Churches need to be creative
In the fall of 2002, the moderator
of the United Church of Canada, the
Rev. Marion Pardy called on church
members to become involved in
efforts to address the growing
problem of HIV/AIDS around the
world. This campaign focuses on
education, advocacy and fundraising
and is called the Beads of Hope
Campaign.
United Churches are challenged to
find creative ways to raise funds and
awareness of this disease. Ten
strands of coloured beads are strung
on a safety pin by persons in
Zambia. The central design with the
beads is a red ribbon. In a year the
Canadian churches had raised
$800.000 through selling the pins,
having concerts. making banners,
having luncheons and selling items.
Londesborough United Church
has placed a loonie container in the
narthex as their way to raise funds
for this cause. The UCW will also be

On Sunday, Feb. 15 the

held its annual meeting following a
potluck supper. Rev. Theresa
McDonald Lee chaired the meeting
with Eleanor Stevenson doing
secretarial duties.
All the reports from the various
organizations were adopted as

recognizing this is not just a disease
that affects only Third World
countries but Canadians as well.
The senior choir sang a lively
number to rouse everyone in
attendance at an early (for
Londesborough United) service on
Sunday, Feb. 15. The anthem was
titled Hand Me Down My Trumpet.
The emphasis of the service was
The Beatitudes. Consequently,
during the children's time at the
front they and Rev. Pat Cook talked
about the phrase, "blessed are the
peacemakers for they shall be called
the sons of God". Using cutouts for
a flannelboard, the children heard
how pleased God was. with
Abraham. Abraham had done as God
asked and taken his family to a new
land.

Abraham wanted peace in the lands
and with the people.
"Blessed is the man that trusts in
the Lord," says Jeremiah 17: 5-10.
The gospel reading Luke 6: 17-26 is
Luke's account from Christ's
Sermon on the Mount of the
Beatitudes. The responsive reading
was from Psalm I.
Blessed in all Seasons was the title
of Rev. Cook's message that
morning. . She suggested that
Christians face choices all though

God versus trust in human
resources; between the immediate.

Once the winter term begins,
pupils in the elementary schools
realize it is time again to work on a
speech. There are a number of
reasons for this particular type of
project none of which are obvious to
the young people who have to
prepare one.
This January with so many storm
days, the pupils at Hullett Central
Public School certainly had extra
time to do their research and
memorizing. There was a rush
towards the end of the month for
teachers to get them all given in
class and representatives chosen to
present in the gym.
On the morning of Feb. 5,
representatives from each of the
classrooms, except kindergarten,
gave their speeches in front of
classmates, parents and judges. One
reason for speech writing is to build
confidence for the future.
I have covered the speeches now
for four years and continue to
marvel at the poise of these young
speakers. Every one of them is a
winner for just standing up there.
And each year I am amazed at the
variety of topics the children
choose.
The primary speakers can choose
to recite a favourite storybook or tell
an original story. From the seven
stories that morning, Justine Reid,
Courtney Middegaal and Kelsey
Falconer'were chosen to move on to
the next speak off. Justine retold the
Robert Munsch tale, Murmel,
Murmel, Prince in the Grass Skirt
was Courtney's choice while
Thomas's Snowsuit was told by
Kelsey Falconer.
From eight junior speakers
Heather Gibson (girls' hockey),
Manna Roy (speeches) and Robin
Kassies (bullies) were selected by
the judges Rosie Weise, Harry Lear
and Mr. Sanders to say their speech
another time.
Geoff Gibson, who amused the
audience with a speech about, and
full of Comedy; Kyle Middegaal,
who enjoyed a Vacation with Loons
and Katie McClinchey, who told
about speech writing got a chance to
speak-off with Blyth school
speakers.

She assured congregants that by
placing their loyalty in God, He will
give them good times and help them
overcome the hard times. He
promises eternal life to those who
risk all and place their trust in Him.
The senior choir will practise at 10
a.m. on Sunday. Feb. 22.
Rev. Cook will be on study leave
from Feb. 18 - 24. In case of
emergency, please contact Rev.
Ethel Miner Clare at 357-4561.
A Bible Study will begin on
Wednesday, Feb. 25 at Knox United
in Auburn at 1:30 p.m. titled. We
Were There.
The Blyth Legion sponsored the
speak-off between Hullett and Blyth
Public School on Tuesday,, Feb. 9 at
Hullett. Barb Bosnian, Pat Cook and
Brenda Radford were the judges
that morning. Each division had six
speakers. The first-place speakers
will compete again at the Clinton
Legion at the zone level on March 6.
Courtney Middegaal will be
telling the audience that day about
the Prince in the Grass Skirt. Also
recognized in the primary division
were Kelsey Falconer and Sadie
Chalmers.
A thought-provoking talk about
advertising on television from Grant
Sparling was selected as topnotch in
the junior group followed by Laura
Peach who is having difficulty
choosing a career.
Jessica Sparling told about
studying what makes a good Speech
in her first-place finish. Also
receiving acknowledgement for
great speech presentation were
Geoff Gibson, and Corine Falconer.
Grade 6/7 pupils welcomed their
teacher, Julie Gilroy, back to their
FROV LONDESBORO
classroom last week. Mrs. Gilroy,
who lives in Goderich, had taken a
leave of absence when she learned
of the death of her brother, Larry
Janie. Janie, from Leamington, was
one of the hunters aboard the plane
which crashed off Point Pelee. Mrs.
Gilroy can be assured the prayers of
the community are with her as she
comes to terms with this sorrow.
Speaking of winners
Students from Blyth Public School and Hullett Central
Public School competed on Feb. 10 for first place and a
chance to join others in a public speaking competition at the
Clinton Legion on March 6. Left; Jessica Sparling from Blyth
was the winner in the intermediate division speaking about
Quality of Good Food, Courtney Middegaal of Hullett was
the winner in the primary division, telling the story of the
Prince in the Grass Skirt and Grant Sparling, also from
