On Nov. 14 Gerritt and Reino Wilts said farewell to Londesborough and took up residence in the town of Exeter. After 22 years in the village, this move south brings them closer to Claiming Our Identity was the title of Rev. Cook's message at Londesborough United Church on Sunday, Jan. 11. During their time at the front, the boys and girls made an examination of their fingertips and talked about fingerprints. They discussed how all persons, past, present or future have fingerprints different from anyone else's. God has made everyone unique or special, said Rev. Pat. Just as fingerprints are different, there are other things about each person that are special. Rev. Pat encouraged the young folk to look for the gifts from God and the specialness in themselves and in those around them and to share those special gifts God gave each. The hymn, I was There to Hear Your Borning Cry, tells of God's promise to help all persons in their life stages/changes. The senior choir sang the hymn as their anthem to introduce the congregation to it. Later in the service, that hymn was sung by all in keeping with Rev. Cook's theme of reaffirming our relationship with God. The Old Testament reading, Isaiah 43: 1-7, speaks of God's promise to always be with His people because they are His. Psalm 29, read responsively, speaks of the blessings God has for His people. The sharing of love between humans is varied and unique to those their children. Reino has found employfrient in the Exeter area while Gerritt is a house husband due to his physical restrictions. Although the community was sorry to see them leave, we wish them well in their new situation. So, we welcome newcomers to the former Wilts home, John and Nikki Bernier and their seven-month-old daughter, Emma. John and Nikki are both employed at Cap Products of Canada in Vanastra, a pipe-fitting manufacturing plant. John grew up in Clinton while Nikki is formerly Nikki Shean from Mitchell. They are quite enjoying the quietness of village life having particular individuals. The love shared with God is also unique and special. Luke 3: 15-17, 21-22 is an account of the baptism by John the Baptist of Jesus. Through His baptism, Christ was claiming His identity and beginning His ministry. Through baptism, Christians are summoned to a life of service for God. It is a celebration of God's love for each of us. God gives each one special gifts and talents and Rev. Cook encouraged those worshippers present to grow into the uniqueness of their lives in God/faith. sold their former home on Princess Street south in Clinton. Although John and Nikki have not made many acquaintances in Londesborough yet they look forward to doing so come spring when people are outdoors more. I trust you will make them feel welcome. It's great to have another young family in our midst. Former village resident Beth Knox is having a winter sojourn at the Queensway Home in Hensall.
