Varna and Goshen worship with Londoners By Mary Chessell VARNA - White Oaks United Church on Southdale Road in London was packed on Sunday when nearly 60 members of Varna and Goshen churches worshipped with the congregation in their new church. Their minister, Rev. Glen Wright, was in Exeter until he was appointed to survey the need for a church in the rapidly growing White Oaks subdivision. Because Donna Harper, the former Donna Peck, is a member there, we have been aware of their church's development from a small group meeting in a school. Our attention was focused on them, too, because of the Ven- tures in Mission program to provide capital funds for new church buildings and for redevelopment of old churches. We learned first hand why money is needed for new churches. School and office space was costing White Oaks $10,000 a year, so with a growing congregation the decision was made to build. Cost of land and a building was half a million dollars. They received a grant, but had to borrow $150,000 at 11 percent, a sizeable debt load for 200 members. With new capital funds, they will be able to get money at lower interest. At the present rate of growth, membership is expected to reach 300 within a year. It was noticeable that most members are young people with families. Sunday School at- tendance averages 125. Asked why these families could not be accommodated in existing churches, Rev. Wright explained that efforts to do this have not been successful, and the United Church believes in going to the people where they Chimney construction needs permits STANLEY TOWNSHIP - Anyone who lives in Stanley Township is now required by law to purchase a building permit when they are constructing a chimney. At their November meeting, Stanley Township Council agreed to include chimney construction in their building bylaw and set the permit fee at $15. Council felt that by requiring a permit to build a Council receives drain petition Accounts totalling more than $134,000 were ordered paid when Goderich Township Council met in regular session November 7. Of this amount, $72,000 was for Huron County Board of Education taxes. Planners Gary Davidson and Cindy Fisher were present at the meeting to ex- plain the preparation of the township zoning by-law. No motions were recorded regar- ding this and another meeting on the subject will be held later. By-law no. 7, 1983, a by-law to give the Kelly Municipal Drain a third and final reading, was passed. By-law no. 10, 1983, a by-law to provide a tile drain debenture of $5,400 on one owner, was given three readings and passed. A petition for a municipal drain was received and. accepted from Barry Wilson and others. It will be referred to ehgineer W.J. Bartlett for examination and report. Building permits were issued to Bruce Miller for the demolition of an old drive shed and construction of another on lot 35, con- cession 8; and to Alvin Bettie ,for con- struction of a sun room on lot 31, concession 6. A tile drain loan requested by D. Bland was accepted by council. Two applications were received for snow ploughing; one from Brian Porter at $8.50 per hour and one from Paul Radford at $7 per hour. A motion was passed to hire Radford. Five applications were received for in- stalling a septic tank at the new garage. A motion was passed to hire Gaetan Jacques at $1,017. Bayfield woman escapes injury A Bayfield area woman escaped injury Last week when the car she was driving struck a deer. The Goderich OPP reported that on Nov. 17, Agnes Kaptein, 45, of RR 2, Bayfield was driving along County Road 13 when the accident occurred. Damage to her 1981 Pontiac was estimated at $600. Clinton Police Chief Lloyd Westlake reported that a 22 -year old Kippen man has been charged with break and enter following a recent theft at the Les Clseaux hair salon in Clinton. Over 3100 was stolen in the in- cident. The man is also charged with rob- beries in Exeter and Seaforth. Chief Westlake reported an accident on Nov. 22 that resulted in more than $600 in damages. Vehicles driven by Frank Pyke of RR 5, Clinton and Brian Hurley, of RR 3, Bayfield collided on Victoria Street near the main street interestion. Damage to the Pyke car was set at $400 and 3200 to the Hurley vehicle. chimney, the nurmer of chimney fires could be reduced. The reyv addition to the building bylaw will allow later chimney inspections during constructilp. In other business, council received nine the drainage lo'I applications, totalling $43,500. They alsoapproved eight other loan applications for a,otal of $69,000. It was reportec that construction on the new community centre is running on schedule. If goalweather continues for another four weeks, most of the outdoor work will be completed. Council passed a bylaw designating the new building as a community recreation centre. This will allow the township to apply for a Community Centres Grant. Clerk Mel Graham noted that the municipality has also applied for a $62,500 Wintario grant and may be able to apply for a New Horizons grant if support is received from local senior citizens. New Horizons funding is available to senior citizens groups to help purchase furnishings for their use. r Ze4 HAIR SHOP INTRODUCES SPECIAL SAVINGS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS Because of our strong senior citizen clientele...we have created a special price structure for you.

The need for a church in that area is evident, as every room could have three activities every night of the week. Music for the worship service was provided by the White Oaks children's and senior choirs. Shelley, David and Jeff Hayter of Goshen sang, and a double trio of women from Varna and Goshen. A banner was presented to the White Oaks Church with Gordon Hill expressing wishes for their success in their new church. Rev. Wllena Brown read the scripture, and Rev. Wright's sermon topic was "God's Peace Initiative". Following lunch with the White Oaks people, we went to the huge old Metropolitan Church downtown, which was built in 1895. Rev. Fran Clarke explained the operations of their busy church. Four ministers, the Revs. Maurice Boyd, Morley Clarke, Frances Clarke and Reid Vipond share the work there, each concentrating on the work for which they are especially gifted. Metropolitan can seat over 1,300 people, but requires two morning and one evening service for the more than 2,000 who worship there each Sunday. New members receive a church directory of groups and key people. A history of the church is kept up-to-date. The annual budget is over half a million dollars, $112,000 just for utilities, custodians and repairs. Metropolitan has a history of helping other churches get started, White Oaks being a recent one. Beautiful stained glass windows are everywhere, depicting the whole life of Christ, and one for each of the apostles. Church symbols are incorporated in the woodwork, a contrast to the simplicity of the new church. The older children were fascinated with the big church, and enjoyed exploring it. The president of their U.C.W. read their financial budget, which was much like our own, but more extensive. The bus was filled with singing most of the way home, and everyone enjoyed an im- promptu duet, by Sandra Coultis and Susan Kirton. Darlene Babyche of Fort McMurray spent several days last week with her parents, Mervyn and Margaret Hayter. Joe and Willi Laurie and children are moving into their new home this Wed- nesday.
