Times-Advocate, 1983-12-21, Page 35Christ Child Grade 5
By Nathalle Goud Zurich Public School
Cold was the night of Jesus'
birth
He lay in Mary's arms,
Restingpeacefu lly
In the quiet, little
Stable that was -
The only vacant spot.
Christ was weak and helpless.
He lay silently sleeping
In the manger where Mary
had
Laid him gtntly in the straw.
Daily they had walked but
they were resting peaceful-
ly now.

FASHIONS FOR HER
375 Main St., Exeter
met at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Al Cocquyt on Thursday
evening.
The occasion was to honor
Murray Hodgins, treasurer of
the Lucan Branch with an
award for his 25 years of
devoted service, particularly
with the handling of the "In
Memoriam" fund. This
aw-'rd was to have been
presented to Murray by the
Ontario Deivision Vice Presi-
dent at the annual meeting of
the London Middlesex Unit
held recently in Thorndale,
but unfortunately •he was
unable to attend.

tioning the many services for
the Society that Murray had
performed over the years.
Bus trip
A number of people from
Granton and area (myself in-
cluded) joined other
passengers on an Ilderton
Tours bus trip to Frankin-
muth, Michigan, December'
10-11. The town of
Frankimuth is a town where
it is Christmas all year round
and looks uniquely like a
Bavarian town.
The highlight of our trip
was being able to attend a
Christmas concert held in the
St. Lorenz Lutheran Church
where a combined choir of
over 300 voices, accompanied
by instrumental ensembles,
bands and a bell ringing
group performed. The only
way to describe it was
tremendous, the acoustics in
the church were excellent.
United Church Women
The Granton general UCW
met at the church on Tuesday
evening for their annual
Christmas meeting. A
smorgasbord supper preced-
ed the meeting with invited
guests, the youth groups and
their leaders.
Mrs. Leroy Bryan, presi-
dent, welcomed everyone and
conducted the business. All
members had been asked to
bring canned goods or
something in the food line for
the needy.
Unit 1 was responsible for
the program. Mrs. Gordon
McRobert presided and open-
ed with a reading "I
remember ('hristmas." The
youth group "The Who"
presented a skit entitled "A
Roadside Christmas," this
depicted a number of
travelers from different
walks of life who were strand-
ed in a snowstorm and had to
take shelter in the same
home. During their stay each
person is changed for the bet
ter and they all become
friends

the fourth Sunday in Advent.
