HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1986-11-26, Page 23Hear,' Foals of new group Paronts of kaidic�ppsd meet tion by Dr. Marsha Forest, regarding the M.A.P.S. program, which sets up a total school schedule of activities to meet that individual handicapped child's needs, within that particular school. Executive director John Gray ex- plained to them that all support groups and sheltered work shops should have the goal of sending han- dicaPPed people out into the com munity with total integration. Parents still have the final say, of course, but professionals are there to advise and provide support. He said that Huron Hope Nursery school could be closed, to encourage total integration, but it will remain open as long as parents request that service. Perhaps an open nursery school could be provided on the premises? There are TV programs being aired in the near future on these matters, on W-5 and on TVO. A letter. was read by Wendy King, who is also chairperson for the ad- visory: committee on special services in Huron County. At the time special services was established in Ontario, the tri -ministries of Heaoth, Educa- tion and Community and Social Ser- vices had no idea that there would be such a need. Facing what the ministries feel are overwhelming demands or requests for aid, financial constraints have arisen, which make the future 'of Special Services very uncertain. At this time, community needs cannot be met, so a province - wide review is being held in London, to re -assess and allocate funds. A questionaire was circulated among those present, revealing an in- terest of the parents in both groups. While not all wished to integrate their children immediately, it was felt that this was the wave of the future, and all were interested in monitoring developments. It was decided that the Parents Group would meet every other month. Some of the concerns they wished to be addressed in future meetings were: Behavior problems, assistive devices; obtaining a community facilitator; dealing with school boards; trusteeship in wills; com- munity awareness, and toy and clothing adaptations. President Donna Greb will call a meeting for January, at a date yet to be decided.

Walt Costello was reader, and Mr. and Mrs. Costello were lay commu- nion distributors. Sunday marked the feast of Christ the King. In his sermon, Father Morrissey asked why life is often so unfair and unjust. He reminded the congregation that one of the most striking examples of injustice was the crucifixion of Christ, an innocent man, hung bet- ween two thieves. What solace do we have? In God's final plan, we must believe that the scales will be balanced and justice rendered, but we must pray and work for justice here and now, as well as hope for it in the next world. We must not allow our hearts to become embittered and disillusioned; we cannot let the injustice of life destroy our own senseof values. Christ the King, triumphed over an ig- noble, unjust death on a cross, and we must follow His example, conquering our adversity to final victory. The senior church choir are still practicing each Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m. and will soon add Tuesday evening, to prepare for the Christmas season. The children's choir is in need of more voices, so the time of their practice has been changed to Satur- day at 10 a.m., at the church. All children from grade 1-8 are welcome. For the CWL, remember the UNITED CHURCH The sacrament of communion was observed at the Grand Bend United Church this weekend. The door greeters were Pat and ElginHen- drick, the ushers were Susan and Scott Keyes. Mrs. Annie Russell read the scripture. An instrumental duet "Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring", was played by Doug Martin on the organ and Idella Gable on the piano. Rev. Peebles sermon topic "Com- munion Is" brought out three points which should be our response as Christian believers. It is also a time of fellowship and sharing with God the ^•��� • rvi His Son Jesus. And it is a time of communication as we open our minds and hearts to the guiding of the Holy Spirit. He will draw us closer to God and His truths. 279-798, Larry Gibson 257-649, Brice Harris 241-641, Shirley Barker 248-611, Sharon Gibson 282, Fred Wells 220.
