everyone to harvest party

The expression "hanging fire" is used in circum-
stances when an action is delayed or when someone is
slow to take action. Early guns, slow to fire their charge
after the gunpowder in the touch -hole was lit, were said
to "hang fire':
The opposite of this is the term "going off at half-
cock; another expression from the early days of guns.
When the hammer of a gun is fully cocked the gun is
ready to fire. However, if the gun discharges when sup-
posedly the safety is on, the discharge would be a sur-
prise and a wasted shot. This was termed "going off at
half-cock': When something happens before one is pre-
pared this term is used to describe the
disappointment.
This week ponder on the expression "going for a
song".
John Lyons is again apatient in University Hospital. It
has been decided it is time for major surgery. Please
keep him and Helen inyour thoughts and prayers.
Radford's Fane Equipment/Post Office invite you to
find time to drop by on Oct. 29 for coffee, a sweet treat
and some conversation in support of the Alzheimer
Society of Huron County.
Londesborough United Church
As Rev. Fletcher explained to the children when they
gathered at the front of the sanctuary, an anniversary
service is a celebration much like a birthday party. That
was definitely the feeling at Londesborough United
Church on Oct. 25, one of happiness and celebration.
Much fellowship and greetings were shared and
friendships renewed when everyone gathered
downstairs for alight lunch following the service.
Terry told the children that he got lost recently and
his map was in tatters. Then he remembered that God
knew where he was as He is always there to look out for
His children. Rev. Fletcher put his faith in the God of
caring he found in Psalm 39.
Helping Londesborough United celebrate 155 years
of faith were The Men of Note, a choir of persons from
across Huron County. These men have a mission to
share God's word through everything they sing. That
moming they raised their voices and the spirits of those
in attendance with several numbers including By Faith
and Spear O Lord.
Londesborough United's senior choir offered the
anthem Take It to Jesus during the receiving of the
offering.
Rev. Marion Jackson Tyler brought the anniversary
message and chose John 12: 24-26 as her supporting
New Testament scripture and Psalm 1 as the responsive
psalm.
Her message was titled "Three Grains of Wheat:
These three grains signify the past, the present and the
future. The hymn sung just previous to the message
speaks of putting a dying seed into the ground. In arural
community everyone recognizes that a farmer must
risk that planting andburyingin order for more to grow.
One must let go of that seed for it to multiply.
Marion noted that today's grain is a gift from the past,
lastyear's crop.
Marion drew analogies to the immigrants and home-
steaders who settled our country. They knew they had
to let go of their past and their former life, take ariskand
move on.
These ancestors were adventurers who can
teach much about seeing the present and future as
promising. Learning from and then letting go of
the past will bring a stronger promising faith today
and into the future. In a world dealing with refu-
gees and natural disasters, Christians must let go
of their sense of privilege and support mission ser-
vices so others can benefit from our support. Jesus
let go of His earthly life for all Christians. By letting
go of fear and learning to trust Christians mature
in their faith.
Rev. Tyler encouraged everyone at this anniversary
service to imagine holding the three grains of wheat.
Then move on by letting go of the past and be risk tak-
ers. Be compassionate in today's world and put trust for
the future in God, others and themselves. By living lives
oflove and service Christians will have an abundance of
love and life.

vest party on Nov 1. The afternoon begins with a pot
