The junior choir entertained with Father, I Adore You and I Am a C under the direction of Valerie Van Reisen. / Will Sing of My Redeemer was the anthem offered by the senior choir. Sunday School Superintendent Lynda Horbanuik conducted the service. She introduced the teachers who had been involved in 2000/2001 with the Christian education of the young people. She expressed her thanks to the teachers for their efforts, and involvement with the Sunday School's extra activities over the year. Each of the teachers received a plant for their flower garden. This past year the Sunday School studied year one of journeying together using the book A Growing Together. The children learned about the creation and God's people of the Old Testament. Each of the children of the four classes was called to the front to receive a gift/award for being a part of Londesboro United Church's Sunday School system. Each child received a glass jar filled with trinkets/goodies suitable to their age — sunglasses, barrettes, superballs, etc. The jars had been decorated by Eric Horbanuik. Kindergarten jars had been painted and 'precious Moments' pictures decorated the jars for the junior class. Frogs, symbolizing `First Rely on God' were painted on for the intermediate and senior classes. Caitlin Pollard received a Bible and cover on her promotion into the intermediate class. Sunday's ceremony marked 15 years for Lynda Horbanuik as Sunday School superintendent and her retirement. Barb Bosman read a letter of appreciation from the official board of the church to Lynda for her many years of dedication. Tyler Mitchell gave Lynda a bouquet of flowers. Mary Ann Drost thanked her on behalf of the teachers and the children. Three kindergarten children presented her with a hanging plant and a gift. Thanks is expressed to Don and Joan Gciodall, Bert and Joanne Lyon and Barb Jewitt for planting the flowers following last week's service of remembering. Their efforts have filled the beds with colour and memories. If anyone would like to be responsible for keeping the flowerbeds watered, please contact Rev. Ross.

Proceeds from the offering will be used by the board of stewards to assist children from the church in attending a church camp.

It was decided at a recent meeting of the official board to hold an appreciation dinner on June 13 for those persons who have taken an active role in the church affairs over the past year. Watch for your invitation and come out to share some time together with no responsibi The topic of conversation everywhere in Huron County these days is the proposal announced some four months ago by the Clinton and Goderich hospital boards to establish a regional hospital in the area. On the holiday Monday, Janice Cosgrove, multi-site • administrator from Clinton stopped in Londesboro to speak with interested area residents about that proposal. Janice disclosed a great deal of information through her explanation of the proposal and in response to the many questions and concerns offered by those in attendance. She offered assurance that both hospital boards are committed to the project and are being encouraged by support from nursing and medical staff and the general public. Ms- Cosgrove believes in the project and is confident that the issue of a location will be overcome at some point in the future. Definitely a state-of-the-art medical facility for Huron County is not a dead issue. If you have been unable to attend any of the information meetings, at least make an effort to talk with someone who has. Get the answers to your questions and, at least, give the proposal an informed consideration Grads attend 65th reunion When one hears of a school reunion, one does not necessarily think about a reunion of school teachers. But teachers were once students, too. In 1936, 65 years ago, the Stratford Normal School graduated 125 new teachers. Those graduates have addresses from points all across Canada. For the past 12 years, the class of 1936 has been holding a reunion in Stratford for those graduates still able to attend. This year 14 graduates and seven family guests gathered at the Arden Park Hotel for a noon luncheon. Due to Rev. Paul Ross attending conference the Sunday School took Toilet damaged On May 23 shortly after noon, OPP were notified of a portable toilet being damaged on Huron Street in Auburn. The owner of Bluewater Sanitation, found that someone in a vehicle drove into a portable toilet left at the ballpark. Damaged was the door of the facility along with one sidewall. Anyone who has information about this damage is asked to call the OPP or Crime Stoppers. Edythe Beacom of Londesboro, Jean Hodgins of Wingham, Helen (MacGregor) Bryans of Mitchell and Jim Henderson of Lucknow were area attendees. Local grads not able to attend are Jessie Addison and Elva Cox of Clinton and Bernice Anderson of Auburn. Deceased members of that class were Isabel Colson of Clinton and Ruth Shaddick of Londesboro. • - No doubt a great deal of the conversation at these gatherings centres on how education has changed and on what is currently happening in the school system. the service at Knox United on May 27. The junior choir sang with Nancy Park as organist and Shelley Worsell, the leader. Call to Worship opened with Bernice Gross asking questions which the congregation answered. The hymn Joyful, Joyful was sung, followed by prayer by Marilyn Verbeek on the assurance of God's pardon. The children came to the front and were talked to by a teacher. The little On May 9 several of the group toured the Normal School building and -admired again the beautiful memorial stained glass window which is original to the building. That school building, which is adjacent to the Stratford Festival Building, now houses a museum. Two years ago, Edythe Beacom was chairperson for the reunion. How appropriate that the entertainment that afternoon was provided by Barbara (Snell) Bosman and Bonnie (Snell) Jewitt, both graduates of that Normal School in the mid 1960s. ones then went to classes but the rest stayed in church. 0 Jesus I Have Promised was sung. Scripture was read from Genesis and Colossians by D. McClinchey and Greg Park. The conference hymn was then sung. Shelley Worsell gave a reading. Rainbows.
