March break gave the opportunity
to many to travel and visit.
Stopping in for a visit with
mother Mary Humphries was
daughter Kim. They spent the day
together, enjoyed lunch and did a
little work.
Given the job of babysitting and
getting to know grandchildren
Alexandria and Collin Humphries
for a few days were Bill and
Marjorie Humphries. Little ones in
the house were a change and
exciting but taken in stride by all.
Our sympathies arc extended to
Gloria, Keith. Kevin and Mark
Wilbee on the passing of Gloria’s
mother. Margarite Hart. The funeral
was held on Thursday at Whitney
Ribey Funeral Home and the lunch
was served at the home of Gloria
and Keith by the ladies of the UCW
of Duff’s United Church.
Our best wishes go to Betty
McCall, who is a patient in Seaforth
hospital.
Returning from a wonderful ski
trip are Greg, Nancy, Evan and
Danielle Ducharme. They were at
Panarama, B.C. While there they
were able to have a visit with
Nancy's cousin Susan Miller.
The Walton Indians hosted their
first St. Patrick’s dance at the
Seaforth Agriplex and report a great
crowd and a good time.
We welcome Gary and Rachel
Sutcliffe’s new baby Ava home to
Moncrieff Road. She’s doing well
and all are glad to be home.
Travelling to Ottawa to the farm
show were Graeme and Michael
Craig and Neil McGavin. They had a
display for the Plowing Match to be
held near Listowel this fall. They
were away for just a few days but
had a good time.

Pethick, Kathleen Cuthill, Eric
Steinman. Sandra Welch, Carol

N. McGavin greets at Duff’s FROM WALTON
Members and friends of Duff’s
United Church were greeted by Neil
McGavin, and the strains of violin
music by Phyllis Mitchell. Palms
were given to congregation
members by Joelle, Mellissa and
Edward Glanville, to be waved
during the introit song All Glory
Laud and Honour.
The scripture reading was given
by Bonnie Glanville.
Stubear has returned from his
holiday with Meagan and Matthew
and will spend some time with Rev.
Joan Tuchlinsky. She showed the
children some pictures and asked
what they thought they were of.
Most thought a parade.
Rev. Joan told them they were
pictures of Prince Philip and Queen
Elizabeth in the parade in Kitchener
in 1973. There were crowds, police
officers and bands, and the people
waved in excitement.
The congregation wayed palms in
excitement and celebration praising
God.
The choir sang Just a Closer Walk
with Thee.
Rev. Joan delivered the second
scripture reading from Matthew on
Jesus’ ride into Jerusalem. .
Her reflection was about Jesus
entering Jerusalem in what was like
a parade - people cheering and
waving palms but within the week
all had changed. Jesus was arrested,
had an unjust trial, the people turned
on Jesus and the disciples went into
hiding.
Jesus had known his views were
challenged by the authorities and
that he would be in danger. The
disciples had felt safe with Jesus, but
where were they now? They too
were a threat to 'he authorities. Then
came Judas’s betrayal of Jesus.
Those who had cheered Jesus
