marlene Armstrong
greeted churchgoers and Ed and
Mary Salverda ushered. The poin-
settias decorating the sanctuary were
donated by the UCW and
Scrimgeour’s Food Market.
The service for the third Sunday
Advent began with a carol sing. A
Babe Was Bom, a hymn anthem was
sung by the senior choir.
God so loved the world that He
gave His only Son that the world
might have everlasting life. That
love was signified by the lighting of
the third Advent candle.
Dreams were talked about during
the children’s conversation time.
They came to understand that
Joseph’s dream about the birth of the
Christ child to his wife, Mary, came
true just as the angel sent by God
had told him it would.
In the scripture passage John 1:1-
18, John states that the Word became
flesh and the world saw God’s glory
- his only reference to the nativity.
The text fpr the message
Christmas Dreams is found in
Matthew 1: 18-25 - the story of
Joseph’s dream in which he is told of
Mary’s pregnancy and receives
assurance to take her as his wife.
People of the bible believed all
dreams, simple or complex were
communications from God. The
message in Joseph’s dream was
clear.
Rev. Paul Ross’s dreams at
Christmas were clear as well. He
dreams of true and lasting peace in
the Middle East, acceptance of the
truth about global environmental
warming and an economy fuelled by
industriousness not gambling. That
all children could live without fear,
knowing they are loved and valued
in families that recognize their need
for each other were other dreams he
shared that morning. Most of all, he
dreams of the time when everyone
will come to know God as an ever
present friend.
Services will be held next Sunday
at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Huronview
'Fellowship will be held on Dec. 21
at 7 p.m.
Christmas In Song was presented
by the pupils of Hullett Central
School to a full house last Thursday
night.
From kindergarten to Grade 8
voices were raised in familiar and
not so familiar Christmas tunes
many including actions.
Other than the usual Santa suits,
costuming was mostly appropriate
and innovative headware - from
band hats, to reindeer antlers to
black hats and sunshades.
All numbers were directed by Ms
Wyatt and Valerie Van Riesen
played piano accompaniment. Two
of the numbers offered by the school
band to open the concert were Jolly
Old St. Nicholas and O Come All Ye
Faithful.
Kindergartens sang about Toys on
the Christmas Tree while Grades 1/2
and 2/3 suggested that All I Want for
Christmas is a Dinosaur.
Dealing with the Reindeer was the
tuneful tale offered by Grade 3/4.
According to Grades 4/5 and 5
Santa’s Job is a Snap probably
because he is a Cool Santa.
Streets in Dicken’s Town were
depicted on large painted posters on
the walls of the auditorium.
The operetta, The Best Christmas
Ever was staged by Grades 6, 7, 8
and like Dicken’s Christmas Carol
featured visits from Scrooge and
holidays past, present and future.
In the play within a play, the
young people not only dialogued but
sang solos, duets and choruses.
One of the main characters in a
school play was feeling inadequate
and wished to withdraw from her
role. Her nighttime visitors con
vinced her not to let down the rest of
the cast and her teachers.
In the end the play of the operetta
was a hit as was the concert at
Hullett school.
Join these same young pupils for
carol singing at the school on
Thursday and Friday mornings.
On Friday, Dec. 22 the final day of
school for this term, the pupils from
Hullett will enjoy an afternoon of
skating at Bly th arena.
As mentioned in an earlier col
umn, Hullett Central school is set
ting up a program to assist students
in the primary grades with reading
and writing skills. Volunteers are
needed for one-half day a week
from Jan. 15 to March 9. That’s just
eight weeks.
Winter arrived early this year and
by all forecasts is to be a long one.
Somewhere around the end of
January we may all be looking for
relief with some new experience.
Why not call the school now and
volunteer. A little of your time will
have positive results for the children
and who can' say how you might
benefit.
