Varietyyshow-int Granton By Muriel Lewis GRANTON - The "Village Voices" variety show was presented by the Granton United Church choir at the church on Friday evening. The pro- gram consisted of severalseloctions by the choir, a trio, monologues, skits and dialogues, all of which proved very entertaining. The Anglican bible study group led by Rev. Stephen Emery met at the home of Pat Cornish in Kirkton on Thursday afternoon. The theme of study was prejudice and forgiveness. At the St. Thomas' Anglican church on Sunday, the Reverend Stephen Emery celebrated the Eucharist. Marlene French was the reader and Paul Acres assisted as server. The sermon was a "Jean Vanier in Conversation" video presentation entitled the Nature of Prejudice and a Vision of God. Rev. Emery summed up the message by saying love and forgive, instead of judging, and leave the condemnation to God. A time of fellowship followed the service. At the Granton United Church on Sunday, Pastor Normalie Voakes chose "Positively Radiant" as the subject of her sermon. In a service of Holy Baptism, the minister baptized Judith O'Neil and daughter Bailey. The lessons were from Exodus 34, 2nd Corinthians 3 and Luke 9. Queensway News HENSALL - Residents had their last bingo for February with the Kippen UCW, and were thrilled when the ladies told them they can count on them for assistance with walks and wheelchair rides out- doors in August.

The sen- iors look forward to having him back. The video "A Tribute to George Gershwin" was viewed by several residents Thursday afternoon. Eve- ryone felt a little nostalgic listening to and watching this terrific musi- cian. Jack Simmons and his Swingin Seniors were in Thursday evening to provide entertainment and dance music for residents at the monthly birthday pany. Birthday greetings to Mabel Chowen, Olive Heal, Mary Buchanan, Christina Taylor and Kay Hovius. Several volunteer Auxiliary members were out to as- sist with serving birthday cake and ice cream and also serve as dance partners for residents. BILL HASKETT you asked! ARE THE "rEX_TR4 "RE4LLY XTRA9 We read the other day about a very simple funeral in another city. No flowers were permitted, no music was performed; the service was very short. It presented a rather bleak picture, we agreed. What we con- sider important about a full-service funeral service -- with the "extras" just mentioned -- is that it recognizes the death, but also presents a picture of hope for the bereaved. All is not somber; flowers and music are subtle reminders that lite con- tinues. Such hope is valuable therapy, indeed. As human be- ings, we are constantly "taking pictures and storing them away." Later on, our mind's eyes pull out the important pic- tures in our lives. It's rather important, psychologists tell us, for the pictures of the funeral to be warm and favorable re- sponses. As funeral directors, we cart advise you of these and other "special touches" that add life and hope to funeral services. Please call us or stop by if you would like more information.
