Following the Christian fami- ly service, the Sunday Church School students, along with the whole con- gregotion took part in a Centennial tree planting service. Mr. McDonald condycted the ser- vice and a representative from each Sunday Church School Department assisted Sunday School Superinten- dent Cecil Pepper in planting the tree. Taking part were Gordon Hamilton, Robert Gaokstetter, Mary Taylor, Shane Pepper, Jaime McGee, Leanne Consitt, Melissa Masse; Ben Cottrell, Jason Corbett, Jennifer Masse and Erin Traquair The tree was planted by the children of thengregation as a sym- bol of the faith the future of the church in the hands of the future generation who are the children of today. The celebration continued when Piper Glenn MacGregor led the parade of the children, followed by the congregation, to the school grounds for the launching of the Centennial Balloons. Each child had a balloon, with his or her name of it, and an invitation to the Centennial events. The balloons were sent off, and the children are looking forward to hearing from anyone who finds the invitation. The church is celebrating the building of the church. In 1886 the con- gregation were busy planning the church and constructing the building as their church at Rogerville was becoming too small for the congregation. For the Christian Family Sunday Service. Jim and Betty McGregor greeted theiori and Wilmer Ferguson, Rased Ger�regMsteukorn, Mer- vyn Fields and BW Fara were the ushers. ' The ministry of Music was led by both the Senior 'and JUnior Choirs. The Junior choir, with Mindy Bell as soloist, sang the very beautiful "Moths: Dear Mother" and the Senior choir "A. Mother's Day Prayer" by Marion Jewell Sublets with Jean Jacobe taking the solo. Mir. McDonald spoke on the subject "Gifts for Mother". Basing his thoughts on scriptural background he suggested many things we can give our mothers other than the material things, honour, remembrance, obe- dience and love: The flowers at the front of the church were placed by Eleanore and Eric Mansfield in loving memory'of their parents 'Isabel Venner and Mr.' and Mrs. John Stanley Mansfield. Next Sunday the members of the Hensall I.O.O.I ;ind Rebekahs will be special guests for the service. The congregation was reminded that the Old Fashioned Garden Party and Variety Night will be held on Wednes- day, Jutie 4., Unit 1 Lorna Spencer presided over the May meeting of Unit I of the U.C.W. at the Hensall United Church. Belva Fuss was pianist. Seven members answered r811 da11 by naming a man from the bible. Lor- na read a poem "A Mother's Prayer". "Mother's Day of Glory" was the theme of the devotional. Happy homes are the ones where love is liv- ed and practiced each day. Too many mothers today are trying to buy hap- piness for children in stores. True happiness can only be bought with love, service and sacrifice.

Enjoy Jackson concert The children and parents attending Saturday's show at SHDHS spent an entrancing hour with Michael and Michelle Jackson, Australia's top team of children's entertainers. The relaxed and happy mood was set in the first few minutes, when Mike gathered the children to the front like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, almost within touching distance of the performers. The Australian songs were a big hit, as was the music drawn from some unusual instruments by the two talented musicians. The audience was involved in the juggling, and the children were given personal instruction in cat's cradle and other string games. For the finale, parents and children pushed the chairs to the walls and stepped out to some folk dances. One woman with a child in tow who arrived for the cancelled second per- formance was presented with one of 10 special tapes the Jacksons had brought from Australia, and an autographed picture of the duo. Members of the Hensall Nursery School executive, organizers of the event, were; disappointed that only 143 tickets were sold, as 200 were needed to break even. The Jacksons' next engagement is at the Children's Festival in Toronto. Those who missed an exceptional per- formance may get another chance in two years time when the Jacksons plan another Canadian tour.
