Rev. Murray talks of family difficulties
Rex. James Murray welcomed
exeryone on Sept. 5 to Dutt's
United Church. After opening the
serxice he announced that there
xxas a young lady celebrating her
KOth birthday. Everyone clapped
and sang Happy Birthday to
Margaret Craig. Her daughter
Sherrill Christian came all the way
from Oceanviexx. Delaware to help
celebrate the occasion.
Rev. Murray’s sermon was
called. “Together we have the
Power”. He told the story of a
young boy who was having a lot of
problems following the divorce of
his parents. The weekends he spent
with his alcoholic father were filled
with verbal abuse. The father
blamed the boy for. the breakup of
the marriage and also for his
drinking.
Rev. Murray was called in to
help the young man see that it was
not normal and that it was not his
fault at all. It was his father's
problem and not his.
But the boy had never
experienced anything different, so
he didn’t know what was his fault,
and what he should be able to
expect from his father. The boy did
not understand that he had the right
to ask something more of his
father. He didn't know he could
refuse to visit his father when he
was drunk and passed out.
It's hard to do the right thing,
when you've never seen it done
before, said Rev. Murray. St. Paul
was one person who knew the

Well, it’s time to get back into
the swing of things. I hope that
everyone has had a rest and is
ready to meet the next busy months
with renewed energy.

French exchange student Amandine
Feuchot to Walton. She is living
with the Emmrichs and she will be
attending Seaforth high school in
Grade 11. She came in August and
will leave Oct. 31. Katie Emmrich

well at the Emmrich household.

money to spend,” Cox said. As
well as the $45,000 cost there
would also be costs of preparing
the systems at the two homes to be
hooked up to the generator.
“We thought it was a lot of
money for a band-aid solution",
said Brian McBurney, reeve of
Turnberry, pointing out the genera
tor wouldn't serve both homes at
the same time and would have to be
moved between them.
The concern at the homes is not
so much with an electrical failure
but with a natural gas failure con
nected to the problem of computers
not adapting to the turn of the mil
lennium.
Warden Carol Mitchell said from
attending a meeting held by the dis
trict health council on the Year
2000 (Y2K) problem she worried
that people are counting on the
homes being prepared. “I believe
Huronview and Huronlea will be
support places people will turn to if
there was a problem. I believe
there's a perception out there that
we will be ready for any Y2K prob

importance of having a good
example to follow. This is why his
preaching is so focused on Jesus
Christ.
“For Paul. Jesus was the perfect
example of what doing the right
thing looked like, which is why we
should put our trust in him. and
have faith in Jesus.”
Paul knew people can't live by
laws alone. On their own they are
not enough. This is why he echoes
Jesus’ words.
“We act most lovingly when we
help each other,” said Rev. Murray.
Both Paul and Jesus believed that
loving actions are what helps
people. With faith in God through
Jesus, people can find healing,
hope, forgiveness and purpose for
their lives. When they work
together as fellow Christians, they
can ..bare this same power with
those aro’md them, so even more
can come to vnow of the power of
Christ.
“Together we do have the power
to make a difference. “Where two
or three are gathered in my name, I
am there among them.”w=The news from

A Review of activities at
SEAFORTH COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
NUTRITION AND FOOD SERVICES UPDATE The Nutrition
and Food Services department restructured in October 1998 as part
of the Huron Perth Hospitals Partnership “Hostess Style Service”
project. This is an innovative and unique patient focused system. The
menu is a common menu in use by all 8 partner hospitals. The
kitchen now uses many standardized practices, and many sourced
foods. Some foods continue to be made on site. The best mix of
sourced and in house is still being fine tuned. The menu includes
popular foods that meet a range of nutritional requirements. Food
services staff visit patients immediately prior to meal service and ask
patients their food preferences. Trays are “built” directly outside
patient rooms. We have taken “Comments” seriously to thoughtfully
fine tune “Hostess Style Service”.
Please keep sending us your comments while in hosptial, both the
good and not so good (be as specific as possible)! Your comments
are valued. For further information, please call Rose McMaster at
519-527-1650 Ext. 262 or Barb Major-McEwan at 519-357-3210
Ext. 276.
