Yet it is heard on tele- vision talent shows and has been performed on stages, in churches and in schools around the globe. This song defines the importance of compassion and inspiration when achieving something worth- while. The inspiration for this song was the familiar Irish song "Danny Boy". Composer Norwegian Rolf Lovland wrote the melody in 2002 and Brenda Graham supplied the words that declare we never do any- thing alone. The song recognizes that everyone has someone there for him or her in the defining moments of life making it an emotional event for singers. Last weekend some games and activities were profes- sionally painted on the blacktop on the senior side of Hullett Central School. Rumour has it the students have definitely been enjoy- ing them. This major pur- chase was possible through funds raised at the recent Carnival and Auction. The SAC has plans for more play- ground purchases this summer. Curiosity has got the bet- ter of me, so I'm asking! Recently a tall wooden struc- ture was built on the west side of London Road just south of the bridge. I've noticed some others in the area as well. But, what are they for? If you give me an answer I'll pass it on in this space. LONDESBOROUGH UNITED CHURCH Oliver Clayton Groves began his personal faith journey at Londesborough United Church on Sunday, June 12. His parents, Jeff Groves and Molly Hor- banuik, presented their son for Baptism to Rev. Terry Fletcher. The young family was introduced to con- gregants by Grandmother Lynda Horbanuik and there were many family members on hand to witness the event. UCW president Helen Lobb presented the family with a Baptism candle and Oliver's first Bible. Oliver's cousins gathered at the front and Rev. Fletcher talked with them about the water in the font. He explained that the water they watched him pour into the font was just plain water. Then during the Baptism, a blessing of the water was asked of God so the water used would bless and wel- come Oliver into the Church. "Let God Do It" was the title of the message to the adults. Rev. Fletcher chose Mark 10: 13-27 as the morn- ing New Testament scrip- ture. These verses are an account of the young man who wished to enter the Kingdom of God but was loathe to give up his earthly possessions. As Terry remarked, all people love their 'things. They are our way of sending a message to the world about how our life is going, of how successful we are. But sometimes that message is false. Those who look the most successful can be racked with self- doubt and troubles because something is missing in their lives. This was the dif- ficulty for the young man in the scripture. "Things" will not get you into the Kingdom of Heaven. Terry suggested that if you are not the person you want to be change can come with the help of God. He suggested we need to 'let go' and 'let God'. He will help us become truly fulfilled people. A Yiddish proverb from 1949 sums it up - "Pearls around the neck - stones upon the heart': Marsha Szusz was pianist for the morning service. UCW members are asked to bring along a donation for Camp Menesetung to the meeting on June 20th. The camp's 'wish list' is posted in the Sunday school room. The choir is up to some- thing! Come out on June 26th to see what.
