Spring cleaning bee set
By Margaret Hoggarth
KIPPEN - Rev. Lorne Keays' sermon on
April 27 at St. Andrews was entitled Your
Watch and You. He compared the congrega- •
tion to'a watch, illustrating that both should
keep time well, be well regulated, are
created, and have a source of power. As a
watch must be returned to the maker to,be
repaired, so people at the end of time have
to return to the supreme maker for eternity.
Barbara Cooper accompanied the choir as
they presented the ministry of music.
The week of May 5-10 has been chosen for
a spring cleaning bee of the church. Any
assistance will be appreciated. Please help

It was announced this week that the fund
for the restoration and repair of the church
roof has now reached $15,000. This is a good
beginning, but it is still necessary to raise
the other half of the sum required. No doubt
there are still many who will wish to con-
tribute for them, and for those who may
not have been aware of the fund this notice
