THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2004. PAGE 11. Child baptized at United service Faith Addison Lockie took her first step in her journey of faith at Londesborough United Church on Sunday, Nov. 14. She was initiated into the body of Christ through the sacrament of baptism in the presence of regular churchgoers and a large number of family and friends. Her parents, Stewart and Denise (Hulley), were presented with a candle to represent the light of Christ. Assisting Rev. Pat Cook with the baptism were Marjorie Duizer Hullett Happenings Sixty years have passed since D- Day, termed the turning point for the Allies in the Second World War, and 86 years since the signing of the armistice to end the First World War. Today's youth and the greatest majority of the rest of us have no real concept of the horrors of war, the emotional toll it had on families or the difficulty the veterans faced both emotionally or physically upon their return home. Each year the pupils of Hullett Central Public School share their observance of Remembrance Day with the community. In the days leading up to that service, each classroom has discussions about the need to remember and decide how they will be a part of the service. It becomes the task of the teachers to continue to make youth appreciate the sacrifices of those who served. Hopefully the memory of being a part of the annual service of remembrance will bring each an understanding of the significance of Remembrance Day in their adult years. This year's service was held at the Londesborough United Church and led by members of the student council. Young voices of the primary choir sang See the Poppies and everyone in attendance joined to end the service with the singing of Let There Be Peace on Earth. Every classroom had a wreath they had co-operatively made. The classes offered songs, poems, stories, statements of remembrance and posters they had created. In each case they gave thanks for the sacrifices that gave them today's freedom or spoke of their pride in being Canadian. Principal Lois Tebbutt reminded the children that learning to find and and Laura Scott. Faith's aunt Debbie Hulley, read the scripture lessons for the service — Genesis I: 1-10; Titus 3: 4 and 5; and John 3: 5. The senior choir sang the anthem, All on the Altar of God. The parable of the persistent widow found in Luke 18: 1-8 was the text for Rev. Cook's message. The widow was the symbol of the poor and despairing. Jesus spoke of how her persistence in pleading to a judge eventually brought her justice and peace. practise peaceful solutions to their everyday classroom or playground problems is a way for them to remember. The world must never forget, she said, and continually campaign for peace. Paul Elgie of Goderich was the guest speaker. He asked the children to honour the fallen soldiers who gave them their freedom. Mr. Elgie's father was a dentist in both world wars and his brothers were part of the Allied Forces during the Second World War. Also, his brother, Steven, a pilot, was shot down and killed over Germany. His family certainly knows firsthand of the reality of .war. He spoke of being pleased to be present for the service to honour his family members and show his gratitude for the sacrifices of many who helped make Canada the greatest democracy in the world. He told the children about the Books of Remembrance on view to everyone in the Peace Tower in Ottawa. Like many others Mr. Elgie finds himself moved on Remembrance Day by the sound of the bugle, the sight of the stone cenotaph, the acknowledgement given to the ranks of soldiers and veterans who march and remember their fallen comrades. Peace and justice today, he said, are the result of their bravery. Rev. Pat Cook asked, "How are we as individuals in the persistence of our faith? Do we only trust in the help of God when the road is easy?" God will answer prayer as He sees the answer is right for each. Christians must look for and be open to the answers God sends to prayer. One must remain trustful of the teachings of God's love and help. As God is persistent in His love and grace we must be persistent in our faith and prayers. The youth group will meet at Vanastra Recreation Centre on Friday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. For more details call Crystal Whyte (527- 2937). Next Sunday, Nov. 21 at Londesborough United is Observer Sunday.
