The 11 a.m. mass was held for the special intentions of all deceased members of thholic Women's League of the pa CWL members took part in the liturgy throughout the service. Carol Luther was the reader, Rose Van Bruaene and Mary Fran Gaiser were Eucharistic ministers, and Lia Vandenberk, Tillie Van Leeuwen, Emma Couckyet and Bertha Baltessen were ushers. A rosary, in honor of Mary during her month of May, was recited just prior to mass by the congregation, led by Emma Couckyet and Madeline Dalton. Roberta Walker performed a solo, Ave Maria, during communion and the choirs special pieces were "The Lord's My Shepherd" and "Hail Mary, Full of Grace". The CWL new executive marched into church during the entrance pro- cessional and they were installed in a special ceremony during the mass. Each new officer lit a candle and took her oath of office to serve her parish, God and Canada. The new executive includes: past - president Thea Stokkermans, presi- dent Rose Van Bruaene, president- elect Roberta Walker, vice president Rita Smits, second vice-president Margret Breuer, secretary Carol Luther, corresponding secretary Sal- ly Johnson and _treasurer Yvonne Vandenberk. Father Morrissey presented new president Rose VanBruaene with a gavel, and past -president Thea Stok- kermans gave her the president's pin. Several CWL members also received their 25 -year pins from the new presi- dent, for 25 years of loyal service in the CWL, Corrie Relouw, Francine Smits, Annie Grootjens and Bertha Baltessen were pinned. Father Morrissey based his sermon on the gospel of the Good Shepherd and the 23rd Psalm "The sheep listen to His voice as He calls them by Name". God calls us each by name, as individuals. Many have a low opi- nion of themselves; remember that Jesus thought we were all worth redeeming and dying for. Sinners that we are, there is always someone who loves and remembers us, who calls us by name to follow Him, the friend of all sinners, the Good Shepherd. Father Morrissey wished all the mothers a happy Mother's Day. He encouraged all women to join the CWL, especially now during the CWL month in May. The next general meeting is May 25. Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church is having a giant yard sale on Satur- day, May 16 from 9 to 5 p.m. on the school parking lot and all proceeds go to their centennial fund. May is also the month to collect for Multiple Sclerosis. There were several tables open on Friday and Saturday,in Grand Bend, in front of the Liquor Store, the TD Bank, and Leo's Tenderspot, manned by various organizations. Twelve members of the CWL sold carnations in bunches or single flowers to raise -money for Multiple Sclerosis, at a table in front of the Tenderspot. The total collec- tions for the two days in Grand Bend came to about $1560.00 and the organizers were very pleased. Thanks to all the volunteers and to all those who donated so generously. Church of God The Grand Bend Church of God welcomed all the mothers present on their special Mother's Day. The scrip- ture reading was from 1 Samuel 1:1-10. Pastor Desjardine spoke of the story of Hannah, who prayed to God for a son, promising to dedicate the child to God if her prayers were answered. Later Hannah was able to present her child Samuel to God. He grew up in the temple and became a true man of God. Millie Desjardine sang a special number "I Have Returned to the God of My Childhood". Each lady was presented with a gift of a flowering plant by the youths, after the service. In the evening service, the pastor continued speaking from Psalm 119. The writer of the Psalm had been in deep despair, and called on the Lord for direction and deliverance. Morley and Millie Desjardine sang a special number. The Beaconnaires had their meeting on Monday, May 4 at the Church of God. They enjoyed their customary delicious pot -luck meal together. Following the dinner, slides were shown by Rev. Lindsay from the Parkhill United Church, of his bus trip last fall to the U.S. The Women of the Church of God met on Thursday evening for a carry - in mother -daughter supper. They en- joyed some games after the meal and a short talk on the missions by Pat Desjardine, finishing with a reading by Lucille Vincent. Anglican Church Rev. Walter Vipperman celebrated the Sunday service at St. John's Anglican Church with holy commu- nion. In his sermon, Rev. Vipperman spoke of the importance of the Chris- tian religions keeping within the guidelines laid down by the Apostles. Mrs. Ruth McIntosh was hostess of the coffee hour after the service. The Anglican Ladies' Group is holding its annual spring tea bake sale and talent table on this Saturday, May 16, from 2 to 4 p.m. in the parish hall. Bible study There were 16 ladies in attendence at the community Bible study at Sau- ble Court Tuesday morning. Nita Sinclair opened prayer followed by a hymn sing. The ladies studied 1 Samuel 23, where they saw God's con- tinuing presence with David as he fled from King Saul, his pursuer. David ran, hoping to avoid confrontation, but should they meet, David had every reason to seek revenge. The lesson was led by Pat Desjar- dine, with a closing prayer by Millie Desjardine, with special thoughts for the sick and shut-ins. Mothers Day Service Millie Kane and Elizabeth Norris were door greeters for this special Mothers Day service at the GB United Church. Special music was provided by the junior Sunday School classes accom- panied at the piano by Irene Kennedy. They sang "Little Lunch, I'm Happy to be Me, and Smile". Jason Desjar- dine and Joan Eagleson read the FLOORING lesson from Deut. 6:4-9; 16-25, wherein parents are advised to teach their children at every opportunity, morning, noon and night. Rev. R. Peebles told the children to watch for the acid test. He demonstrated with two glasses • of water how one could fizz over the top when something happens to upset it. Christians remain calm and cheerful. He said that mothers are like forest rangers. They watch over the trees/people. The grade "A" ones ane - needed to build churches; and the smoldering fires should be stamped out before they get beyond help. Peebles concluded with a touching solo "Mothers Prayers Have Follow- ed Me ... I'm Coming Home." Don Kobe, GB, has been elected as chairman of the Huron -Perth Presbytery.
