Families tend to be the focus at
Thanksgiving and so it seemed
fitting that two families presented
their children for baptism at
Londesborough United Church on
Thanksgiving Sunday.
Hanna Rose, daughter of Steven
and Christina Duizer and and Sadie
Darlene, daughter of Al Squires and
Tammy Vincent joined the
Londesborough family of God that
The steering committee for
Habitat for Humanity Huron County
met last week in Wingham to
continue its work to bring Habitat
for Humanity to the local area.
Several lengthy meetings have
been held recently in order to put
together the governance of the
organization. In order to be a fully
recognized affiliate, the fledgling
organization must meet strict criteria
put forth by Habitat's Canadian
governing office in Waterloo.
"It's a lot of detail work to iron
out," explains Paul Dyck. "The
intent is to establish a workable
structure to ensure that this
organization is here for the long
run."
The group has drafted the bylaws
that will govern the organization.
These must now be approved by
Habitat's Waterloo head office, and
then sent on for provincial
government approval. The goal is to
be a fully approved affiliate by
February of 2005. The group also
has an ambitious goal to build their
morning.
Assisting Rev. Pat Cook with the
sacrament of baptism were Marjorie
Duizer and Barb Bosman who
presented each mother with a candle
to signify a new light in God's
world. The sanctuary was full of
regular congregants and many
friends and relatives of Hanna and
Sadie there to witness the special
event.
A wall sconce of angels was
presented to the congregation that
morning as well by Marie Bromley
in memory of her daughter, Darlene
Vincent, mother to Tammy Vincent
and grandmother of young Sadie.
The sconce has been hung on the
wall of the narthex.
Children of the Sunday school
entered the church during the first
hymn with harvest items to place on
the communion table. In the
children's time at the front, Rev. Pat
spoke of the many things for which
congregants should be thankful and
of the wonders of autumn.
The senior choir offered a Song of
Thanksgiving as anthem. Psalm 66,
the responsive psalm, is a song of
praise for all of God's blessings to
His people.
Luke 17: 11-19 was the text for
Rev. Pat's message of thanksgiving
titled, The Wonder of God. During
His time on earth, Jesus enjoyed
travelling about the small villages
and speaking with the ordinary folk.
In one such town lived 10 lepers
who knew Christ would heal them if
they could just get His attention.
When Jesus spoke to them from a
distance, they were healed. In their
excitement and joy, nine of the men
went on their way to resume their
lives. Just one man, a Samaritan,
paused to thank Christ for his
healing.
Rev. Pat posed the question, "Are
today's followers like the nine and
accept without thoughts of gifts of
God? Or like the Samaritan are they
grateful?
She challenged worshippers that
day to give thanks from deep in their
hearts for all the blessings of God.
They can show this gratitude and
repay God with good deeds and
kindness to others, sharing their
wealth and spreading His love.
Rev. Colin Swan will be the guest
speaker for Londesborough United's
anniversary service on Sunday, Oct.
24. The new addition will be
dedicated during the celebration. For
the potluck gathering following the
service the congregation is asked to
bring salad or a first-course item.
The senior choir will gather at 10

OPP officer was travelling on
Cardiff Road in Huron East when a

The officer stopped the vehicle
