This year's national service will be held on Sunday, De- cember 12 at 7 p, m, in the United Church, The public is invited to attend this interde- nominational service which will be conducted in thousands of churches across Canada, The service of worship was prepared by Miss Janet Wolverton of Van- couver. The offerings received are not used in Wingham but are sent to support the work of the National C. G. I. T. Com- mittee of the Canadian Coun- cil of Churches. The C.G.I. T. will form the choir for two special numbers and will lead the congregation in many Christmas hymns. The highlight of the service is the candle -lighting ceremony which is conducted by the group presidents. Wingham C. G. I. T. has six groups, each with its own lead- er and executive. Since Mrs. J. McDowell expects to move to Mt. Forest soon a new lead- er, Mrs. Ron Bell, was welcom- ed this week.

The girls plan to go carol- ling for shut-ins and to make favours to leave with them. They also plan to collect can- ned food for needy families rather than to exchange gifts.
