FROM AUBURN Church marks • anniversary Londesboro United Church cele- brated the anniversary service of Auburn United Church on Sunday, Oct. 21. The guest minister for the day was Rev. Gary Shuttleworth of Tillsonburg. He was student minister here many years ago. His family was also present. It has increased in size; there is now even a sweet grand- daughter. Time does fly by. Rev. Paul Ross welcomed all and invited Knox congregants to observe the anniversary at Londesboro United next Sunday. A musical group, Joyful' Noise, will be conducting this. Nancy Park told about shoeboxes of children's gifts needed for a child. Money is to be included to assist with mailing. She also introduced the guest soloist and pianist. Marianne Hogan sang two solos accompanied by Cheryl Wilson. The children were invited to the front as the chorus Saviour Teach Me was sung. Rev. Ross greeted them and out of the mystery bag a photo was drawn. The children guessed that 'it was the church but took longer identifying it as the entranceway. The permanent engraving on both side walls took longer still. Rev. Ross read scripture from Matthew 16. He then welcomed Rev. Shuttleworth to the pulpit to read from James 4. Rev. Shuttleworth spoke about coming here as a student minister. He spoke of various incidents where help had been given by many people and gave special thanks to several who had given the helping hand. He continued with a sermon from James 4. As James said, "We do not know what will happen today or tomorrow. So each day we must fol- low in His way and live this life in God's way. Humble ourselves in his teachings, speak no evil and love thy neighbour as thyself." How long one is to live in this world one does not know so every day one must live their best. Rev. Shuttleworth closed with prayer. - After the service everyone was invited to share lunch downstairs and enjoy a fellowship hour. Special thanks is given to all who made this a wonderful anniversary.
