Caring, theme of UCW devotional
Caring was the theme of the
devotional time at meeting of the
Londesborough UCW On Monday,
evening, Sept. 20, led by Marjorie
Duizer, Cheryl Trewartha, Betty
Hulley and Catherine Allen.
A reading titled Pennies and
Angels encouraged the women to
stop and pick up pennies on the
ground for when an angel misses
someone, they toss a penny your
way.
Rev. pm Cook spoke about
Selective Vision at the Sunday
service at Londesborough United
Church on Sept. 26.
In Luke 16: 19-31, Jesus speaks of
how a very rich man did not see
the need of a begger and did not
help him in spite of the teachings

The time has come to register
children for this season's sporting
and cultural programs.
And thanks to the efforts of a
special county organization,
children from economically
disadvantaged families in Huron
have also the opportunity to enjoy
recreational activities.
The Kids Booster Club began in
1997 by a concerned group of
citizen. It runs under the auspices of
the Huorn Perth Children's Aid
Society. Every dollar raised -goes
directly to benefit children.
Its vision - is "that every child
needs to enjoy early exposure to the
life-long benefits of the same
activities that help all of us gain
skills and achieve balance, activities
that are key to social and emotional
developemnt."
The Club, through locally-raised
funds has been sponsoring
underprivileged children, aged 16
and under, who wish to participate in
recreational programs that are
beyond the financial means of their
parents,
It has been called The Growing
Divide. In the past 15 years, the
average net worth of the country's
poorest families dropped by 51 per
cent, while the net worth of the
wealthiest rose by 42.7 per cent.
The National Longitudinal Survey
of Children and Youth showed that
48 per cent of children who
participated in recreation did well in
school, as opposed to 32 per cent
who did not participate in recreation.
It is only recently that social
service and health professionals
could determine the depth of poverty
in Huron. According to information
from the Booster Club, at least one
in 10 families has an income below
the poverty line. That number
represents 2,200 children in Huron.
Joan Van den Broeck, with
volunteer services for the Huron-
Perth CAS, said that county-wide,
the Club, as of Sept. 17, had
contributed $11,403 to register
children in programs. Eleven of
those were- from the Blyth and
Brussels area. ,
"Most of the folks who come to us
for help, hear through_ word of
mouth or are referred from various
agencies," said Van den Broeck.
Resources are matched to a wide
range of needs and interests from
kindergym/k i nderswim programs,
playgroups, sports equipment and
musical instruments to registration
and entry fees, equipment rentals or
The familiar story of the Good
Samaritan in Luke 10 reminded
everyone how caring can come from
a perfect stranger. In Matthew 10
Jesus tells that one is caring for God
when he/she cares for one in need.
The Ladder was the story of how
the reassurance of friendship and
just being present can lift the spirit
and help the healing of someone in
trouble. Life is about people
connecting with people and
ets.
Psalm 91 speaks of the security a
believer can trust from God in all
circumstances.
Oct. 3 is world-wide communion
and will be observed at
Londesborough United. Sunday
school will begin at 11 a.m. that
morning to allow the church school
music and dance lessons.
The biggest challenge facing the.
Club is raising the money. "We
know we can't meet the need, but
we're making a crack at it."
Members for the Club are needed.
It requires $500, which can be raised
any way the member wants. The
Club meets twice a year to make
decisions and keep everyone up to
remembering that even the smallest
acts can make a difference in
someone's life.
A video was viewed about the
caring folk who are a part of the
United Church's hospital visitation
in London can help those folk away
from home.
As this was the first meeting of the
UCW since June, many business
items dealt with follow up of
summer happenings and the work
teachers to partake in communion in
the sanctuary.
There will be baptism at
Londesborough United on
Thanksgiving Sunday, Oct. 10.
The board of stewards
acknowledge all who contributed in
any way to the success of their
recent pork roast supper.
date.
Several municipalities support the
program, including North Huron and
Central Huron. As well the Club is
sponsored by Canadian Tire. Many
organizations will often reduce their
registration fees, said Van den
Broeck.
"The big thing is the money. If we
had lots we would do lots."

caterings for the upcoming months
were discussed and settled. Reports
were given.
Much time that evening was spent
in discussion of the Fashion Show
Through the Years being presented
on Friday, Oct. 1. Fashions for both
sexes and all ages from tile 1880s to
the 1950s will be modelled and
music of the various eras offered as
well.
It is going to be a walk down
memory lane - bathing suits,
wedding gowns, afternoon tea attire
and gowns.
Only 250 tickets are available and
they are going quickly. One may be
disappointed and not get a ticket at
the door that evening.
