To be- gin with, on arriving at the church well in advance of 8:30 a.m., the lock on the door was so full of ice that one might as well have been trying to push the key of Westminister Abbey through the eye of a needle. Huff- ing and puffing and de-icer methods were tried, more people began to arrive, even a locksmith member from Lucan with a can of WD40, and finally after a pro- longed puff (of you know what) by the church teasurer, the key was inserted and the door was opened. However, about this same time, word was received that Rev. Stephen Emery's car would not start and af- ter waiting and hoping for three-quarters of an hour, all went their separate ways. Service time next Sunday, February 6 is 11 a.m. At the Granton United Church on Sunday, Pastor Normalie Voaks' sermon topic was "It's about time".
