Maurice Platts from London was the guest speaker at Centralia and Zion West United churches on Sunday. The scripture reading, from Daniel, dis- cussed King David and the theme of "oneness". In his sermon, Rev. Platts asked the question "What is the best congregation?" and an- swered with a focus on "oneness". Following the service, a meeting was held to discuss the possibility of paving the parking areas adja- cent to the streets. Although this will be an expensive undertaking, the congregation voted in favour of paving these areas when Centralia streets are repaved. During July, Heather Smith will lead the services at Centralia and Zion West. Regular services will be held at both churches on Sun- day, July 3. Joint worship services will then be held at 10:00 a.m. at Centralia on July 10 and 24. Zion West will host joint services at 10:00 a.m. on July 17 and 31. At the Stephen Township Coun- cil meeting last week, one of the items on the agenda was the library in Centralia. The Huron County Li- brary Board has recommended clo- sure of the library. A few individu- als attended the meeting to voice their concerns about the closure, and several letters have been writ- ten to Council by concerned resi- dents. Reeve Tom Tomes asked if maintaining the library at Centralia was the best use of tax dollars and why more residents hadn't ex- pressed their concern about the possible closure.
