Ainsley Murdock brought her neighbour Gramma Freda Farrell, Grand Bend, while Bob Evans, St. Joseph, accompanied his grandson Jonathan Forrester. Area church activities Catholic Church News Father Morrissey was the celebrant at all Masses on the weekend. In his sermon, Father reprised Christ's question to Simon Peter, "Do you love me?" which goes to the very heart of the Christian faith. Christianity may be seen as an ec- clesiastical structure, 2000 years old, as a theological system that holds cer- tain basic views about God, but that is not how it began. The Christian faith began as a friendship between a Nazarene carpenter and some fishermen from Galilee, which developed into a love relationship which we continue today. Christ asks us "Do you love me?" and we must answer with our hearts. This Sunday marked the World Day of Prayer for vocations, as all Chris- tians are invited to reflect on the meaning of God's call, and to pray for vocations. The whole community shares responsibility for fostering vocations, as God calls men and women to serve Him in a special way. High school religion classes will be on Thursday night right after 7:15 p.m. Mass. In the CWL news, the ladies of Im- maculate Heart of Mary will be bowl- ing for Cancer on Wednesday. Everyone come out and raise money for fighting this dreadful disease. April 26 is the feast of Our Lady of Good Council, patroness of the CWL, so there will be a special 11 a.m. Mass, for all deceased members of the CWL from this parish. The CWL Diocesan Convention Banquet will be held in Chatham on May 7. The CWL ladies will be holding their annual Bazaar and Bake Sale this summer on August 2 in the church yard. If anyone has some ar- ticles willing to donate toward the Garage Sale, they would be greatly appreciated. A truck will be available outside the Church at each Mass next week to collect these items, or call Nancy Stokkermans al 243-2989 if you have things which need to be picked up. Church of God The Youth Group met on Wednes- day evening for Bible Study. They discussed about God still being in con- trol of world events, despite recent developments; and that they still hope in God and have faith in the future. The Adult Bible Study group began the book of Galatians, about Christian liberty. They discussed freedom in Christ and His teachings, rather than through man-made rules. On Sunday morning. Rev. Barnhart based his sermon on Psalms 139 and 8, about God's glory and man's honor. God is the powerful Creator of our Universe, yet He has given man dominion, to rule over this world. Marilyn MacGregor sang a special solo, "Because He Lives." Sunday evening marked a time of sharing. Fifteen or 20 people gathered to offer their songs, poems, inspira- tions and testimonials, for a very special, personal service. They were led by George Winegarden. Bible Study Prayer and a hymnsing preceded the weekly Bible study at Sauble Court, with 21 ladies in attendance. Gwen Campbell led the lesson. They discussed the positive trait of patience along with faith that will do much to bring about a contented heart, not on- ly for themselves, but for those around them. The motto is "Let not your heart be troubled." The closing prayer was offered by Doris Peebles. The meeting will be the same time and place next week. United Church At the Grand Bend United Church this week, Rev. Peebles spoke. about Isaiah's vision, using Isaiah 1:6-8 as the basis for his sermon. Here is a very despondent Isaiah with a great burden on his heart. The just and peaceful king had died, so there was no leadership and a divided kingdom. When Isaiah took his problem to the temple, he had a vision of the Lord, seated on the throne, ruling in holiness, righteousness and power. Isaiah saw himself as a veryunwor- thy and insignificant servant, confess- ing his sin and received forgiveness. He responded to God's call to go out and serve Him. As Christians we too are challenged to acknowledge our sins, receive His forgiveness, and be ready and willing to be used in service for Him, telling others of God's love. !:lowers were placed in the sac- tuary by Doris Pearon, in loving memory of her mother who passed away this week. The choir sang a very beautiful number "A Choral Bless- ing." Door greeters were Hazel and Fred Willert and Evelyn and Roy Johnson. Ushers were Patty Desjar- dine and Susan Ratz. Alhambra News Grand Commander Cor and his Sultana Louise Vandenberk, and Sir - noble Marty and his Sutaina Debbie Kelaers attended the Grand Com- manders Ball in London on Saturday.

The funds raised go to support the Huron Hbpe Nursery School at McCurdy, equipment for ARC In- dustries, and to support the various Group Homes. This year there will be two new small group homes built in Exeter, to accommodate 10 adults, five in each home, so there will be a need for those funds to furnish these residences The Flowers Hopecampaign will continue throughout the month of May, with an afternoon tea on June 3 to celebrate its success for the volunteers, held at ARC in Dashwood.

You will forget everything you ever learned in school, you will forget all the skills you acquired in your career' Your vocabulary will deteriorate to "Watch your fingies" and "ta-ta to Mommy". I could feel the oatmeal syndroriie coining on last winter. That's why I was so pleased when I got a position as an instructor at Fanshawe College. The students would be bright and stimulating and colleagues in- teresting. I would be able to revitalize my vocabulary and bring those language skills home to Cbelsey who was just starting to say a few words. Well, I soon learned that it works the other way around. Two days at college doesn't balance five days with a toddler. Instead, I fould myself speaking baby language, even when I got out of the house. That's when you know you've been spending too much time with a 15 month old. For example, I was walking down the hallowed halls of learning one day with a fellow instructor. He dropped his briefcase, scattering books and papers far and wide. I stood there and said "Oh -oh!" in my best 15 -month- old voice. • Well, he was saying a little more than "oh -oh" as his papers were get- ting tramped on. Suddenly I came to , my senses, and helped him pick up anything �'a!n There are many other indicators which, will tell you that you've been spending too much time with a tod- dler. Like when you put on your own running shoes and then double knot the laces. Or then there was the day I was get- ting ready to go out. I spent 10 minutes running around the house looking for Chelsey's soother. a We never go out without taking a soother - you don't know when you might want to shut her mouth i. But on this par- ticular day. I wasn't taking (<helsey with me. You know you've been sir nding too much time with a'toddlerr 'hen you can name all the characters on Sesame Street. You know you've been spending too much time with a tod- dler when you say "Let's trim your • piggies", instead of "I'm going to cut your toenails". You know you've been spending too much time with a tod- dler when you say "Hi -hi" when you answer the telephone. And then there are the times you walk out of the office and wave "Bye- bye' to your fellow teachers. Or you're walking through the parking lot with a colleague and you say "Don't step in the mud." I guess there's no fighting it. Tod- dlers just move in and take over. The brain -to -oatmeal syndrome is inevitable.
