FROM LONDESBORO
‘Spoony9 leads morning service
Barb Hicks, also known as
“Spoony” from her days as director
of Camp Menesetung, led the
morning service at Londesborough
United Church on Sunday, April 17.
The theme of the service was
Ministry versus Mission. She
explained that one’s ministry in life is
tied to the people and family of one’s
church whereas mission involves
sharing one’s faith to those outside
the faith.
In Chapter 29, verses 10-14, the
prophet Jeremiah tells the Israelites
that God will keep His promise and
return them to His purpose for them.
In Luke 6: 35-38, Christ tells the
crowds that one can be the children
of the highest if one forgives and
loves one’s enemies.
During her time with the children.
Mrs. Hicks told them that each of
them has a purpose in life; that by
coming to Sunday School they will
near to feel God’s spirit and He will
show them His purpose for their life.
She spoke of how even young
children who had remembered what
their teachers had said, had helped
many others during and after the
tsunami in Southeast Asia. God had
given these children a purpose in His
plan.
Barb reminded the adults that they
are children of God and special to
Him. He has a plan'for everyone but
each has to tap into their particular
purpose and look for creative ways to
fulfill His mission of sharing faith.
Shared love can make changes for
good in others. Encouragement helps
others to recognize and share what
talents they have to offer the world.
By sharing one’s own story of life
and faith everyone of us can celebrate
another’s life story and come
together in God’s love and purpose.
Next Sunday is Camping Sunday.
Camp Menesetung has issued their
annual “wish list” and it is posted on
the bulletin boards at the church. The
camp can use a wide variety of items
and you may be able to supply one of
them. Donations can be put in the
box on the table in the narthex or by
contacting Barb Knox or Brenda
Radford. Canadian Tire money can
be placed on the offering plate any
Sunday.
The senior choir will practise at 10
a.m. on Sunday, April 24.
There is no Junior choir practice
this Wednesday, April 20.

Fun night and silent
auction huge success
Hullett’s Community Fun Night
and Silent Auction was again a huge
success. They were blessed with
such a warm evening that many
children gravitated outside to play
after they had enjoyed the magic of
“Bugsy” - Brenda Empey, face
painting, food, guessing games,
balloons and their own silent
auction.
And there was a fantastic crowd of
adults inside all evening socializing
and bidding on 265 donated items.
The wide selection of auction items
meant everyone could find
something to their liking to take
home. Some of us found more than
one. Congratulations to the SAC
committee and parents for their
efforts. It was truly a fun evening for
the school and community that
raised $9,000 for library materials.
The Londesborough Lions Club
were also kept busy Sunday morning
keeping breakfast ready at the
Community Hall for both early and
late risers.
Heard at some point during the
village’s community activities was
the news tha' two members of the
Londesborough Masonic Lodge
recently received their 50-year pin
for service: Doug Snell and Jack
Lee. Congratulations gentlemen.
Living life.
Living proof.
