Home My WebLink AboutClinton News Record, 2015-05-13, Page 19Celebrating Mother's Day with a little Dr. Seuss Brenda Radford Special to the News Record Directed by pianist Barb Bosman a male choir shared their musical talent at Londesborough United Church on Mothers' Day, May 10. They sang two lively numbers from the new More Voices United hymnal, Come 0 Holy Spirit and Water Flowing from the Mountain. There were many floral tributes beautifying the sanctuary that morning placed there by the Tamblyn family, the Postma family, the Bosman family and John and Jane Hoggart in memory of family members. During the children's time at the front Terry Fletcher recounted one of his favourite children's story, Are You My Mother? The book is a collaboration between Phillip Eastman, who was an animator with Disney and Theodore Grey- zel, better known as Dr. Seuss. A newborn nestling fell out of its nest while its mother was off looking for food for it. He went on a search for his mother and encountered a cat, a dog and a cow all of whom replied they were not his mother. Eventually the wee bird climbed into the bucket of a large steam shovel. The driver of the shovel lifted the bird safely back into it's nest and mother was there to feed him. Terry remarked that he liked this little story because the driver of the machine cared enough to look after the nestling, like a mother would. To him this shows that help comes from any and every one in this world. During his message to the adults gathered that morn- ing Rev. Fletcher used a variety of writings from over the years that described motherhood and why moth- ers deserve to be honoured with a special day. Mothers have influenced the lives and future of their children; they gave us both roots and wings. God is a parent as well reaching out to give us unconditional love. The sup- porting scripture passages were Ephesians 5:25-33; 6:1-3 and from Sirach 3:1-6, all passages offering reasons for respecting mothers. At the conclusion of the service, the Sunday school children entered the sanctu- ary and gave all the women a spring annual to take home.

This is an annual, non-juried exhibition and features the creations of dozens of Huron County's professional and hobby artists. The work will be accepted on the morning of Saturday, May 23, and the show opens the same even- ing in the Bainton Gallery, situated in the Blyth Memo- rial Hall beside the Festival box office. The exhibition runs until June 19. Included among the pieces on exhibit will be a wide range of media, from oil paintings and acryl- ics to photography, ceramics, and glass. Not even the show curator is ever sure what exactly will be shown until the artists bring in their crea- tions on Saturday morning. Artists are asked to bring their works (maximum of two) to the gallery on Satur- day, May 23, between 9 a.m. and 12 noon.
