Everyone enjoyed reviewing the

by.
The business meeting was then

the chair and Ken Wood as

silence and a prayer.

Reflexologist addresses
JOY January meeting
Leslie Martin, leader of the J.O.Y.
Unlimited group at St, Andrew's
Presbyterian Church, directed the
thoughts of the group to the topic of
prayer during the opening
meditation at last Monday evening' -
meeting.
She spoke especially .of the nee u Lo
pray for one's childrenand how
important it is for children to realize
that mothers are praying on their
behalf.
Lorraine Clugston then led a Bible
study based on the question: Are
your warning lights working?
She stated that many times people
know very well the truth about
issues, but are willing to be led to
believe something quite different.
Through the study of various
scripture passages, she stressed to
the group how necessary it is to
firmly remember and not be misled
about three truths concerning
Jesus: He is the image of God; He is
the firstborn over all creation and
Reis the Creator.
When we read an article, see a
film or are told information other
than what we 'mot? to be true, our
warning lights should alert us tthe
danger and remind us of the truth,
Mrs. Clugston.said, . ,
As an expression of the Bible study
theme, the group joined in singing
"Thou Art Worthy", with Linda
Pettigrew as pianist.
The offering was received and
Marilyn Baird led in prayer. A lunch
eak, prepared by convener Sandra
Walker and assistants, was enjoyed.
Audrey McKague then introduced
Sandra Giesbrecht, a registered
reflexologist at the Holistic Health
Centre, Listowel.
Holistic is a new word involving an
old concept, she explained. Holistic
healtlf treats the whole nature of the
person — the physical, mental and
spiritual aspects.
Mrs. Giesbrecht explained the
various services offered at the
centre and the theories behind them.
Some of these include reflexology,
laser acupuncture, deep muscle
therapy and food allergy testa*.
Several tips regarding the use of
herbal preparations for common
ailments were given,
"Nature has not given any disease
for which it has not provided a
remedy," she claimed.
After a question and answer
period, Mrs. Pettigrew thanked Mrs.
Giesbrecht for her present ttion.
