United ('hurch This Sunday at the Grand Bend United Church, 40 members of the Scouts, Guides, Cubs, Brownies and Beavers, and their leaders, were pre- sent tocoin memorate the birthday of Lord and Lady Baden Powell, founders of the Scout/Guide move- ment. Several Girl Guides greeted church members at the door, then the color party marched in, carrying the banners of each group.A Guide read the scriptures. and a Scout and a junior leader took up the collection. There was a guest minister, Rev. Pickell from paderich, for the ser- vice, and he Addressed the children's story to the special visitors. He told some biographical details of Lord Baden Powell, son of a minister, whose father died when he was three. As a young man he organized groups of boys to go down into the army carhps to do odd jobs for the military. These boys were so effective. that they formed the basis of what became the Scouting Movement. always guid- -ed by his deep religious beliefs. Scouting began in 1908 in Britain and spread to America by 1910. Lord IRatlen-Powell married late, at age 55, and then Lady Baden-Powell founded the Girl Guides. • There was a musical group perfor- ming, the La Fontaines, four young brothers and sisters from age 7 to 22 years from Sarnia, moved hete recently from the U.S. These talented young people compose and perform their own music. The seven-year old girl sang "I'm a Somebody", special- ly composed for her by her oldest brother, plus many other original in- spiring. toe -tapping songs, a joy to hear. Rev. Pickell's sermon was titled "A Person Lives What Ile Thinks". You live more in your own thoughts than in the ideas or ideals of your ancestors. He gave three observa- tions: 1) Life can be more struggle than reward, 2) Life is more mental than environmental and 3) Life is more spiritual than material. "Are you a voice or an echo of someone else?" It's up to us to make our own decisions - with .)esus' help we make the right ones. ' Sl. John's Anglican ('hurch Rev. Walter Vipperman, rector of St. John's Anglican Church, officiated at the 9:30 a.m. prayer service this past Sunday. The text of his sermon was from Matthew 5: 27-37, which deals with part of the Sermon on the Mount, regarding sins of the world. The choir sang an anthem, "Glory Be to Jesus". Following the service, a presentation was made to Mr. and Mrs. Alan Carverhill; who will soon be leaving the parish, to be closer to their family. The hostess for the cof- fee hour was Mrs. Ann Hider. The annual pancake breakfast will be held on March 3, Shrove Tuesday. from 8 to 10 a.m. in the parish hall. Tickets are on sale at $3.00 each. available from church members. There was a special hymn sing at the Anglican Church at 4 p.m. on Sun- day as about 30 people from various charch choirs, at Dashwood and j Grand Bend United, Trivett Anglican, Exeter and other churches. gathered to lift their voices in praise to God. This combined choir of dedicated men and women performed such classics as "Morte C'hriste", "Rejoice, the Lord is King", "Evening Ilymn," and Crimond's "The Lord is My Shepherd". The congregation joined in a selection of beautiful old fav- orites, many by Welsh composers, favored by Mr. Carverhill. Mr. Alan Carverhill conducted Ahe choir and exp)ained the origins of many of the selections. Miss Idella Gable assisted him as accompanist on the organ. Guest soloist Roberta Walker. of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, performed two selections. "1 See the Love of God In Every River" and Mozart's beautiful "Ave Verum Cor- pus" Rev. Vipperman officiated at this special service, to honour Alan Carverhill in his farewell perfor- mance. His talents will be sorely missed by the community. and we wishthem bothjoy in their new home. After the service. everyone ad- journed to the church hall, for delicious refreshments and a social time. A special thanks goes to all those whb give so willingly of their time and talents. Catholic parish news The pastor, Rev. Bob Morrissey was celebrant at all the weekend Masses. At the 11 a.m. Mass. Carol Lutherwas reader. Lydia Duchou was cantor, and I?aul Dietrich was the organist. John Kelders and Jerry Backx served as eucharistic ministers, andhhe choir's special at communion was "Sing for Joy". , Father Morrissey's sermon ex- amined some of the -teachings of Christ, such as ;'Turn the other cheek" and "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you." Are some of these teaching impractical. even impossible for us? They aren't always meant to be taken literally, but they must be taken seriously! We know that it is impossible to love a drug dealer as we do our own fami- ly, but what about an unfriendly neighbor, a relative who gets on our nerves, or someone who libels us? How can we handle this? Forget about personal feelings, some people are harder to like thari others, but Jesus asks that we treat everyone fairly. We must love our neighbor, as God loves them, regardless of whether we like them or not. God distributes his blessings to good and bad alike, so we must all try to "love your enemies; and you will become perfect. like your heavenly Father is perfect". Congratulations to Bruno Pachlarz and Irene Burley, who were united by the sacrament of matrimony at the parish, this past week. Also con- gratulations go to Mr. and Mrs. Wil- ly Michielsens, who will be celebrating their 25th wedding an- niversary this week, Tuesday, February 24. Condolences go to Vince Ryan, of the parish, whose sister, Mary Ellen Buttle died this past week. There will be another COR retreat weekend for young people coming up on March 28 weekend in Stratford. If you are interested in attending, please see Father. There are also retreats scheduled at the Holy Fami- ly Retreat House during March and April..There are retreats for women on March 13-15 and April 10-12. is an important communication tool in the National Parks Services. Most of the twelve -thousand -plus slides presently in the Pinery Park col- leciton are of his own work. Terry has used a variety of cameras over the years, with ad- justable focus. He finds that an automalice focus lens tends to freeze up in cold weather, plus the fact that you can make your own adjustments for special shots. What kind of pictures are we talk- ing about? A visual record of all the animals; plants, insects and topography found within the boun- daries of the pinery. There are beautiful slides of deer, raccoons; hundreds of birds, from warblers to waterfowl; flowers like Lady's Slip- per and Trillium; Indian Pipe and all manner of fungi; sand dunes along the beach, sunsets on the river and over the lake: all seasons of the year. Did you know that there are coyotes in the Pinery? Actual timber wolves are much larger and found up farther north.) A truly remarkable record! Terry uses everything from telephoto lenses on the shyer animals, to macrophotography catching flower petals, water droplets and insects in magical close-ups. He finds nature photography W be a bit of a challenge, since one must have an understan- ding of animal behaviour to blend in- to their "environment, patiently waiting for that "perfect shot". One rather interesting "attempt" was made to photograph the ex- periences of commercial fishermen. Unfortunately. the day didn't go quite as planned due to high winds and higher waves, causing uncontrollable sea sickness, with no decent shots taken. Definitely not one of Terry's better days, but the life of a nature photographer isn't always easy! For this particular concert, February 26.Terry Crabe is planning to use the music of the St. Marys Children's Choir. taped at their December -concert here in Grand Bend. Those of you who missed that concert have another chance to hear the children sing. Terry will also be giving a short nature talk. What are his plans for the future? One is a show -on the people and places in Grand Bend. and the other is a show about sailing - if he can conquer his tenden- cy to seasickness! The other part of the February 26 concert will feature the Forest Ex- celsior Stage Band, under the direc- tion of Marco Rnic, the head of the Music Department of North Lambton Secondary School. Mr. Rnic has his degree in music education from U.W.O. and has played professional- ly with the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra. and now performs with the Woodstock Strings Orchestra, on flute and piccolo. He once performed with the Academy.Chamber Or"h, tra of Windsor, on CBC radio. Members of the Forest Stage Band come from as far away as London, Sarnia, and Hensall, as well as the local Forest area. They will be play- ing old familiar tunes, like Tea for Two and Moonlight Serenade; popular music from the Beatles to Sinatra; and some favorites from movie sound tracks. The band has quite a wide variety of instrumenta- tion, with solos by vocalists, pianists, trumpet, sax and clarinet, and percussion. You couldn't ask for a better even- ing than Sound and Image '87!

Come out on Thursday, and bring your children; they love the spectacle of a big band, and a great value for one dollar! Church of God A major part of our worship of God is in singing praises to Him. In the morning service the Church of God congregation enjoyed singing hymns such as "All Hail the Power of Jesus Name," and "Since Jesus Came Into My Heart," and hearing George Winegarden's solo, "Amazing Grace". The pastor's sermon was taken from Colossians 2:8-15. In this passage, the Apostle Paul warns people against being led astray by false doctrines, a self-righteous at- titude, and the thought that God will accept any good person in the end. Through Christ's death on the cross we can claim victory over sin. Christ is all we need, said Pastor Desjardine to give us fullness in life. In the eveningservice, they were blest through the ministry of song and prayer by accordion -playing Bob Heywood of Exeter. Among the songs he sang were "I Just Keep Trusting My Lord," and "He Took My Sins Away". Some special dates to mark on your March calendars: The Beaconnaires Bowling and Supper Meeting, March 2; Pancake Supper, March 3; and the Installation Service for Rev. Desjar- dine on March 13. Host hay ride On Friday, members of the Alham- bra,local Algarva 168, hosted a hay ride and lunch for 60 employees of ARC Industries and 15 supervisory personnel. The event took place at the Alhambra hall on the Klondyke Road. They arrived at noon, to enjoy a lunch of chili, hot dogs, coffee and hot chocolate, served by the Sultanas, the members' wives. After lunch, while one group en- joyed hay rides, on two tractor -pulled wagons, the rest visited or danced in- side. Then they'd come inside to en- joy donuts and more hot chocolate - while the rest took their turn. The - weather cooperated to provide a fine, - sunny day, and there was even enough snow for snow ball fights! One of ARC's favorite annual events! Sultanas Louise Vandenberk and Roberta Walker were assisted in the kitchen by Wilma Smeekins, Dina Kelders, Rita Smits, Jean Mom- mersteeg. Fran Relouw, and several Sir Nobles, Cor Vandenberk, Casey Backx, Ben Windels, Marty Kelders and Ted Relouw. Sir Nobles Phil Walker and Jack Smeekins drove the tractors. Special thanks to the ladies who provided th chili, or helped in any way to make the day such a resoun- ding success. They are already look- ing forward to next year! Bible class Fifteen ladies were out to the com- munity Bible study and coffee hour held at Sauble Court, Tuesday morn- ing. Prayer and a hymn sing preced- ed the lesson. They started the new study book on David and his Psalms. In it, the Psalms that David wrote are correlated with events in his life, as taken mainly from I and II Samuel. They noticed particularly that a man's outward appearance does not show what is in his heart. They realiz- ed that God looks upon the heart and we are going to make a concerted ef- fort to yield ourselves more fully to Him, as He desires to purify our hearts. 1 Samuel 16:7. Gwen Campbell led the lesson. and closed with prayer. A. John Hughes, C.D.
