There are villagers who are affected by his passing. James Mason, who lives in the apartment above the old res- taurant is a nephew; John Bernier is also a nephew; Wayne Biesinger is a brother. The village expresses condo- lence to these men and their families on this loss. And just FYI, the lower apart- ment of the former restaurant is occupied by Janet Szusz who many of you will recognize from Greyhaven Gardens. One of Louis and Nancy Greidanus' daughter, Katrina and her children, have moved into the apartment above the former post office. We will need to be vigilante about that comer with three young children in residence knowing how care- free youngsters can be. Remember, it takes a village to raise a child - according to an old adage. The end of the school year 2014-2015 is quickly coming to a close and the month of June seems filled with year- end activities/adventures. The calendar shows trips to the Hamilton Warplane Museum, the Wawanosh Nature Centre, African Lion Safari, Camp Kintail and Camp Celtic. Add some swim lessons, a primary track and field day and the band to Wonderland to play and the days will be full. So, if you are in the school area be on the alert for buses coming and going. Londesborough United Church Listening to the scripture passages and the message delivered by members of the Londesborough UCW made one realize that the more things change the more they stay the same. During the first century of the Christian church the Apostle Paul was preaching to small groups of followers and on more then one occasion was imprisoned for his teach- ings. His letter to his friend Timothy, another Christian teacher, 2 Timothy 1:1-14, arrived at a turbulent time for Timothy's church. Paul's letter from prison was meant to revive the flame of faith in that congregation. Seems that church, like so many others of the time, was struggling with keeping mem- bers young and old faithful and committed, etcetera, in a time of tension and confu- sion. Sound familiar? Today's congregations are struggling with the same issues. During this past year as President of London Conference, Jeff Crittenden found himself visiting and helping churches that were in transition, that were strug- gling with faith issues and some that were closing. The service presented at Londesborough United Church on Sunday, June 7 included stories of faith he learned during that year. The theme for Jeff's year was "At the Crossroads': Today's churches, like the early churches, are at a crossroads of faith because being a disci- ple of Christ is not easy in a world that is often messy, complicated and confusing. As well as being encourag- ing, Paul's letter contained one line that is/was important to Christians of all ages, "Rekindle the Flame that is within you" The flame of faith that nur- tures and supports, the grace of God that nourishes and Clinton Spring Fair talent search winners For the News Record The Clinton Spring Fair is paying tribute to its Rise to Fame tal- ent search winners. In the junior cate- gory, The Small Wonders, Emily Plumsteel, Ava Stoneman and Ava McCutcheon of Clin- ton placed first with their dance group routine. Emily Plumsteel placed second with her dance solo and Ava Stoneman placed third with her dance solo. In the youth cate- gory, Taylor Pollard of Ripley placed first with her dance solo.

It was a small show but still dis- played the wonder- ful talent the area has to showcase. loves you and the hope that is within each of us, the faith tra- dition that has been passed through the ages. If Paul could remain true and optimistic despite his troubles, today's Christians can continue to love and serve, welcome and care, meeting God at the crossroads of our lives and pass on faith. Taking part in the service were Ann Adams, Lynda Hor- banuik, Laura Scott, Joan Whyte and Brenda Radford. Catherine Allen spent time with the children gathered at the front. From the bag she had packed children drew out a bathroom scale, a measur- ing cup, measuring spoons, a watch, a yardstick and a points card. The children realized that all the items were involved in measuring aspects of our lives - weight, food, distance and time. The question was asked, "What in our lives cannot be measured?" Love in our lives overflows and cannot be measured the children recognized. Other scripture passages that morning were Matthew 7: 24-29 and Psalm 139. A singing duo, Laurel Mitch- ell and Marjorie Duizer made their debut during the service and favoured congregants with two numbers, How Many Roads (Must a Man Walk Down) and I Have a Dream. Sunday, June 14 was Sun- day school promotion and award Sunday. Everyone was invited to stay for a potluck lunch following the service. The Londesborough UCW met on Monday, June 15. Barb Knox of Camp Menesetung was the guest speaker. Ladies are encouraged to bring along items for the camp as outlined in their wish list, everything form craft supplies to first aid items.
