About people you know
By Roberta Walker

tumn is in the air, so you need a
jacket now every morning and even-
ing. Touches of colour are tipping
the trees, acorns crunch underfoot
and the lake will soon be too cool
even for the hardiest to swim. It's a
great time of the year for long
hikes, especially through wooded
trials like those found in the pinery
Park.
Nellie Obermeyer and Winnie
Gill have just returned from a trip
to Lethrbridge, Alberta; where they
auended the wedding of Ms. Ober-

sister-in-law's summer resort, Ober-
meyer Mountain Shadow Lodge
near Radium, B.C. On return to
Lethbridge a farewell dinner was
served in their honor at the General
Stuart Legion Branch #4.

GB church news
By Roberta Walker
GRAND BEND - Service at the
Grand Bend United Church began
with the Call to Worship, from
Psalm 77. Joan Eagleson read the
scripture. The choral anthem, sung
by the choir, was "0 Christ Our
Light". •
Rev. Colin Stover titled his ser-
mon "Looking For Love", based
on Hosea 11. God becomes angry
when we look for love in other
places, rather than in God. But the
force of God's anger is reined in by
God's love for us, the same love re-
vealed in Jesus Christ, His Son.
The Covenanting Service was
held on Sunday evening, as Rev.
Stover formally began his pastoral
ministry. A reception followed.
On Tuesday, churches around the
world were asked to join with the
United Nations Assembly for a
moment of silence and a prayer for
peace. At noon, a million Canadi-
ans paused to recommit themselves
to peace, then at 12:01 church bells
world-wide rang out the call for
peace.
Flowers were placed in the
church in memory of Ross Love,
who passed away recently. Condo-
lences are extended to his family.
The Torchmen will be singing at
Zurich Mennonite Church on Sep-
tember 24 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are:

Who Believed God" and lesson one
was the beginning of Eve.

to order and we had a hymn sing.

prayer and was discussion leader.
Eve was uniquely handcrafted by
God. She was the first woman, the
first wife, the first mothcr and she
learned to live, love, to cope, to
overcome without any role model
to follow.
Every generation which followed
can call her "Mother" because we
able to the deceptions which
trapped. her. We can learn much
from her life.
We study Scripture Passages from
Genesis, Psalms, Chronicles, Mat-
thew, John, Romans and Hebrews.

prayer, remembering sick and shut-
ins.
