F. Hersey Greeting at Melville Presbyterian Church last Sunday morning were Ross and Anna Cunningham. Rev. Cathrine Campbell was back from her study leave. Crystal McLellan was organist for the service. Following the congregational welcome, Psalm 37: 1 - 11 was read responsively. The children's hymn, God who Made the Earth, was sung and Janna Dodds moved to the front of the church to talk to the children. Her theme was forgiveness, and her story was of Joseph with his many coloured coat, sold into slavery in Egypt by his brothers. When years later the brothers came to Egypt in the time of famine as men from Canaan and begged for food from Joseph whom they did not recognize, he was able to forgive them and reconcile with his family. Thus. she said, God shows an example of how to live with forgiveness instead of retaliation. The scripture was Genesis 45: 1 - 15; 1 Corinthians 15: 35 - 49; Luke 6: 27 - 38 and Rev. Campbell read the lesson with assistance from Cliff Coultes. In the sermon, There is a Plan, Rev. Campbell talked about Joseph being sold into slavery in Egypt by his jealous brothers, and how, while his life turned out very differently than he could have imagined, was placed in Egypt in control of the food supply when the sons of Jacob arrived to ask for help. When Joseph told them who he was and forgave them. he said that even though they had intended to harm him. God had intended him to be there to do good "God has a greater plan than we have, and we are part of it," said Rev. Campbell. Rev. Campbell talked of her trip and her experiences during her study When a person is affected by Alzheimer's disease or another dementia, they often experience isolation. This isolation is in part due to the person's inability to remember who the important people in their lives are (e.g. family, friends) and their visits. To assist in decreasing the feelings of loneliness, the Alzheimer Society of Huron County developed its Cuddle Bear program. This program was spearheaded by Willa Rivett and the late Barb Shewfelt, both of Goderich. These former board members -of the society initiated the making of teddy bears after learning of the project. Each Cuddle Bear is handknit by one of 30 volunteers from Huron County. Teddy bears are donated to persons with Alzheimer's Disease or another dementia who are living in long term care facilities or have an extended stay in hospital in Huron County. Two of these knitting volunteers are Joyce Shack of Goderich and her mother, Jean Shack of London. For the past 10 years, Joyce and Jean have dedicated themselves to creating bears for individuals who need a constant companion that is warm, soft, and familiar. Cuddle Bears also allow opportunity for the recipient to experience both tactile and sensory stimulation. "The first bears I did were brown, but I wanted to dress them up. Being a nurse I knew that they wouldn't have time to keep track of small pieces, so I started incorporating clothing when I knit the bears," said Shack. "It was mother who first told me about the bears, and invited me to make them with her. She knits the heads, and I do the rest." Each year, the Shacks knit between 40 and 50 cuddle bears. They donate half of them to the London chapter and the other half to the Huron County Alzheimer Society. "Delivering cuddle bears is a wonderful opportunity for me," says Alexandra Beasse, public education co-ordinator at the Alzheimer Society of Huron County. "It's wonderful to see faces light up with delight when they realize the bear is just for them."
