FROM BRUSSELS
Greeting at Melville Presbyterian
Church last Sunday morning were
Mike and Lori Vader with their
children Jasmine and Anthony.
Flowers were placed at the front of
the church in loving memory of Jack
McCutcheon by the family. The
sympathy of this congregation goes
out to the McCutcheon family and
also to the family of Marguerite
Krauter who passed away April 1.
Rev. Cathrine Campbell led in the
Call to Worship. The senior choir
sang the anthem, Because He Lives,
during the congregational greetings.
The responsive reading of Psalm 31:
9 - 18 led to the singing of the
children's hymn, We Come as Guests
Invited, as the youngsters moved to
the front of the church for their
storytime.
Rev. Campbell pointed out the
beautiful roses and talked to the
children about how while roses are
attractive to see, they're also a
symbol of the love and affection felt
by those who have placed them there
in memory of a loved one.
She talked of eating and how it too
is sometimes symbolic and means
more than to just quell hunger.
At the Branch
By Jo-Ann McDonald
The week at the Brussels Legion
started with a meeting on Monday
evening hosted by Brussels Agri
Services and Gallagher Power
Fencing. A packed house listened
to guest speaker Dave Pratt speak
on livestock, grass, money and
you.
He specializes in intensive
grazing and livestock management
systems.
The 4-H Club members sold
coffee and donuts as a fundraiser.
These were supplied by Brussels
Agri Services Ltd.
The general meeting was held on
Referring to the communion table
draped in preparation for the
sacrament, she reminded all that
Jesus was the instigator of the first
Communion feast.
Rev. Campbell also reminded
everyone of the Easter breakfast to
be held at the church on Easter
Sunday at 9 a.m., and how funds
raised from this meal would enable
the Sunday School classes to sponsor
Geri, their adopted foster child for
another year, through World Vision.
The scripture lessons for this
morning were Isaiah 50: 4 - 9,
Philippians 2: 5 - 11 and Luke 22
with Julia Mitchell assisting Rev.
Campbell.
Following the hymn, 0 Master Let
Me Walk With Thee, the sermon,
Come and Dine, was presented.
Starting out with the words of Auntie
Mame in the movie by that name,
Rev. Campbell said, "Life is a
banquet and most poor souls are
starving to death because they're
afraid to come".
She said people are grateful they
are called to dine and can accept.
"Ours is the richest banquet in the
world because we are called to the
Tuesday evening with only nine in
attendance. The winter has been
tough financially with high costs to
run a facility and low usage of the
place as well. The auction will
hopefully help out immensely. Get
your pledge sheets in and save
someone the time of having to call.
Donations were approved for
Grey Central Public School and the
Wingham high school history trip.
The dart league had 12 players
out. The first-place team was
Sandra Josling and John Harrison.
In second place were Lisa
Glanville and Steve Thom. The
high shots were John Harrison with

Yippee!! The sun is shining, the
breezes blowing, the bulbs are
peeking and the robins are hopping
about. It seems it may be spring.
The palm branches were in motion
on Sunday at many area churches.
This is part of our history as we recall
the parade with Jesus as the honoured
guest A party was needed, a
welcoming or homecoming parade
with all the joy and laughter that
comes with this kind of gathering.
And so as we begin Holy Week
once again after 2,000 years of Holy
Weeks we need this welcoming joy,
for we know what _happens in the
story on Friday. So as the week
passes the horrors of our world then
and now are pondered. We also know
Lord's table to celebrate what we,are
given by God."
Speaking of , the communion
sacrament, she pointed out that just
as Jesus sent Peter and John to make
preparations for Passover in the
finest dining room they could find,
Christians also use their finest linen
and best utensils to celebrate- the
feast of the Lord. Just as Jesus shared
that.feast with one who was plotting
to betray him and another who was
weak and would deny him,
Christians also are not perfect, but
welcomed to participate in the
community of faith.
The offering was taken up by
Maurice Douma, Bill Aitchison, Jeff
Cardiff and Bill King, during which
time the solo anthem, I' Believe in a
Hill Called Calvary, was sung by
Margaret Mclnroy. Then the elders
moved to the front of the church and
after everyone recited The Apostle's
Creed, the sacrament of communion
was given.
From the announcements, the
Maitland Presbytery has offered to
send one of the Sunday school
children to camp. From a drawing of
names Matthew Pipe is the lucky
133 and Lisa Glanville with 119.
Men's high start was Norm
Dobson with 102.
The Friday night supper of roast
pork was attended by over 40. As
this week is Good Friday we are
closed.
On Saturday the fish fry crew
was off to Stratford to serve 140.
Helping out the crew were Dave
Stephenson, Randy White, Rick
and Jo-Ann McDonald, Carmen
and Mary Bernard, Norm Dobson
and Judy Lee. They had a good day
and were even home by 8:30 p.m.
Anniversary wishes were sung to
George and Maxine Adams on the
the conclusions — the very reason we
are Christian today. So every year we
honour this week as we prepare to
celebrate the risen Christ. so the
significance of new growth, new life
and reassurance are ours again each
spring.
The release of the_movie called The
Passion of The Christ last month will
have a lot more people thinking about
the historical and real Easter. This
year perhaps this brutality and many
other horrors and injustices in the
world will be very real. Our world
and its people continue to struggle for
power and might, so someone else
always loses. Perhaps soon we could
learn to share all.
Ah the reason for the Easter story.
For the chocolate lovers of the
world, life just improved. Check out
the west side of Turnberry Street. A
dream house for you has just opened.
Don't forget to contact Darlene
Hemingway about vocal lessons.
She's here on Mondays. We need to
use her time well when we have her
in Brussels and we'll all benefit.
Have a Blessed Easter with the
ones you love.

Extra recognition
When Brussels-area youth Aaron Richmond was honoured
with a nomination for Jr. Citizen by the Ontario Community
Newspaper Assocation, part of his recognition came as a
result of his contribution at Huronlea, County Home for the
Aged. Thursday, county council said well done also, when
warden Bill Dowson presented Richmond with a certificate
for his achievements. (Keith Flouiston photo)
