BRUSSELS --The Brussels Men-

15th anniversary on Sunday, Jan.

The Church came into being 15
years ago as the dream of a few
families crystalized. The group
started with five families in the area
who had been traveling further
afield to worship. In 1981, when
the group had grown to 10 families,
it purchased a house from Clark
Matheson where the church build-
ing now is located.
The house was renovated in stag-
es and two main additions have
beer. added. The chapel was added
in 1984 and a kitchen, minister's
study and gymnasium were build in
1987. The congregation now con-
sists of approximately 50 families
from a mixture of Church back-
grounds.
The anniversary service included
a message, "Lifted Living", by Pas-
tor Tom Warner, based on the text
from John 12:20-36, which was
read by Phailop Larprom.
The Cornerstone Group minis-
tered through song. Joy -Ellen
Greenwood and Andrea Hiller
played a duet on their flutes. Greet-
ings and reflections also were
shared. Paul Greenwood spoke on
behalf of the Church Council and
Linda Garland brought a message
from Brian Laverty, presently liv-
ing at Kitchener, who served as the
fellowship's first pastor.
Bev Brown read a letter from the
next pastor, Doug Zehr, currently
ministering in Indiana. Gordon
Bauman, who gerved as interim
pastor between Mr. Zehr's and Mr.
Warner's terms, was present to ad-
dress those gathered. Various mem-
bers of the congregation . also
shared memories of the Church's
history.

Five Star Quilters
gather in Teeswater
to tie fire quilts
The sewing machines were whir-
ring and the room was abuzz with
conversation last Wednesday when
members .of the Five Star Quilters
Guild. gathered at Teeswater to
make quilts for fire victims.
Each year, guild members get to-
gether to make these lovely "fire
quilts". In the long -held tradition,
the quilts are made from scraps of'
'used fabric, even scarf ends, and
then painstakingly quilted on the
dozen blocks set uparound the
community centre auditorium.
Ann Hawkins of RR 1, Wing -
ham, is in charge of the fire -quilt
project and says the guild meets
once each year to tie the squares,
which have been donated. She esti-
mates that 15 quilts are donated to
fire victims each year. They go to
victims throughout the entire area
the guild covers, from Kincardine
to Mount Forest, from Londesbo-
rough to Hanover.
Formed seven years ago, the
Five Start Quilters Guild boasts 70
members. They get together month-
ly to share techniques, learn new
patterns and just visit with friends
who share a a like interest.
Other projects the guild under-
takes is the making of doll quilts
each Christmas for the Salvation
Army to give to children. As well,
the guild hosts a quilt show every
two years. The next show will be
held in 1996 at Lucknow.
