FROM BELGRAVE
WI, guests
enjoy
potluek
WI members and friends gathered
on Tuesday, Feb. 18 for a potluck
meal. They were welcomed by the
president, Isabel Campbell.
The program was a slide show
and talk given by Professor Wm.
Andrews of Toronto and Mamoch.
He had pictures of his property in
Toronto where he has converted
much of his lawn into flowerbeds
and rock gardens. The plants require
a minimum of care because they are
growing densely and are mostly
perennials.
He avoids using fertilizer and
weed spray to cut down on
pollution, and mulches the soil to
retain the moisture. Many wild
animals and birds are attracted to
the yard and bees and butterflies are
supplied with nectar.
He was thanked for his
presentation by Ada Taylor.
During the business meeting the
forms were handed out for annual
reports from the officers.
It was agreed to give a donation to
the school fair.
A letter was read asking everyone
to look for a brand of tea and coffee
which is produced by small
landowners in the Third World.
The next potluck will be on
Tuesday, March 4 at noon with a
speaker from Palliative Care.

Congratulations to Montina
Hussey of East Wawanosh Public
School who earned top marks in the
Legion speaking competition and
will now advance to the next level.
She competed against students from
several local schools including
Wingham, Tumberry, Howick and
Lucknow.
Sincere sympathy is extended
from the community to Ruth and
Bob Gordon, Belgrave; Jim and
Doris Taylor, RR 5, Wingham;
Joyce and John Thompson, RR 2,
Lucknow; and Doreen and Jack
Mali of RR 3, Holyrood on the
recent loss of a dear mother,
Margaret Taylor. Margaret is
survived by her sisters-in-law
Margaret, Jean and Mary Robinson
of Wingham, 10 grandchildren and
four great-grandchildren.
May you remember these families
in your thoughts and prayers.
Meagan Pletch and Megan Carter
were greeters at Knox United
Church on Sunday, Feb. 23.
Rev. Ethel Miner Clare welcomed
the congregation followed by the
singing of hymns accompanied by
Elizabeth Procter.
The senior choir sang His Grace is
Sufficient For Me accompanied by
Mrs. Procter.
The responsive reading was taken
from Psalm 41.
The children’s hymn was This is
God’s Wondrous World. The
children gathered in the front pew
for story time. Last Sunday Rev.
Miner Clare had given each of the
children some homework on how
they share peace. They each had
drawings illustrating peace such as
sharing with friends, hugging,
kissing, and loving one another. We
need to say “yes” to God. Everyone
of God’s promises is a yes.
The scripture lessons were taken
from Isaiah 43: 18-25, 2 Corinthians
1: 18-22, and Mark 2: 1-12.
The sermon was based on the
scripture lessons. Crowds of people
went to see Jesus and listen to him
teach and heal the sick people. One
day, when Jesus was teaching inside
a house many people came to see
him, so that the house was full.
Four men came with their friend
who couldn’t walk. They had to
carry him on a bed. They couldn’t
get to Jesus as the house was too
full. They carried their friend up on
the roof, made an opening in the
tiles and let him down on his bed
into the middle of the group in front
of Jesus.
When Jesus saw how much faith
they had, he said to the men, “Your
sins are forgiven, my friend.” He
said Get up and walk” and the man
got up and walked.
Ellen Procter and Amanda Dorsch
took up the offering.
The flowers at the front of the
sanctuary were placed by the
families of Margaret Taylor in
loving memory.
The World Day of Prayer service
will be held on Friday, March 7 at 2
p.m. in Knox United Church. This
year’s service is written by the
women of Lebanon.
