Londesborogh News
Brenda Radford
Special to the News Record
Those of us who live outside
of town in more rural areas are
used to seeing swallows in the
summer. They like to swoop over
the gardens and lawns and pes-
ter dogs and cats. Nests in the
rafters of barns and sheds are
commonplace. This spring we
had a pair try to build their nest
right on the brick wall of the
house just under the roof over-
hang. Try is the right word for I
wasn't long knocking it down!
All this is preamble for an
explanation of those wooden
structures I asked about last
week. Two men offered the
same explanation. They have
been erected to entice swallows
in the area to nest under the
roof. Swallows apparently nest
under culverts and bridges and
if construction is planned for an
area the structure is built well in
advance.
This made sense for the one
east of Clinton along Hwy 8 was
built in the area of last summer's
roadwork along there.
The Londesborough Happy
Gang Seniors will meet in the
Londesborough United Church
basement on Wednesday, June
29, at 12:30 p.m. for a pot
luck. All seniors are welcome.
This seniors' group was respon-
sible for the June Birthday cele-
brations at Huronlea on June 15.
They enlisted Londesborough
United's senior choir to help. It
was a pleasant hour and a
chance to visit with folks whom
we don't see on a regular basis.
The seniors learned recently
that one of their own, Florence
Snell, has been experiencing
some health issues. She would
surely appreciate a card, a call
and your prayers.
LONDESBOROUGH
UNITED CHURCH
The senior choir was in the
choir loft to offer a musical
number for Father's Day at
Londesborough United Church
on Sunday, June 19.
During the children's time,
Rev. Fletcher talked about the
importance of celebrating
Father's Day. Like many others
he regrets not spending more
time with his father and listen-
ing to his stories. Consequently
he encouraged everyone to visit
their fathers when they can to
share stories, to learn about
their lives and get an insight into
their feelings about life.
Terry's adult message was
"The Words we Use,'in this case
the words/names we use to des-
ignate a father. The supporting
scripture passages were Prov-
erbs 4: 1-5 and John 8: 18 & 19.
The responsive reading was
Psalm 103.
Father is a very formal term
that is not often used for an
earthly parent. Instead each lan-
guage has its own more familial
terms such as Pater,
Fader, Daddy, Dad, Papa, Old
Man, etc. most of which have
their origins in the first sounds a
baby makes.
When the disciples asked
Jesus how they should talk to
God His reply was as if speaking
to their father. For God, as Jesus
said, is His Father or Abba and is
the heavenly Father of us all.
Ergo our relationship with God
should be like our relationship
with our earthly father. And we
need to know God and learn His
love. The disciples were consid-
ered by Jesus to be part of His
family together with all His fol-
lowers. Those who are commit-
ted to doing God's will are all
Christ's family.
Many of us were fans of the
TV show M*A*S*H. A quote on
the order of service came from
Colonel Potter: "I don't care
how poor a man is; if he has
family he is rich."
June 26 will be the last service
for Londesborough United until
August 2. Rev. Fletcher will be on
holidays for the month of July.
Congregants are encouraged to
worship elsewhere for the month.
The Decoration Service for
Ball's Cemetery is July 3 at 3:00
p.m. Guest speaker is Rev. Paul
Ross. Special music by "The
Harbouraires". Everyone is
welcome.
