Walkerburn quilters
Members of the Walkerburn Community Club have been
busy over the past few weeks making a quilt called Children
of Many Nations. Each embroidered block represents a
child from a different country. The quilt was made by the
club members to donate to The Quilt for Cancer auction to
be held in Stratford in November 2005. This is the seventh
quilt for these members. The Walkerburn Club has been
lending a helping hand to others for over 85 years and it is
still the club’s mission to raise money or lend a helping hand
where help is needed. Members clockwise from left:
Jacquie McKee, Vera Penfound, Deanna Snell, Audrey
Boonstoppel, Betty Archambault and Bernice Norman.
Absent are Pat Hunking, Eileen McClinchey, Christena
Gross, Ila Cunningham and Ethel Ball. (Jim Brown photo)

Permit

with
education
By Pauline Kerr
Wingham Advance Tinies
People interested in getting a
building permit for a pool (or to be
more precise, fencing to go around
the pool) will get educational mate
rial along with their permit.
North Huron council has passed a
motion to purchase the material, and
make resulting changes to the build
ing permit fee structure. The pur
pose of the material is to increase
the public's awareness of safety
issues.
The material from the Lifesaving
Society includes a video entitled
Within Arms Reach and a brochure
entitled "Backyard Pool Safety
Guidelines.
Skates stolen
On Jan. 22 at 5:15 p.m. two
youths reported the theft of their
hockey equipment from the side of
the road in Morris-Turnbcrry.
The youths had attended a farm at
the intersection of Morris Road and
Martin Line and used a pond to play
some hockey.
They then left their hockey
equipment on the side of the road
while they walked to a nearby farm,
returning within minutes.
Stolen were two pairs of hockey
skates both black Bauer sizes 8/9
and 9/10, two hockey sticks, a red
Easton Cyclone, and a red Nike.
The value of the hockey equipment
is $550.
If you have information about
this incident contact the local OPP

The Christian church has entered
the season of Epiphany, the season
of light. Rev. Pat Cook’s service at
Londesborough United Church on
Sunday. Jan. 23 wa titled. Follow
the Light.
Doug and Florence Snell greeted
churchgoers that morning and Mel
and Barb Knox did the ushering.
The members of the junior choir
began the children’s time with Rev.
Pat by singing Pass It On. This song
speaks of how just a spark can get a
fire going and just a small act can
spread God’s love. They also
favoured the congregation with an
action song. This Little Light of
Mine. The group looked quite angel
ic in their white surplices.
Rev. Pat recounted a story familiar
to many, of Winnie the Pooh and his
friends going camping. After setting
up camp, the friends enjoyed some
time in the warmth and light of a
campfire. Piglet was disturbed about
going to sleep as he had forgotten
his nightlight.

and they can be reassured by that
knowledge.
In the responsive psalm, Psalm
27, David recognizes that because
God is his light, he shall be afraid of
no one. Matthew 4: 12-23 speaks of
Jesus’ coming to preach as the long
promised light and tells of His
chposing His first four disciples,
fishermen in the Sea of Galilee, to
be fishers of men.
In her message to the adults Rev.
Cook spoke about repentance as a
turning around, a letting go of bur
dens; as a call or invitation.
Repentance can be the first step in a
new direction on one’s journey of
faith.
By doing some soul searching for
repenting, one needs to discover
God’s light in their life and let it
shine. Even one small act of kind
ness lets that light shine and change
how the world sees a person. As a
church, we are the light for others.
God calls all of us to share the news
and the light.

However we are nearing the end

how boring would it be without
these changes of weather and sea

Despite the stormy days and sub
zero temperatures, there have been
some crystal clear days with snow
dazzling in the sunshine. So, bundle
up and take a walk. You can drop in
tor a quick visit with a friend and
both of you will be energized and
cheered.
