LONDESBOROUGH UNITED
CHURCH
It seems a long time since
Christians around the
world were preparing for
the Christmas season. After
all, by the time you read
this column it will be mid-
January. Being shut in by
the winter snow machine of
last week means almost a
lost week unless you were
productive with chores
indoors.
Rev. Fletcher posed an
interesting question to the
children present at Londes-
borough United Church on
Christmas, "What if it was
your birthday and a great
party was had but you
weren't invited?" He
reminded the children that
Jesus' birthday is coming
and all of us are celebrat-
ing. We mustn't forget to
acknowledge Christ's birth-
day and invite Him to our
party.
The gift of LOVE was
born that first Christmas.
Christianity is the largest
religion in the world. Just
consider how many per-
sons celebrated Christ's
birthday!
Rev. Fletcher lead a
meaningful service of
familiar readings and car-
ols for the well attended
Christmas Eve service on
December 24th. Flowers on
the communion table were
placed in memory of Tom
Duizer by his family.
As usual music was an
integral part of the evening.
Barb Bosman and Marsha
Szusz offered organ and
piano accompaniment for
the singing of carols.
Churchgoers also enjoyed
their duets during the
receiving of the offering
and as service postludes.
Laurel Mitchell sang a
lovely solo, "Breath of
Heaven" also known as
"Mary's Song": The senior
choir as a whole sang a
"Hushing Carol": The ladies
of the choir offered "Child
of Love" and the men sang
"March of the Three Kings":
Flowers on the Memorial
Stand on Sunday, January
11th were placed by the
family of Audrey Mitchell
who passed away on
January 4th after a battle
with cancer. Please keep
her family and friends in
your thoughts and prayers
as they grieve. Audrey was a
former resident of
Londesborough.
Churchgoers that Sunday
morning were treated to a
solo by Barb Bosman who
sang "If I Can Help Some-
one': Early in the new year
as people think about reso-
lutions this song delivered
an appropriate message.
The children who gath-
ered at the front for their
time with Terry Fletcher
talked about snow. After a
week of flurries there
appears to be heaps of
snow around. Those piles
are made up
of single tiny snowflakes
which under a microscope
are seen to be made up of
individual crystals. After
several guesses as to how
many drops/molecules of
water make up each unique
single snowflake Terry
revealed that there are 10
quintillion crystals in each
flake, making each one dif-
ferent from all others.
All children seem alike in
form also but all are differ-
ent having special gifts and
abilities.
And God has made us
that way and He knows all
about each of us and cares
for us.
It would seem reasona-
ble that the family of
Joseph, Mary and Jesus
would appreciate some
quiet together time fol-
lowing the events around
the birth of the Christ
child. However, Joseph
learned from an angel in a
dream about the terrible
decree of Herod. Immedi-
ately the family made the
600 km trek to safety in
Egypt. What a difficult trip
that must have been with
a two year old and the fear
of soldiers always in their
minds.
It seems they must just
have settled in Egypt when
two years later Joseph
learned din a dream again
that the family should now
return to their homeland.
The family settled in
Nazareth.
But what a story of
endurance and strength to
be found in Matthew

2:13-23. It is a story of who
persons listened to and
obeyed the bidding of God.
The coziness of the stable
was replaced by the travels.
It is a hard spiritual truth
that the coming of the
Light/Christ was met with
hardship. The good news is
that God will provide for us
when we fulfill His purpose
for us. In all difficult times
God stands with us.
The responsive psalm
that morning was Psalm 27.
