Nelson chose as the title of his message al Londesboro United Church, I'll Be a Sunbeam For Him. The title was reminiscent of the children’s song, God Wants Me for a Sunbeam. rhe text for the message was found in Paul's letter to the Philippians. Philippians I: 19-26 written during Paul’s imprisonment. All of us need sunshine in our lives. God will fill our world with spiritual sunshine if we will let Him. Rev. Nelson suggested three beams of sunshine to live life by. Firstly, one must get their priorities straight. Our lives will be filled with sunshine il we glorify God regardless of what happens in our lives. To live for something bigger than one's self was the second beam of sunshine offered for consideration. Rev.

The senior choir introduced the hymn, Long Before the Night, as their morning anthem. During the children’s time, Rev. Nelson shared several jokes/stories with the boys and girls, ending with one about alphabet blocks. In keeping with Valentine’s Day, the word love was spelled with the blocks. God has spelled out His love for the children through the gift of Jesus Christ. The congregation was sorry to hear of the death of Rambo, a St. John Ambulance therapy dog. In recent years, Jane Hoggart and Rambo had made many visits in the area to spread love and joy to the new project, find someone to cuddle with (after all it is Valentine’s) as the forecast is calling for another whole week of snow flurries. The cold remains but isn't it a treat to have more daylight at both ends of the day? And’last Friday we awoke to another day of glorious sunshine and trees covered in frost. How many of you took the time to marvel at the lovely snow crystals as they sparkled on the fresh snow? sick, lonely and unhappy. The Sunday School did their best to spread love on Sunday as well.
