Catholic news The Immaculate Heart of Mary Council of the Catholic Women's League met on November 17 at the Alhambra Hall, with 24 members and Father Beck present. CWL pres- ident Rose Van Bruaene convened the business. A total of $106.68 in pennies was rolled at the October meeting, to be sent to the Esk-Omi Missions in Northern Canada. The Lioness have invited the CWL to attend a "Gold Party" (jewelry), to be held at Oak- wood Dining room on November 26. TheCWLeamed $30 worth of free toys from Creative Kids, at the toy demonstration following the Octo- ber meeting. The toys will be do- nated to needy children for Christ- mas baskets. They received the invitation from Greenway United Church to attend their Christmas Ecumenical on De- cember 1 at 8 p.m. On December 3, the CWL is invited to attend a Pot- luck Supper in Watford, with a pen- ny sale and a play. There will be a special Mass on December 6 at 11 a.m., on Respect for Life Day, with CWL members as readers, ushers and eucharistic ministers. All mem- bers are encouraged to either attend Mass at the Basilica in London or at their parish church on December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Con- ception. The rosary is to be recited by all CWL members that evening, in honor of this Marian Year. Plans were made for CWL Christ- mas baskets to the sick and shut- ins.

"'allowing the meeting, the ladies watched a craft demonstration from Joanne Bengough, who works at Country Flowers in Exeter. Then each lady used the materials she pur- chased, or brought with her, to create wreaths out of straw or grape vines. The results were really beau- tiful, as each CWL member took home a special wreath for Christ- mas. Sunday was the Feast of Christ the King at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Grand Bend. Father Paul Beck was celebrant at all the Masses. In his sermon, he referred to the gospel reading about separat- ing the sheep from the goats. In to- day's clergy, they often try to label people as Pre -Vatican II Conserva- tive Catholics or Post -Vatican II Liberals. In the end though, people will be judged according to those who care and those who don't care. That is the difference that really counts with God. Next Sunday will be the First Sunday of Advent to prepare for the coming of Christmas. Also next Sunday, a children's prayer book will be available, for 25 cents, con- taining prayers and readings for each particular Sunday. The readings for the feast of Christ the King portray Jesus as the Glorius Risen Lord, and also the Judge at the end of Time, Jesus the perfect Ruler. Church of God The Church of God welcomed Mr. and Mrs. Elford Ropp from Tavis- tock, who provided special -music for the Sunday morning service. The door greeters were Mrs. Millie Desjardine and her son Richard. Rev. Desjardinc's sermon was tak- en from the Book of Malachi 3-4, which speaks about the fact that the world is in confusion. The answer to this dilemma is that people need a reverence for God, a reminder of Answer two fire calls After regular monthly fire practice on Monday, November 16 the GB and arca firemen were summoned out twice last week.

About town Well, now we've had our first taste of real winter weather. That was quite an Arctic blast, although Grand Bend didn't get as much snow as towns further inland. Check out your snow tires and change your motor oil, if you ha- vcn't already, and please slow down for weather conditions. Don't wind up as a traffic statistic this winter!

John Campbell and his wife Betty London, who presented a slide show- of photos taken on their trip last July while attending the World Conference of the Church of God in Seoul, Korea.

The Campbells wound up being overnight guests at the Dcsjardine's manse, as they couldn't get safely back to London in the storm on Fri- day night. Bible Class The Tuesday morning Bible Class convened at the Sauble Court Lounge with 16 ladies. Nita Sin- clair opened with a prayer and Mil- lie Dcsjardine led the hymn sing. They concluded_thcir study of the subject "Do 1 Try to Play God?" by considering Psalm 61 and the events related in 1I Samuel 2,3 4 and 5. They found that they shouldn't mourn over those whom God has rejected as Samuel did when God re- jected Saul as King in I Samuel 16:1. God loves His people so much that He will provide someone better. He doesn't ask us to do any- thing for which we arc not prepared, but if we have patience and trust in Him, He will transform us, and lead us step by step, fighting our battles for us. If we arc sincere we will re- joice and give God glory and praise. Vera Brown led the lesson and gave the closing prayer. There will he a new lesson beginning next Tuesday morning. G11 United Church Next Sunday, the 29th will be the Sacrament of Communion at the GB United Church. Ann Russell read the scriptures from Isaiah '43:1-13 and Acts 5:17- 29, wherein Rev. Robt. Peebles based his topic "Witnessing ... Re- quirements.' He said that a person must cultivate noble ambitions, have personal purity and concentrat- ed efforts with much determination to become a proper witness. White gift Sunday will be cele- brated on December 6.
