All reports showed a marked increase in interest and participation for the year. The Sunday School, children and youth groups not only showed an increase, but that they were very much alive in the congregation in their programming and at- tendance. The stewardship division showed one of the largest years in givings to the church and the marked increase in attendance at worship and participation. The United Church Women reported an excellent year with one of their special projects being the purchase of a Braile Hymn Book for Nothing helps adult education like children.

Hensall United church A lovely old anthem by Samuel Sebastian Welsey was sung with solos by Mrs. Gail Shaw and Mrs. Marguerite McLeod to set the atmosphere for the service at Hensall United Church on Sunday which was conducted by Rev. McDonald. A full choir of 15 voices led by director and organist Dr. Ralph Topp, also sang during the of- fertory. The fourth sermon on the Lord's prayer was the message of the service. Rev. McDonald pointed out that forgiving and forgetting is about the hardest thing in life and the difficulty was illustrated by God when He gave His Son, a hard thing for Him to do. Forgiving is loving without conditions, is positive, constructive, creative and redeeming. The Children's story was about a yardstick which told the truth. The Bible is the yardstick in life. Greeting at the door was Mrs. Janis Bisback and ushers were Scott Jesney and Jeff Corbett. Flowers on either side of the pews were in loving memory of Barbara Keller, placed there by her family and in memory of Victor Fox, a friend of Rev. McDonald.
