(Shawn Loughlin photo) FROM AUBURN WI meets for season The Auburn Women's Institute celebrated Christmas- Dec. 14 at the Community Hall. President Erma Cartwright welcomed all and Pastor Dave Wood said grace. A potluck dinner was enjoyed. Lots of decorations and poinsettias made the room very attractive. Pastor Wood gave the Christmas thoughts and message. He was thanked and given a poinsettia. All joined in a sing-song of carols. For roll call some members brought friends, some gave readings, jokes, music and some paid. All joined in the gift exchange and some exchanged cookies. The next meeting will be Jan. 18 with Marg Fraser and Betty Archambault in charge of crafts. The roll call is bring a craft you made. Repent, rejoice, sermon topic Continued from page 16 most love around the world with his many good deeds. Santa left his usual gift for the Christ child, a list of everyone who had been good throughout the year. Rev. Cook's message to the adults was titled, Repent and Rejoice. In Paul's Letter to the Phillipians, he encouraged them to talk with God and receive His peace and comfort. Luke 3: 7-18 is an account of John the Baptist teaching and baptizing multitudes of people in the wilderness. John the Baptist was not the messiah the world had been awaiting, but folks flocked to him for leading. His message to them and to us is to look at life in a changed way. The new outlook will change our hearts, attitudes and actions. The new outlook will bring joy to life. John's lesson was three-fold. First, one must realize no one inherits Christianity. Each must commit individually. Secondly a repented life is simple, quiet and practical as in the ways of MOther Teresa. Simple acts are possible in every day living. John was afraid people would/will miss the real Saviour. Christians all have bridges to cross when change is necessary. The morning service on Dec. 24 will be a joint service at Knox United in Auburn at 9:30 a.m. The Christmas Eve service at Londesborough United will begin at 7 p.m. Rev. Cook has special services planned for both times. The offering collected on Christmas Eve will be donated to the Mission and Service fund unless otherwise indicated on the envelope. The weather has been extra nice for getting around. And I do know everyone out there is getting around as every time I am looking for a parking spot, everyone from the country has been getting around and got there first. It better not be the same when I go for the last drumstick — or worse yet, the last piece of pumpkin pie. Proud new grandparents, Allan and Karen Webster of the Auburn area called to report daughter Janice and husband Clint Bryant of Shelburne have twins. Born in Toronto, Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto on Dec. 14,_ Madison weighed in at 4 lbs. 13 oz. and sister Meadow weighed in at 2 lbs. 13 oz. Both are healthy, and are all ready in love with big brother Cayden who is helping with farm chores near Auburn, and visiting Uncle Kevin and Aunt Zoe in Toronto. I would like to invite friends, neighbours and those friends we haven't met yet, to our home (37229 Dungannon Rd. - just east of Dungannon), for my answer to an open house; mine is more of an open kitchen, Dec. 28 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. I trust we can find a glass of apple cider and maybe even a dry biscuit to serve up. Until then, have a wonderful Christmas. Please keep our service people in your thoughts and prayers. And don't drink and drive — my kids are using the roads, too. Now get out there and show that turkey who's boss! Classified advertisements published in The Citizen are now available on our website at www.northhuron.on.ca
