United Church minister. Rev. Pat
Cook told the boys and girls about
all the special names there were for
Sunday, Nov. 20.
Because it was Observer Sunday,
she showed them articles from
recent editions of that magazine
about the work of the United Church
around the world, some of which
focused on the activities of
children.
The church calendar called
Sunday, Children’s Day, and they
talked together about how Jesus is
their example of how children can
help in the world.
As well, Sunday was Reign of
Christ Sunday which means it was
the last Sunday in the liturgical
calendar yea?, and the last Sunday
the gospel reading will be from
Matthew. With the beginning of
Advent, the gospel of Mark will
have precedence in the next
year.
In the responsive psalm. Psalm 95,
the writer gives praise to God calling
Him a great God above all
others.
The gospel reading, Matthew 25:
31-46, is the story of the final
judgement day and was the
supporting scripture for Rev. Cook’s
message, In Tune With God.
On the final judgement day, God
will consider the gifts or talents each
has received and what was done with
His gifts. Being at the close of a
liturgical year is a good time to
reflect on what Jesus means to each
of us, to get in tune with Christ and
our faith.
Rev. Cook used the analogy of an
orchestra getting tuned for a
performance. All need to tune their
instrument, their lives and bring
them in tune with their conductor,
Christ.
The passage from Matthew states
that if a person helps those who are
considered to be the least in life,
Jesus has been helped. It is on how
one shares what they have in helping
'others that they will be judged by
Jesus. By reaching out to others, one
reaches out to God.
This coming Sunday is the first
Sunday of Advent and
Londesborough United will
observe the sacrament of holy
communion.
The Sunday school invites
everyone to join them for their
annual white gift service on Sunday,
Dec. 4. Congregants are asked to
bring a gift for the Huron County
Christmas Bureau wrapped in white
paper.
A time of fellowship will follow
the service. You are asked to bring
along finger food to share -
sandwiches, crackers, squares,
etc.
Looking for Christmas help? The
UCW can help with almond bark,
stockings and cookbooks
for entertaining, decorating or
giving.

A tabletop emergency exercise
was held at Morris-Turnberry,
Wednesday, Nov. 16.
The concept of the exercise, led by
Morris-Turnberry clerk
administrator Nancy Michie, was to
conduct a tabletop exercise based on
an ice storm in the municipality,
causing a threat to life, property and
the environment.
The community operations control
group, evaluators (community
emergency management co
ordinators from Goderich, Central
Huron, North Huron and Huron
East), and one support staff member
were present at the exercise.

There were opportunities for
debriefing and feed back from the
evaluators to learn from the
experiences.
The emergency exercise came
about when the Emergency
Management Act became law in
Ontario on April 15, 2003. Program
standards issued by Emergency
Management Ontario require the
municipality to reach the ‘enhanced
level’ of preparedness in 2005.
One of these requirements was for
the municipality to conduct a hazard
identification and risk assessment.
The community emergency planning
committee has determined that
winter storms are one of the risks
of the Morris-Turnberry commun
ity.
