The Sunday School children were welcomed back by Bev Robinson, our Staff Associate who, during the Children's story time, explained to them the many reasons that they as part of our church family have to celebrate. The children later re- turned, parading into the sanctuary with balloons to join in the Official Opening Celebration.

It's sv easy T'o avtiki planning a fur)eral in advance. So often, people tend to ignore the subject, instead leaving w tins th,,ta un- oortant considerations whieh ran htmade,.,s,2 :f'-i3y,bsfo a -they -ata needed. Certain groups of people, especially,'should consider pre -planning and pre -financing a funeral. For example, people living on a fixed in- come would be wise to plan in advance for funeral arrangements, so they can be assured that the Cost of such services can be easily met. (Pre -planning, however, need not cost anything. You may simply record with us your final wishes in the matter. Retired people should think about planning arrangements so such de- cisions wont have to ba made at the time of need. In addition, people wllb are caring for elderly parents would be wise to make funeral ar- rangements in advance. Finally, if you travel or move your household frequently, pre -planning may save much confusion should you die. Planning in advance also saves the family from making many long-distance telephone calls to make arrangements at a difficult time for them. As funeral ,directors, we can provide all the information necessary for you to pre -plan funeral services. Please stop by or give us a call. rM fun•,o, Home m butter wlp n o m•ml»r of f • Ontario floweret S•r.,t• A,roc,oh,on is, FUNERAL HOME a4Owt 23S 't10 r UC office for Disabled Persons; co- ordinator of the Access fund and representing the Office for Senior Citizens Affairs, Mr. Douglas May- er; representing the disabled persons in our congregation and community was Mr. Josh Watson and represent- ing the senior citizens in our con- gregation and community, Mr. Jack Doer. Rev. Rick Hawley then presented Bev Prout with a bouquet of flow- ers on behalf of our church family for the tremendous amount of work, effort and time Bev has put into this project. Gerry Bornath, chairperson of the Outreach Committee spoke to us of our church mission work, past, fu- ture and continuing and reminded us of the importance of looking cut - ward as well as inward in cur ste- wardship and responsibilities as Christ's disciples. Following the service the congre- gation joined for a delicious lunch- eon and many thanks must go to Joanne Wareham, Betty Watson and helpers for looking after this. Members of the Finance and Property Committee were on hand to conduct tours of the completed renovations. the questions, com- ments and interest shown should certainly tell them that their efforts were appreciated.

Later in the evening we shared a pot -luck supper. So many came out for supper that we had to scramble to set up extra tables. Special thank go to Alma Langford, Heather Montgomery and their helpers for looking after that. The wrap-up to our Day of Cele- bration was the.
