Bridge closed to traffic near Londesborough
Fletcher discusses Israel trip
A ‘Celebration of Life’ for Arnold
Riley was held at the
Londesborough Community Hall on
Friday, Dec. 14. Many area folk
were there that afternoon to share
memories and remember the good
times. Arnold lost his fight with
cancer on Dec. 8.
Arnold and Bev lived much of
their married life on Arnold’s family
farm east of the village. Arnold spent
his entire working life, some 50
years, as a barber in Clinton. He was
a faithful member of the Clinton
Kinsmen. Golfing filled many hours
for Arnold in recent years which led
to a hobby of golf club repair.Your concern and prayers for Bevand the family will surely help themdeal with their loss and adjust to life
without him.
Harlock Line is barely two miles
in length and connects Blyth Road
with Londesborough Road at the
point where it meets Sawmill Road.
Debbie Wray, who lives on Harlock
Line, called last week to say that the
bridge on the line has been closed.
She was unable to get a clear answer
from the municipality as to whether
this is a permanent or temporary
closure. Debbie wanted to make
others aware that they need to
change travel plans if they are used
to going north along that line. She
also suggested anyone concerned
should make their feelings known to
the municipality.
From George Matthews Adams:
“Let us remember that the Christmas
heart is a giving heart, a wide open
heart that thinks of others first. The
birth of the Baby Jesus stands as the
most significant event in all history
because it has meant the pouringinto the world the healing medicineof love which has transformed allmanner of hearts for almost two
thousand years....Underneath all the
bulging bundles is this beating
Christmas heart.”
In Holland the Dutch Santa Claus,
or Sinter Klaas, visits on Dec. 6 with
his assistant, Black Peter.
Apparently Black Peter is the keeper
of the naughty or nice book about
children. Only a small percentage of
Japanese people are Christians so
the country celebrates the custom of
gift giving and the togetherness of
the season. Their Christmas figure is
Hoteiosho who brings gifts.
In Christian China Chinese
Christmas trees are called trees of
light and Santa Claus is Dun Che
Lao Ren which means ‘Christmas
Old Man’. Non Christian Chinese
call the season the spring festival.
They pay respect to their ancestors
and the children receive many gifts.
Firecracker displays are common. In
Greece gifts are exchanged on Jan.
1, St. Basil’s Day.Mexicans start their Christmascelebrations on Dec. 16. The birth ofChrist is very much the central
theme of the days of celebration and
nativity scenes and enactments are
poplar. Children receive gifts on
Christmas Eve from el Nino Dios.
On Jan. 6 they are gifted again by the
Magi.
As this is the last issue of the
newspaper before Christmas, John
and I wish each of you a pleasant
holiday season whatever the
traditions are in your home and may
all your Christmas wishes come true.May you take the joy of Christmaswith you every day of 2013.We have already received a most
precious Christmas gift, a new
grandchild. Amelia Elizabeth
Radford was born on Dec. 8 in
Montreal to Brent and Jenny.
Perhaps your Christmas spirit will
be boosted if you take in the
Christmas performance at Hullett
Central School on Thursday
morning beginning at 9 a.m. It
features pupils from Kindergarten to
Grade 4.
Pastor Terry Fletcher lit the third
candle of Advent at Londesborough
United Church on Sunday, Dec. 16.
He lit the pink candle, the candle of
‘joy’. The senior choir sang an
anthem titled, “Glory to God”.
An experience Terry had during
his recent trip to Israel was
discussed with the children who
came to the front. Terry referred to
the words in the Bible which state
that a sheep knows well the voice of
his shepherd. While in Nazareth the
group happened upon a shepherd
with a lone sheep and queried him
about this. Each person in the tour
group individually called the sheep,
all with no response from the sheep.
Then the shepherd walked off a
piece and called his sheep.
Immediately the sheep ran to the
shepherd.
Terry reminded the children that
they need to be listening for the
sound of God calling them, telling
them right from wrong, etc. All
Christians need to be listening to
follow Him.
“The Response to Joy” was the
title of Terry’s message to the adults
that morning. Supporting scriptures
were Isaiah 43:19 and Luke 1:46-55.
In Isaiah, God tells the prophet
about His plans for the world. The
Luke verses are Mary’s response to
the news of her pregnancy. The
responsive psalm was Psalm 100.
Mr. Fletcher suggested that in
light of the distressing news of
shootings in the United States, it is
important for everyone to focus on
the joy in this season. And he stated
that one should respond to the
thought involved in a gift, not
necessarily on the gift itself.
Mary, a central figure in religions,
responded with joy, not with fear or
worry or any number of other
emotions, when she learned the
news of her pregnancy.
Following the visit by the angel to
assure him, Joseph, too, responded
with acceptance and joy to this birth.
Joy is an awareness of what
Christmas is all about. Terry asked,
“Do you share your blessings with
joy to all the world?” That choice is
our response to life.
Laurel Mitchell read the day’s
‘Minute for Missions’ titled “The
Wheels on the Bus”. Children from
St. James United Church in
Montreal were bused out to the
Quinn Farm on Ile-Perrot. They
spent the day learning about life on
Please accept this
load of good cheer,
along with our thanks
for your business this year!
Have a great holiday!
