(Denny Scott photo) Four teenagers publicly professed their faith to God and their Londesborough United Church family on Sunday, May 31 through confirmation. Quinn Driscoll, Sydney Hunking, Avery Whyte and Sean Whyte have spent weeks with Rev. Fletcher pondering their faith and learning what it means to be a full-fledged member of their congregation. Londesborough United took pride in welcoming the youth and congratulated them for accepting the responsibility that comes with membership. Confirmation coincided with Trinity Sunday and ‘trinity’ was one of the beliefs the confirmands discussed. The Doctrine of Trinity inherent in Christianity is rejected by other faiths of the world. This belief was accepted as early as 300AD in order to describe the fullness of God – as three-fold – Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Early Christian leaders recognized it is above man’s capacity to understand this fullness of God’s nature, it must be a faith belief. God as creator; Jesus as the redeemer; Holy Spirit as sanctifier makes the persona understandable. Persona is defined as all the aspects of one; like layers of one. Each human has various aspects to their life - family, career, hobbies, interests, etc. - making up the entire one. The good news is that there is still just one God. Christians can think of the Trinity also as God is, Jesus did and the Holy Spirit continues to open the minds and hearts of people. Supporting scriptures for the message by Rev. Fletcher were Romans 12:3-8, Deut. 29;29 and responsive psalm, Psalm 111. Assisting Rev. Fletcher with the sacrament of Communion were Cheryl Trewartha, Traci Radford, Bev Riley, Lawrence Bergsma and Grant Bergsma. The senior choir sang “That Judgement Mornin”. Church welcomes four new members in confirmation service NEWS FROM LONDESBORO Broken Washer? Blyth Laundromat 191 Westmoreland St., Blyth 519-523-9687 By BRENDA RADFORD Call 523-4296 PEOPLE AROUND LONDESBORO Watch for ticks, Lyme Disease The sign at the Seaforth Veterinary Clinic is probably causing many smiles. It tells passersby to “Check your friends for ticks.” It made me think of that country song in which the young man asks his sweetheart to a picnic and promises to check her for ticks. We are hearing much these days about Lyme Disease and being warned about being on the alert for ticks so perhaps the sign extends beyond our cats and dogs after all. Bob Trick thought this month’s particular mystery item would be of particular interest to me. Puzzle it for the week. John Lyons is back in University Hospital dealing again with infection in his leg. Doctors are investigating a couple of options in an attempt to make him more comfortable. Vera [Lyon] Bell from British Columbia visited in the area for a short time last week. While here she spent time with Bert and Joanne Lyon and Bill and Bev Shaddick. Bev took her to Goderich Place to catch up with Ruth Vincent, Helen Lee and Gail Lear. In last week’s space I neglected to offer thanks from the Lions Club to Bev and Helen Wallace for permitting the ‘swimming of the ducks’ on their corner property recently. The weather brought out a good crowd of spectators. What could it be? Londesborough correspondent Brenda Radford enjoys her visits with Bob Trick as they usually involve some sort of mystery item, like the one shown above. Can you figure out what it is? Check this space in the June 11 issue of The Citizen for the answer. (Brenda Radford photo)
