Vera Penfound welcomed the
Walkerbum club to her home on
Jan. 26 with an excellent
attendance. Members were pleased
to welcome Jackie McNee and
Audrey Boonstoppel.
This was quilting day. One quilt
was on the frame so the club picked
up their needles and went to work.
It was a large quilt but many hands
make less work so it was done
quite quickly.
The business meeting was held.
Vera opened with a suitable poem
"Snow" followed by Ethel Ball
offering prayer.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and treasurer Bernice
Norman gave her report. One
hundred dollars had been donated
for "Ice Storm Relief' but $156.65

hand.

through a special 1-888 number.
The Olympic Connections Line,
1-888-439-TEAM (8326), prompts
callers to leave a message for their
favourite athlete on Canada's
Olympic Team. Messages will be
transcribed and sent via the Internet
to special e-mail addresses created
for athletes and accessed at the
Olympic Village in Nagano.
"The Olympics are special for
everyone," says Bruce Barr, Bell's
group vice-president, marketing
communications and retail sales.
"Were proud to „lend our service to
The invitation to worship was
based on Psalm 71. "In God, we
hope and in God, we trust. He is
our rock and our fortress."
The hymn that followed was The
Wise May Bring their Learning.
This was followed by prayer, a
confession of sins to God and His
assurance of pardon.
The children were then called to
the front. Rev. Ross had a teddy
bear hiding in his mystery bag.
This was a special bear with "I love
you" written on it. Rev. Ross asked
the children about their parents'
anger at times. They must always
realize that this anger is because
they love them.
Prayer on love by Rev. Ross and
the children closed this. The
children went to their classes while
the congregation sang Jesus Loves
the Little Children.
The hymn Take up your Cross
was sung followed by Rev. Ross
reading from I Corinthians. In this
Apostle Paul spoke of charity that
never fails. "We should live with
Audrey Boonstoppel spoke of
mothers who came for aid for their
children. Those mothers need
assistance in clothing for
themselves also.
Sales slips from Knechtel's and
Zehrs were collected.
The various quilts were displayed
and discussed. Jackie McNee
offered to purchase one of them.
When finished they will be sent
where most appropriate. No
definite date was set but the Club
plans to take a tour into Mennonite
country.
Audrey Boonstoppel offered her
home for the meeting on Feb. 23.
Ethel Ball will be programme
convenor.
Offering and draw were then
taken and Audrey was the winner
of the prize donated by Kay Lapp.
The club gathered around the
table. Grace was sung. Vera served
Queen Elizabeth cake and ice
cream.
Following lunch the members
returned to the quilting frame, so
the second one was completed
before they left for home.
help the people of Ontario share the
Olympic spirit directly with our
athletes in Nagano."
faith, hope and charity."
Second scripture was from Luke
4. He told the people that a prophet
was never believed in his own
country. The crowd was annoyed
and tried to kill him.
The hymn Rise Up, Men of God
was then sung followed by Rev.
Ross's sermon. The topic was
"Tough Love", He began with a
recording of What the World Needs
Now. That song is true because
regardless of nationality, race,
colour, there must be love. Love
must be given to everyone here on
earth. God is with us always and
regardless of circumstances love
must prevail."
Prayer of thanks and concern for
love on this earth followed by The
Lord's Prayer in unison was then
given. Collection was received,
followed by doxology and the
offertory prayer.
The closing hymn was Zion's
King Shall Reign Victorious
