McDonald greets at Duff's Leona McDonald greeted wor- shippers at Duff's United Church on Oct. 28. Joan Tuchlinsky welcomed every- one to the service. After the opening hymn she announced that if there are any children wanting to join the youth choir to give Brian Black a call. -This was Reformation Sunday. During the children's time Joan explained to them about how Martin Luther tried to change things (reform) in the early church. That is when the early church split into Catholic and Protestant. Her sermon was called, The spirit poured out on all. If anyone in downtown Walton woke up Sunday morning to find their leaves raked up and put into bags they have Duff's youth group to thank. They had a Rake and Run night, plus a lot of other fun things. Shannon Gibbons, the youth leader who was aided by Brad Finlayson and Joan Tuchlinsky, were in charge of the Saturday happenings for the kids. They met Saturday afternoon and they carved pumpkins, made muffins, played a lot of group games, had a mystery supper in which they all had to eat spaghetti with forks, fingers, potato masher, tongs and other kitchen gadgets that came with the meal. There were around IS young peo- ple who participated in the events of the day. Pillow fights, music and just all around good fund was had by all. Heidi McClure, Gloria Wilbee and Judy Beuermann were part of a bus load of women who went to Toronto last Thursday to watch the very pop- ular Mama Mia, the Abba musical. Heidi said that it was great, well worth going to see. I have talked to quite a few people who have seen it and everyone has said how spectacular it was. It is actually being held over and will be running into January. Oct. 28 was Doug Fraser's 75th birthday. Happy Birthday, Doug from all your Walton friends. Balloon found far from home Driving into town recently Joyce Triebner untangled some well-trav- elled information. Spying a balloon caught in the bushes along Conc. 16 in Grey, Triebner also noticed that it had a tag attached. The balloon contained a note from a Grade 4 student at Sunflower Elementary School in Lenexa, Kansas named Rachel. She explained that her Grade 4 class had released the balloons as part of their geography studies. Triebner is sending the card back with a map of Ontario on which she has circled Brussels. She is also sending a Canadian pin. FROM WALTON HISTORIC PHOTOS WANTED The Citizen requires historic photos of Blyth for its salute to Blyth's 125th anniversary, to be published in July 2002. We'll copy the photo, then give it back to you. Please bring to The Citizen office. Frances Clark, Evelyn Christensen and Grace Cartwright attended the recent euchre party at Clinton Bowling Club. Lois Haines and members of her family went to Boumanville, N.Y. for a memorial service for her late sister. She passed away during the terrorist attack in USA which delayed the services. Knox United Church members were guests of their sister church of Londesboro for the anniversary service Sunday. Joyful Noise, a musical group, was in charge. A salad lunch and social gathering was enjoyed following the service. Bible Study was held at Kay Lapp's home on Oct. 23. Scripture was from Mark 10. Christ knew that he would die and explained this to his disciples, but they did not under- stand. Looking back in the Old Testament, there are predictions that this would happen to Jesus. Also Jesus observed the Passover with the disciples and spoke of the value of his blood for God's kingdom. He also brought to attention scrip- ture in Isaiah on the affliction that from it would be glory and God's spirit in charge. Rev. Paul Ross closed with prayer. Kay invited the members to the dining room and grace was said. Lois Haines assisted the hostess and lunch and a social half hour closed the meeting.
