Ghost town
A winter storm Friday, Feb. 17 made for empty streets as most residents decided to stay home.
All county roads were closed due to poor driving conditions. Looks in town could be deceiving
as blowing snow came in sporadic bursts, making driving conditions unpredictable and
dangerous for most of the day. (Heather Crawford photo)
Weather affects attendance
The change to an earlier hour for
the Sunday service on Feb. 19 at
Londesborough United Church and
the uncertainty of the weather had
an effect the attendance.
With no Sunday school scheduled
for that day, only a handful of
children were present to share time
at the front with Rev. Pat Cook.
In answer to a question that is
considered correct one can reply
"yes, yeah, okay, right on, I agree."
Rev. Pat told the children that the
world, "amen", commonly used
after a hymn or a prayer, also means
"yes". Its literal meaning is "let it be
so" and it is a word used in all
religions around the world as a word
for agreement.
The senior choir sang a hymn
from the new United Church hymn
book supplement titled Deep In Our
Hearts. The responsive psalm, Psalm
This winter instead of travelling
south, Genevieve Allen travelled
west. Instead of enjoying the warmth
of Florida sunshine she is enjoying
the warmth of the socializing at
Goderich Place. If you are in
Goderich, she would surely enjoy a
visit.
41, spoke of all the circumstances
through which God will care for his
His faithful.
In Christ's time, it was believed
that an illness was the result of an
unforgiven sin and many persons
avoided ill people. However four
friends of a paralytic man were so
loving and supportive that they
lowered his bed through the roof so
he could be healed by Christ.
Obviously they felt their friend had
more to offer to the world. The
faithfulness of these friends
impressed Jesus and He healed the
man. This story is found in Mark 2:
1-12.
Faithful Friends was the title of
Rev. Cook's message. Faith is
simple and a part of every day life
The Ethel euchre was, held on
Monday, Feb. 23.
Winners were: share-the-wealth,
Beryl Smith, Helen Dobson; high,
Helen Dobson, John Subject; lone
hands, Beryl Smith, Viola Adams,
Verna Crawford; low, Marion
Harrison, Verna Crawford; lucky
tally, Adrien Verstoep, Allan Edgar,
Iola Subject, Shirley Verstoep, Keith
Turnbull, Floyd Smith.
The next euchre will be held on
Monday, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m.
for many. It is a gift of God that is as
sure as the sight of the sun in the
morning. We are called to serve
others by being faithful servants of
God and therefore servants/friends
of those around us. By being faithful
friends we show them a more
fulfilling life in God.
Londesborough United's annual
meeting will be held after the
service next Sunday, Feb. 26. The
congregation is asked to bring
potluck light lunch items to share
following the morning service.
The meeting will convene after
lunch. Your copy of the 2005 annual
report is ready for pickup on the
table in the narthex.
Also available is the ushers' and
greeters' schedule for 2006.
Speakers
advance
Hullett Central Public School
public speakers participated in a
regional speak-off sponsored by the
Blyth Royal Canadian Legion with
Blyth Public School on Wednesday,
Feb, 15 at the Hullett school. Betty
Battye, Barb Bosman and Laura
Scott had the daunting task of
deciding who would advance to the
next level of competition.
Three Hullett storytellers took the
top three spots that morning, Lexi
Aitkin, Ellie Edwards and Jordan
deBoer. Phaedra Scott, Amy Badley
and Celena Haskins were the
storytellers from the Blyth school.
Junior speeches by Courtney
Middegaal (Hullett), Kathryn Peach
(Blyth), and Kelsey Falconer
(Hullett) were judged as the top
three. Alicia Middegaal (Hullett),
Michele Studhalter (Blyth) and
Rachel Snell (Blyth) also
participated in this group.
Chosen for the top three places in
the intermediate division were
Tyson Sjaarda, Hannah Uyl and
Maaike Van Hittersum, all of Blyth.
Laura Peach of Blyth school and
Heather Gibson, Robyn Kassies and
Jasmine deBoer of Hullett also
impressed the judges with their
composure and delivery.
The Student Advisory Council is
hoping everyone will set aside time
on Friday, April 21, to take part in
Hullett's third annual Family
Carnival and Silent Auction. This
fun evening, with activities for all
ages, is a fundraiser for the council.
The monies raised buy those little
extras for the school that augment
the education of our young folk.
You can volunteer your help with
this evening or donate an article for
the auction by contacting the school
or a council member. This year the
SAC committee has chosen a
western theme, so you might want to
keep that in mind when you consider
a donation.

Club dines
at Centre
The ladies of the Cheerio Club
chose the best travel day of the week
for their meeting at the Betty
Cardno Centre in Clinton on
Wednesday, Feb. 15. Fifteen
members and one guest enjoyed a
noon meal together at the centre.
Shelley McPhee-Haist spoke to
the diners following dinner about
the services offered by the Huron
County Town and Country Support
Services. The services offered allow
seniors and disabled folk to
maintain their independence by
staying in their own home longer.
To open the business for the
Cheerio Club, Dorothy Johnston
offered a Serenity Prayer.
Roll call was answered with
humourous stories or readings.
Edythe Beacom won the gift of the
month donated by Marie Glousher
who was unable to be present
because of illness. The ladies all
signed a get-well card for Marie.
The remainder of the afternoon
was spent playing cards.
The Cheerio Club will meet again
on March 15.
