THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2004. Transforming love, sermon topic On Sunday, Oct. 31 Rev. Pat Cook's message at Londesborough United Church was titled, Transforming Love. The supporting gospel reading. Luke 19: 1-10, is the story of the meeting between Jesus and Zacchaeus. The responsive psalm, Psalm 149, urges followers to give praise to God. During their time at the front, Rev. Pat and the children had a discussion about climbing trees. From the branches of a tree, one gains a whole new perspective of the world. But tree climbing also means taking a chance. Both of those things were true for Zacchaeus. Being short, he could see better from the tree but he also could be seen better. He was spotted by Jesus and his life underwent a change. The children were encouraged to make a change in someone else's life by taking a chance and telling them about God and coming to church. Zacchaeus was an ordinary man ready for a life transformation. So were the disciples. They, too were ordinary men in whom Jesus saw the potential to accept and spread His teachings. Jesus spent a great deal of time with ordinary, common folk as He cares nothing for one's surroundings, only for us. He recognizes that it is one thing to believe in loving your neighbour, welcoming the lost and feeding the poor and quite another to embrace faith and do these things. The question was asked by Rev. Cook, • you actually practice what you preach?" God gives unconditional love because He sees the greatness in each person. A minute for missions, read that morning by Brenda Radford, told of a 24-hour fast by a group of young people in Elgin County who used the time to learn about the mission and. service fund of the United Church. The poppy was the subject of a discussion between Rev. Pat Cook and the children at Londesborough United Church on Remembrance Sunday, Nov. 7.

" Before the children went downstairs for Sunday school, a short service of remembrance was presented. Readings and candle lightings by Florence Snell, Brenda Radford and Joan Whyte were followed by the playing of The Last Post, two minutes of silence and meditation and Reveille.

One young man was recognized for his patience when waiting his turn to receive work or when standing in line. A teacher gave thanks for the most welcome addition of a new pupil to the classroom and school. No matter how much trouble this pupil may experience by doing so he always tells the truth and shows the peace and the singing of 0 Canada completed the morning's period of remembering. Alive in God, was the title of the message - by Rev. Cook. The responsive psalm, Psalm 145 is a psalm of praise by David. In Luke 20: 27-38, the Sadducees questioned Jesus concerning the oft married woman. Their question was based on the world known to them. Jesus' answer was based on the age to come, a whole new life. Rev. Cook noted that those who went off to war left for an unknown and only those who served understand the realities of war. Those veterans, and Rev. Cook, state that war is never really over until the world leaves those bitter memories behind, until all is forgiven. To reach the fullness of life, Christians must virtue of honesty. Determination was noted in a young girl who is always determined to do her best in every assignment. The virtues being given emphasis in November are responsibility, loyalty, helpfulness, tact and respect.

Mrs. Gilroy's class brought in the most orders and they will have an ice- cream party as reward for their hard work.

To celebrate her retirement Marie- -was presented with a tree planted in the school yard and a gift certificate for a tree to plant in her own yard. A coffee social followed the ceremony giving staff and students an opportunity to congratulate Mrs. Black. On Oct. 29, the gymnasium was filled with creatures of all kinds as the children held their Halloween costume parade. One can only imagine the excitement in the air and the imaginative outfits. . Following the parade, the Grades 7s and 8s had a spooky Halloween dance.
