Wittich leads United Church service Rev. Cecil Wittich was guest minister at Londesborough United Church on Sunday, June 19. The women's choir, accompanied by choir director. Barb Bosman, shared their musical talent that Father’s Day singing Make Me a Blessing, Through It All and Sing, My People. Areas of Indonesia were under military control when the December tsunami hit. Since that time only aid workers are allowed into those areas. Residents feel more comfortable receiving relief from outsiders than from the government workers. The Mission and Service Fund’ of the United Church in Canada are part of these relief efforts. This minute tor missions information was read by Joan Got idall. Rev Wittich reminded the young folk who gathered at the front that as children growing up they are taught to listen to and obey parents, teachers and elders. However an experience early in his ministry taught Rev. Wittich that older folks can learn from children. Setting out under uncertain skies one day he was worrying about the rain. A young boy overhearing his worry demonstrated more faith than that minister by stating. “Jesus won’t let it rain." F"......................................

Paul’s letter to the Romans, recounted in Romans 5: 1-11, reminded them that faith brings peace and strength in life. Jesus died for sinners to bring them reconciliation with God. The congregants that morning were told by Rev. Wittich that the grace of God is so amazing that it takes some time for persons to reach a true understanding of the extent of God’s grace. No one enters heaven by their works but through faith in God’s amazing grace. That grace is free to everyone through the gift of Jesus. Christians have been offered forgiveness and eternal life freely but one must be receptive to this grace.

That bright yellow cover demands attention. Quite likely everyone has taken a closer look and discovered the new playground equipment. The ball diamond technically sits on the Hullett Central Public School grounds and the Athletic Association felt that any new equipment at that site should comply with current standards for school equipment. That means no rust, no wood and no tires. The equipment which has been removed was erected in the 1970s by the Londesborough Lions Club. It was outdated and in need of repair. New equipment has been a priority of the local Athletic- Association for a number of years and the plans culminated in a modern setup this spring. Only with the help of various organizations and volunteers was the project possible. A major portion of the necessary funding - $20,000 - came from the Ontario government's Trillium Foundation under the sports and recreation sector. Proceeds from the province’s casinos make up the Trillium Foundation. However, the terms for funding made it necessary for the Athletic Association to make application through the Londesborough Lions Club. An application to the donation fund of the Municipality of Central Huron resulted in another $2,000 for the project. Since the initial discussion regarding the purchase of updated equipment, monies from ball tournaments, food sales, etc. have been earmarked for the project. All these efforts resulted in the necessary $30,000 plus that was needed. ABC Recreation of Paris, Ontario, supplied and installed the new setup which is made of coated steel and polyethylene. It is certainly attractive to the young folk. It is recommended that children from two to 12 years of age enjoy the new equipment. It is also recommended that pre-schoolers have parental supervision. The bright yellow cover offers protection from errant balls, the sun and the rain. A picnic table sits close by for the comfort of supervising parents and family picnics. It is hoped that all children in the community will find the equipment to their liking. The Athletic Association. Lions Club members and various volunteers gave countless hours to the removal of the old equipment, preparing the area for installation, laying landscape fabric and putting down pea stone. Thanks are offered by Doug and Karen Dolmage of the Athletic Association to the Lions Club for their help in bringing this project to completion and to all others who helped financially or in kind. An official opening will be held on June 27 at 1:30 p.m. and community members are invited to drop by. The Londesborough Happy Gang Seniors will hold their final gathering of the season on June 29 at 12:30 p.m. at the Community Hall.

That same day. both the Blyth rescue van and an ambulance made a stop at the home of Gordon Radford. That long spell of hot, humid weather had taken a toll on him.

At this point in development the information requested includes: name, address, phone number, email address (if applicable), and date of birth. What is a Family Health Team? A Family Health Team is an approach to primary health care that brings together different health care providers to co-ordinate the highest possible quality of care for you — the patient. It will be designed to complement professionals such as doctors, pharmacists, nurses, nurse practitioners, and more. The Huron County Family Health Team has a mandate to make primary health care available to orphan patients. Why register early?
