first Lenten
March 21
Church.
Rev. Joan
leader and
talents of Brian Black were enjoyed
by those attending. Serving lunch
were Betty McCallum, Jackie
Glanville, Mary Mann and Jo-Ann
McDonald.
On Maundy Thursday, members
gathered at Duff’s to watch The
Passion of the Christ film, a graphic
portrayal of the last days of Jesus.
There was a small gathering at the
service at 11 a.m. on Good Friday.
The Christ candle was lit during the
introit. The choir sang Am I The
One?
The passages of scripture from
Judas’s betrayal, Jesus’ arrest,
Peter’s denial, Pilate’s washing his
hands of responsibility, the
crucifixion, the death of Jesus, and
Joseph’s preparation of the body
accompanied by the women were
read and woven together by song.
Phyllis and Sean Mitchell played
The Old Rugged Cross on the
violins. Brian Black sang Thy
Rebuke Hath Broken His Heart and
Behold and See if There Be Any
Sorrow.
Graeme Craig also sang a solo
entitled Where You There? Patty
Banks sang They Crucified My
Lord, and the choir Wondrous Love.

was stripped of decorations and the
Christ candle snuffed out. A silent
departure by all followed the
blessing.

confirmands hosted a successful
Easter breakfast from 8-9 a.m. with
many families attending. Heading

were greeted by Robert, Jackie,
Joelle, Melissa and Edward
Glanville. The strains of violin
music by Phyllis Mitchell also
greeted the congregation.
The opening scripture of Jesus’
resurrection was read by Elise
Ringgenberg and the junior choir
sang Oh Happy Day.
There were lots of children for th
Time for the Young at Heart when
Rev. Joan asked the children Why
Christians celebrate Easter. They
knew it was because Jesus had risen
from the dead.
Rev. Joan also explained that
Easter is in springtime, a time of
new life, birds returning, grass
growing and plants budding. It is a
celebration of life and new creation.
“We can count on spring coming
every year, just as we can
God’s love,” she said.
She gave the children
Easter egg that held a
magnet to remind them of new life
and God’s love.
The choir sang Once Upon a Tree.
Rev. Joan’s reflection dealt with to
not be afraid. She talked about The
Rowanda massacre and the true
story of Paul, a man of extreme
courage who saved the lives of
thousands of refugees.
The.offering was collected by
Graeme Craig and Ian Wilbee. The
congregation was blessed by the
musical presentation of How Great
Thou Art by Glenda Morrison, piano
and Keith Wilbee on the saxophone.
The choir sang Alleluia followed
by the choral Amen.

Huron East man
gets big surprise
with phone bill
On March 22 at 5:30 p.m. a citizen
living on St. Michael’s Road in
Huron East reported a major
problem with his phone bill.
The man told police that he had
just received his phone bill and
noticed it was well over $2,000.
Between Feb. 19 - 24, 99 phone
calls were made to Niev, New
Zealand costing him $2,400.
The 47-year-old man has learned
that computer hackers had
infiltrated his computer gaining
access to his phone lines thus
making the calls. Police warn people
to protect themselves and when not
using the computer turn the unit off
so no roaming hackers can access
your internet phone lines.
If you know something about this
incident or can help solve this case
call the Huron OPP or Crime
Stoppers.
