United Church met for their meeting
on Monday, Feb. 21. Their evening
began with dessert.

Kittie MacGregor and Mary Peel.
Their hymns and scripture readings

hope can be found when one trusts in
the love and goodness of God.
Supporting scriptures were Psalm 5
and Matthew 7: 21-27.

Van Amersfoort of Blyth who
showed slides and spoke about her
recent trip to Haiti. She was part of a
group of 56 volunteers from across

were doing mission work for
Mission to Haiti. For two weeks they
went out from the base. Camp
Peniel, to offer medical and dental
help, food supplies of rice and beans
and to build houses, schools,
protective walls and other
construction projects. They believe
that even their small attempts to help
in the poor areas of Haiti will
eventually work to change
conditions for future generations of
this poor nation.
During the business meeting the
group agreed to look after a variety
of monetary items that will help the
finances of the official board of the
church. Crystal Whyte gave a report
for the group looking into the
publ.cation of a UCW cookbook.
They hope persons in the church and
community will submit favourite
recipes before April 18. It is hoped
the books will be ready for sale by
October.

Scout leader Laverne Clark talked
with the children who gathered for
their lime at the front. He showed
them a walking stick and told them
stories about his grandmother
needing one for getting about in her
home. His grandfather had needed a

on the leg to get his/her attention.
Mr. Clark also demonstrated how
a shepherd would use a staff to bring
sheep back to the flock.
Lastly the children were shown
Laverne’s hiking staff with

stick in hand for support and of all
the wonderful experiences hiking
had given him.

Testament passage, Exodus 17: 1-7.
These verses tell the story of Moses
who, when he struck a rock brought
forth water for the people to drink.
In Psalm 95, the people of David are
urged to praise God. This responsive
psalm was led by Ashley Cartwright.
As our bodies like those of the
Israelites need water, our spirits need
refreshments. Spiritual Refreshment
was the title of Rev. Pat Cook’s
message. Jesus offered spiritual
refreshment or living water to the
women at the well recorded in John
4: 5-42. Rev. Pat told this story by
