Brussels Public School Grade 4 teacher, Darrell Uhler grimaces after keeping his end of a bargain the teachers had with their students, and understandably so; Uhler, only seconds before, ate a fried worm.

The sun came out finally and gave all of us another reason to give thanks this past weekend. Travelling to be with family and celebrating this October holiday is always more enjoyable in good weather. Those gathered at Londesborough United Church on Sunday morning enjoyed the sun streaming in the sanctuary windows. The whole building has been tastefully and seasonally decorated by Jane Hoggart. The senior choir offered the anthem Sing to the Lord of Harvest. Bert Lyon shared a Minute for Missions written by a mission and service worker from the United Church of Canada. This worker noted that during his time in China he most enjoyed the singing in the churches there. The churches are simple gathering places but always crowded and full of singing. Most attendees are illiterate and the churches have no hymn books. So the hymns are taught and sung from memory. It was a treat for this person to hear the joy of faith sung there and to hear familiar songs sung in a foreign tongue. Contributions to the M and S fund help these Christian churches in China get established. There was some discussion about favourite things for which to be thankful. Rev. Pat Cook and the boys +-apd girls at the front agreed God has given them many blessings. She urged them to give thanks for all the wonderful things in their lives every day of the year. Rev. Cook reiterated the theme of bountiful blessings in life in her message to the adults as well. It is the Christian duty to be good disciples and share the news of these blessings to/with others. By listening to others' needs, being gracious, kind and merciful we share our thanksgiving. This was the message found as well in the Old Testament reading of Deuteronomy 26: 1-11 when the Israelites offered the first fruits and tithes to the temple of the first harvest in the new land. Psalm 100 was the morning's responsive reading. There will be no service at Londesborough United this coming Sunday.
