The Kingdom of God is
won by love, not power or
goods. That love in us is
stronger than temptation/sin
and takes us to the cross.
During this Lenten season
Rev. Fletcher urged con-
gregants to create a fresh face
for God in our daily lives; to
rely on God who draws near
to us in times of temptation;
to use the season wisely in
the spirit of love to all.
The morning service at
Londesborough United on
February 21 will be at 9:39
a.m. to accommodate the
annual meeting at Knox in
Auburn.
Londesborough UCW
The program/meditation
time at the February meeting
of the Londesborough UCW
on February 15 also had a
love theme. Laura Scott
began by reading verses from
1 Corinthians 13, a well
known passage about the
qualities of love. Following
the teachings of Christ and
His disciples, people made
the remark that, "They must
be Christians. Look how they
love one another.
The later Christian teacher,
Paul, who was converted
after a vision on the road to
Damascus, ended up in jail
for his teachings. While
imprisoned he wrote 21 let-
ters to the early Christian
churches to encourage them
to follow God's teachings and
to stress that they must con-
tinue to love one another.
Those letters would have
been delivered by messenger.
A more modern day mes-
senger, albeit fictional, is
Cupid. Laura related one
story which may have been
the origins of Valentine's Day.
Saint Valentine, it is recorded,
restored the sight of Julia, the
daughter of Claudius, his
jailer. Seems some time later
St. Valentine sent a note to
Julia for her to enjoy because
now she could see it.
The ladies were asked
then when they last received
a letter in the mail and how it
made them feel. The answer,
of course, was that it made
them feel special and
loved. Harriett Shillinglaw
gave each of the women a
note card and suggested
they send a note to someone
and in that way send them
love.
Harriett then told the
group a personal love story.
Two young ladies were intro-
duced at church in the early
1900's in Montreal. They
became best friends and
remained so all their lives.
Lily and her husband even-
tually had 10 children while
Mary and her husband had
none of their own. Eventu-
ally Lily's health suffered and
she felt it would be best for
her daughter, Violet, to be
raised by Mary and her hus-
band. Violet was given to
Mary out of love and Violet
was raised with love. God's
love was shown through the
unselfish love of two moth-
ers. Violet was Harriett's
mother.
During the business por-
tion of the evening the ladies
learned that the 'spruce -up'
day in advance of April 4
Spring Fling has been
changed to March 23 at 11
a.m. There will also be a blan-
ket making day at the church
on March 2. All ladies are
encouraged to come out to
help and enjoy some fellow-
ship at the same time.
Erica Baxter reported that
denim had been cut for 100
pairs of shoes for the 'sole
hope' project.
The UCW will meet again
as a whole on March 21 for
their annual World day of
Prayer service. The entire
community is invited to
attend.
