He had suffered terribly since his diagnosis two years ago but passed away at home with his mother, Ann, by his side. Bob and Ann Potter moved to the village from Toronto approximately 25 -years ago. Gordon joined his parents some time later after giving up his job in an insulation factory. Thereafter he helped out his parents around their home and tended to the needs of his disabled brother, Alan, until Alan took up resi- dence at Breamar. Left to mourn his passing are Ann, Alan and his sister, Sandra and her daughter, Amanda Avery. Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers. For 30 grade eight stu- dents last Tuesday even- ing was bittersweet. Although they were/are excited to be leaving ele- mentary school behind and take that next step in their education, they also recognized not all of them will be together in their secondary education. Their world will suddenly be much bigger than the halls of Hullett Central Pub- lic School. However Hul- lett's staff has taught them skills for coping with the world and the future along with book knowledge. The parents who accom- panied the students to their graduation cere- mony and dinner may well have not recognized the youth. Could these self- assured teenagers be the same timid children who entered kindergarten ten years ago? Wasn't that just two or three years ago? And dressed to the nines for the occasion they couldn't have been the same boys and girls who got on the bus that very same morning. The graduation events were held at the Blyth Com- munity Centre. Dinner for the 120 attendees was organized by ladies of the Londesborough United Church. Serving and wait- ing tables was handled by the pupils of grade seven whose mothers also sup- plied desserts. Grade eight parents, Nancy Snell of NJS Design and Greyhaven Gardens transformed the space for the evening. Following dinner awards were presented. Always a fun part of the evening was the Powerp- Point presentation that chronicles the years/activ- ities the youth have spent at Hullett and their grad pictures. Twenty-three students received Hullett H's for their involvement in their school community through academics, ath- leticism and volunteering. Congratulations from the community of Londesbor- ough and best wishes for the years ahead. May life hold only good things for all of you. Awards for the primary track and field held at Hullett on June 15 are as follows. Girls Grade one: Emily Josling, MacKenzie Smith, Tyler Boven. Grade two: Olivia Decker, Audrey Kreuger, Kyra Haa. Grade three: Ashley Rad- ford, Macey Adams, Nyla Pawitch. Boys Grade one: Colton Rad- ford, Brady Finch, Sheldon Lee. Grade two: Kaden Mac- Donald, Hayden Lee, Tyson Finch. Grade three: Connor Dale, Shea Cox, Oliver Sawchuck and Cal Taylor. LONDESBOROUGH UNITED CHURCH In May of 2014 Terry Fletcher, who had been a student minister in the pulpit at Londesborough United and Knox United in Auburn for five -years, was accepted into the ministry of the United Church of Canada, Lon- don Conference and Huron/Perth Presbytery. On Sunday, June 28 the congregations of Londes- borough and Auburn offi- cially accepted him through a Covenanting Service lead by Mary McI- ntosh at Londesborough United. On behalf of London Con- ference Ken Hunking pre- sented Terry with a certifi- cate recognizing his talent and qualifications for reli- gious knowledge and leadership. Rev. Fletcher was pre- sented symbols of minis- try. A Bible, the living word, and a loaf and a jug signifying Terry's presence at the communion table were presented by Doug Trewartha. The ministry of music was represented with the offer of a hymn book by Barb Bosman. Shelley Worsell's gift acknowledged continued growth as a faith commu- nity. Hospitality and fel- lowship were embodied in the coffee cup and muffin offered by Laura Scott. A small stuffed sheep signi- fying Terry's pastoral care was presented by Darrell Bergsma. Terry's message that morning, working together, was supported by the Luke 5:1-11. In these verses we learn how Jesus called Simon Peter to be a disciple. During His ministry Jesus had many followers who lis- tened to His teachings from the hillsides and shores, spectators and lis- teners to His work. Jesus, who is all-powerful, didn't need disciples to help with arrangements. He needed doers to help grow the church, to continue his work, which was the reason for calling disci- ples to travel with Him. Today the need is the same. As Rev. Fletcher noted Christianity does not end when we leave a church service. What a person does during the rest of the week is the work of a disciple, which is what is important. Terry thanked the congregations of both churches for being co -participants with him in the life and work of their churches. A quote in the order of ser- vice attributed to an unknown author reinforced the message: "Teamwork divides the task and multi- plies the success." During the receiving of the offering the senior choir sang Walk a Little Slower, My Friend. Sunday services and Wednesday's coffee and conversation will resume in August.
