UCW member tells of England trip
Travel was the theme for the
meditational time for the
Londesborough UCW meeting on
Monday, Jan. 16.
Laura Scott conducted a matching
game, church buildings across
Poor weather conditions may
have been responsible for a smaller
than normal turnout for the Jan. 18
gathering of the Cheerio Club. Six
members and two guests enjoyed a
noon meal at the Betty Cardno
Centre in Clinton.
Following dinner, two
representatives from Crime
Stoppers of Huron County
addressed the diners regarding
issues particularly relating to the
safety of seniors. They also showed
a video to those in attendance.
To begin the Cheerio business
meeting, Dorothy Johnston offered
a Serenity Prayer. Humourous
readings were the roll call answers.
Marie Glousher won the gift of the
month given by Betty Fisher.
Members were informed that Jack
and Phyllis (a former Cheerio
member) Potter will celebrate 50
years of marriage on Jan. 21.
Two tables of cards were played
to end the ladies' afternoon together.
They will meet again on
Wednesday, Feb. 15.
Canada with their location, which
proved interesting but frustrating.
Scripture passages from Matthew and
Mark, read by Mary Peel, spoke of
Jesus commissioning His disciples to
go out into the world to preach and
baptize. Those Bible time travellers
had the courage of their faith in God
that He would keep them safe. The
ladies sang the hymn, "One More
Step Along the Way".
A traveller, according to the
dictionary, is anyone who goes from
one place to another. A UCW
member, Kittie MacGregor, certainly
did just that, journeying to and around
Great Britain for 24 days over the
Christmas season: She, along with
husband, Don, travelled first to York
University in England to pick up their
daughter, Liz, who travelled with
them. Liz is studying there for a year.
In their rented car the threesome
travelled 1,684 miles to the
amazement of the British, who would
never consider that amount of travel.
To see Britain as the British do, to eat
the local fare and stay in unique bed
and breakfasts was what the
MacGregors planned. Local fare led
to some rather interesting meals and
new favourites.
Don, a trucker, apparently
navigated the city streets, highways
and roundabouts successfully while
Kittie and Liz snapped some 600
pictures.
Liz showed her parents the sights
around the city of York with its
narrow streets and tidy houses and the
very historic York Minster Church.
During their time in Edinburgh,
Scotland the family took tours of
Edinburgh Castle and the Scotch
Heritage Centre. Souvenirs bought
there included a wool blanket in the
MacGregor tartan and Liz's Stewart
tartan cape.
On their way to Glasgow they
stopped to tour the Wm. Wallace
monument of Braveheart fame. Two
days were spent seeing the sites of
Glasgow with a two-day bus pass.
The MacGregors have been hosts
for many Lions' Youth Exchanges and
spent Christmas with one of those
youth, Zoe, and her family in
Banbridge, Ireland. Kittie noted that
one gets a better feel for the reality of
life in a foreign country when staying
with local people. Zoe's family gave
the visitors a burled oak bowl and a
willow basket as mementos of their
visit. Kittie chose some Irish linens
and an Irish Belleck candleholder as
souvenirs as well.
A goodly number of caring
relatives and friends were on hand
for the Sunday morning service at
Londesborough United Church on
Jan. 22 to witness the baptism of
Mieka Darlene McClinchey.
This beautiful wee girl, daughter
of Greg and Julie McClinchey, slept
through the entire ceremony,
her first step on her journey of
faith.
Marjorie Duizer and Barb
Bosman assisted Rev. Pat Cook
with the laying on of hands.
A candle presented to Mieka's
parents signified a new
light in God's faith
community.
The boys and girls came to the
front of the sanctuary to witness the
baptism from a closer vantage point
before going downstairs to Sunday
Travelling back to England the trio
drove through southern Ireland and
enjoyed seeing road signs in Gaelic
and English, reminding them of the
French and English controversy at
home. New Year's was spent with
Grace, another youth exchange, and
her family in Cornwall, England.
They enjoyed a variety of traditional
English games and customs to see in
2006 with this family.
Kittie said she and Don have been
bitten by the travel bug and hope
some day to return to Great Britain.
New. president, Barb Bosman,
conducted the UCW business
meeting. Items on a wish list, mostly
for kitchen conveniences, were dealt
with along with plans for the new
year.
School.
Flowers on the memorial stand
had been placed in memory of Edith
Wright by her family. May they be
comforted by the prayers and
support of those who share their
grief.
In the responsive psalm, Psalm 62,
the psalmist David, affirms that God
is his rock and salvation.
Turn Around and Follow, was the
title for Rev. Cook's message that
morning.
The supporting scripture, Mark 1:
14-20, is the account of Jesus calling
Simon and Andrew and James and
John to be the first of His 12
disciples.
They didn't hesitate for a moment,
but left their nets and their families
and went with Christ.
This act of response was their
FROM LONDESBORO
epiphany and another example that
God calls ordinary people to do His
work.
Rev. Cook encouraged everyone to
respond to God's call for their life;
to act spontaneously when He calls
and turn around their lives to fulfill
God's task for them.
By responding to God's call we
can share our gifts and talents
and make a better world for
everyone.
Rev. Pat will be on holidays from
Jan. 28 to Feb. 5.
In the case of an emergency,
one can contact Rev.
Robin McGauley at 523-
9639.
Gloria Wilbee will conduct the
morning service on Jan. 29.
The senior choir will be in charge
of the Feb. 5 service.
