The Citizen, 2005-09-08, Page 8PAGE 8. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2005. PEOPLE AROUND LONDESBORO By BRENDA RADFORD Call 523-4296 Hard to believe that we have now turned the calendar page to September. As a summer lover I am not looking forward to the cold and snow which is only weeks away. It was the sound of that first cricket in my garage that warned me of the approaching season change. What a glorious Labour Day weekend we have just been treated io as well. We can expect summer weather this coming weekend also, lor the Thresher Reunion has never had poor weather. (I hope I have not jinxed them by saying that). With the turning of the calendar page the fall activities and meetings resume. This year’s president for the Londesborough Happy Gang Seniors, Phyllis Tyndall, reminds members of the group of their first meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 28. The gathering begins with potluck at 12:30 p.m. New members are always welcome. If you are considering joining the group you might give Phyllis a call. School is in session again and now that Hullett Central is giving the concept of balanced school days a try, I will miss the sound of the children in the schoolyard as I enjoy my lunch. There is nothing so constant in life as change and this idea is a real change for the school day. Teachers seem to feel that the benefits of this timetabling change outweigh the difficulties that may initially be encountered. Can it be that those markings along the east side of London Road from Bert and Joanne Lyon’s corner to the post office are for new sidewalks? Admittedly the sidewalks in that area are in need of repair/replacement, but other areas of the village are crying for sidewalks so our children can safely make their way to and from school. Hopefully the municipality has those streets in the plans too. The Londesborough Men’s Bowling League begins their new season on Thursday, Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. They roll at the Clinton Crown Lanes and need new bowlers. If you are interested in joining this men’s . league, show up that evening or call a present bowler. Jewitts usher at United Church Greeting at Londesborough United Church on Sunday. Sept. 4 were Harris and Brenda Snell. John and Barb Jewitt received the morning offering and ushered churchgoers. Coffee and muffins were offered before the service by Barb Bosman. During the children’s time Rev. Pat Cook spoke about the similarities between home life and a Matthew 18: to heal a rift yourself and relationship. Sunday morning service. At home there is a routine to the days and we are aware that everyone there loves us. At church a prepared order of service gives routine to the worship with hymns, prayers, scriptures and a message. And it is true that we know everyone in the church family loves us. The gospel reading, 15-20, speaks of how between a friend and renew and refresh a This passage is an expression of the Golden Rule. Jesus increased His circle to include all, even the tax collectors and Gentiles of His day. Psalm 149, the responsive psalm, speaks of worshipping and praising the Lord wherever believers gather. Those scriptures and Rev. Cook’s message talked of a real spirit of sharing so everyone can get along in peace and harmony whether countries, families, community or church. God encourages us to share another’s good qualities with them. Remembering, acknowledging and forgiving each other makes the circle of love wider. God calls us to be the person. He wants us to be and to help others reach their potential as well. Barb Bosman reinforced Rev. 7 tables in play at Cranbrook euchre Cook’s message with her solo, Draw the Circle Wide.
