PAGE 21 . 35 enjoy dinner at sucessful fundraiser The family of Doug and Rhonda McArter were greeting at Melville Presbyterian Church last Sunday. With Mary Douma as organist, Rev. Cathrine Campbell led the congregation in the Call to Worship. The responsive reading was Psalm 27, followed by the children's hymn, All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name. When the children gathered at the front of the church, Rev. Campbell talked about different types of races and how St. Paul often spoke as though he was running a race in teaching the people. Then she told them a story of a time when all the birds in the world held a contest to see who could fly the highest and Several Huron County women were nominated for their contributions to the community for the second annual Women of Distinction awards to recognize International Women's Day March 8. The awards were sponsored by Women Today of Huron. International Women's Day was established in 1977 by the United Nations. The purpose of the day is to provide an opportunity to reflect on the progress made to advance women's equality, to assess the challenges facing women in contemporary society, to consider future steps to enhance the status of women and, of course, to celebrate the gains made in these areas. "These awards are a way to recognize women for their many accomplishments and let them know they have not gone unnoticed," said thus be named king of the birds. They made many tries, with the lesser birds dropping out until only the vulture and the eagle remained in competition. Exhausted, these two made one final try then, suddenly there was a tiny sparrow flying high in the sky above them. The small bird had hitched a ride on the back of the eagle, then taken off on his own. "The sparrow had flown the highest, but the winner of the competition was the eagle. And the reason for this was that he had let the sparrow ride on his back. He had looked out for others, and that's something we're all supposed to do," said Rev. Campbell as she sent the Pam Hanington, Women Today of Huron executive director. This year's Women of Distinction award winners include: Michelle Blake for her endless energy teaching skating; Lynne Bonnett for her commitment to social justices for the community's most disadvantaged citizens; Andrea Brown for her generous spirit, willingness to help and for encouraging women and children to achieve their full potential; Julie Godwin for her dedication to the lives of people with serious mental health issues; Lucy Martin for exemplifying fellowship, education, service to the community and worship through her many volunteer activities through the Salvation Army Church; Elayne Ras for fostering in our youth the love of music, sense of accomplishment, discipline and children to their Sunday school classes. The scripture lesson of Genesis 15; Philippians 3: 12 - 4: I; and Luke 9: 28 - 36 was read by Rev. Campbell with assistance from reader Gerald Gibson. In her sermon, Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life, Rev. Campbell talked of how the snowdrops sleeping under the snow are an indicator of the future and how planning for the future brings order into lives. She referred to the Genesis scripture lesson of God's covenant with Abram when Abram was promised heirs as numerous as the stars in the sky, and was able to self-confidence; Shannon McGavin and Naomi Pelss for their care and dedication to early literacy in the Walton area as the founder and director respectively of the Walton Little School; Walton Little School staff (Naomi, Debbie, Tracy, Sandra, Jenn, Michelle and Val) for always having a friendly smile, hello, and story to share with you about your child. All of these women have contributed time, energy and expertise to their communities and families, and to the work of organizations and groups that make our communities great. Last year's Women of Distinction award recipients included Bonnie Baynham, Valerie Petrie, Elizabeth Kruspe, Polly Powell, Mary Ellen Brindley, Edna Doak, Blanche Savage, Arden Farrow and Joanne Durst. plan for his descendants. When Jesus took his disciples and went up into the mountain to pray, the transfiguration changed his appearance and his clothes became radiant white as he was joined by Elijah and the patriarch Moses. While the disciples slept, the three spoke together of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. And then the voice of God confirmed who Jesus was, and that the path he was about to take was the one ordained by God and the prophets. "At each time when there is a meeting with God, the faces of those spoken to become radiant and full of light," said Rev. Campbell. "And so we look to the light that guides us, which is Jesus". The flowers on the communion table were placed there in loving memory of Bill Shortreed by his family. The flowers in the sanctuary were placed there in loving memory of Muriel Sutton by her husband Frank Sutton. The collection was taken up this morning by Maurice Douma, Doug McCarter, Jeff Cardiff and Dave McCutcheon.

Did You Know ... Melville Moments by Gerald Gibson 1875 Dr. Ferguson: It was reported that Wm. Cameron and John Low, members of the congregation were at variance about a matter arising out of a horse trade which caused a good deal of hard feelings on both sides. Alex Stewart and Duncan McLaughlin were appointed to confer with them in order to bring about a reconciliation. The two elders met with Wm. Cameron according to appointment and heard his statement which was to the following effect: John Low had publicly, and in a very unbecoming manner, charged him with having made false representations about the horse which he (John Low) had received; he wanted Mr. Low to withdraw these statements or prove that the representations were false.
