Beloved
title of
minister's
sermon
Beloved was the title of. Rev. Pat
Cook's message at Londesborough
United Church on Sunday, June 20.
Her message was appropriate for
Father's Day.
The morning's responsive psalms,
Psalms 42 and 43 are a call by
David for God's care and loving
kindness. The gospel reading, Luke
15:3. 11-32. is the parable Christ
told Of the prodigal son.
The word. until, appears in all of
Christ's parables that concern lost
things — lost coin, lost sheep and lost
son. The lost is only lost until it is
found. In the parable of the prodigal
son, the father's response is for a
found son. His response to the lad's
return shows a truly loving, patient.
(for)giving and welcoming father.
Both sons are important to him for
what each brings to his life.
Both, therefore, • are loved in
different ways. So it is with God's
love.
God's love is for all; they are
loved for their differences. Rev. Pat
challenged those gathered that
morning to be messengers of that
love; to welcome newcomers to our
church and community so others can
experience God's all-embracing
love.
A Swahili anthem, Sisi Gumbo
We, meaning. we love you, was the
senior choir's ministry of music.
Special guest soloist. Shannon Scott
sang descant in the anthem.
A hand puppet. resembling a First
Nations girl, came to the children's
story time to tell how unhappy she
had been at residential school:
Having to relinquish her language
and culture made her lonely and
unhappy.
Only her Ojibwa dreamcatcher
gave her comfort.
It was explained that the United
church had made apologies and
restitution for those hurts once they
realized how wrong the schools had
been.

Friday, June 18 was a grey, damp
and chilly day until early afternoon.
Gradually by late afternoon the sun
came our and warmed things up
somewhat just as though nature was
aware the graduating class of Hullett
Central Public School would want to
be outside to take farewell pictures
and enjoy their last official day of
elementary education.
Twenty-four young people were
hardly recognizable dressed for their
evening. These young men in suits
and ties and paired ,with girls in long
gowns and fancy hairdos made it
apparent to the adults that the time
had come for these teens to embrace
the next step in education and life.
The hallway and auditorium
featured real and artificial plants
decorated with twinkle lights. Parent
Nancy Snell and a committee of
students had tastefully decorated for
both the banquet and programme.
Greyhaven Gardens had generously
loaned a number of the plants.
Celebrations began with photos
followed by the banquet catered and
served by the Grade 7 class and their
parents. Councillor Marg Anderson
brought congratulations from
Central Huron.
For the award ceremony the
students entered the gym through a
trellis. As each was presented their
diploma and year-end package
principal Lois Tebbutt or teacher
Dennis Drennan offered comments
of their impression of each young
person.
Members of the Londesborough
Happy Gang Seniors Club hosted
the monthly birthday party at
Huronlea in Brussels on June 8. The
group provided cookies and squares
for snacks. Gladys van Egmond and
the Merrymakers entertained that
afternoon.
The Seniors meeting on June 30
will be at the Betty Cardno Centre in
Clinton. Dinner is to be served at
noon. This meeting is the last
gathering until September and the
last opportunity for members to add
items to the suitcase for the Children
of Chernobyl.
'Tis the season of graduations and
this week's column includes a report
of Hullett Central Public School's
special evening. A former Hullett
graduate, Kevin Trewartha,
Floyd Herman gave the address to
the students. He commented that he
remembered that Hullett Central
Public School had a rural school
maturity, an acceptance of everyone
and their strengths and weaknesses.
This maturity led to a spirit of
community that results in a positive
energy and team work. These things,
he remarked, allowed for a more
complete education and wider
understanding of the real world.
Mr. Herman suggested that the
young graduates should recogniZe
that they have been fortunate in their
education/situation and should be
grateful. He challenged them to
carry the values they have learned in
this school out to improve the world.
Floyd encouraged the teens as they
enter high school to work hard, play
hard and laugh much.
In her valedictorian address, Jenna
Roy took the students on a memory
trip through the grades and thanked
all their teachers and parents for
patiently guiding the graduates to
the completion of their elementary
education.
The customary slide show of then
and now photos of the students and
teachers orchestrated by Ms Wyatt.
Glenda deBoer, Andrea Hulley,
Laura Snell and Jessica Verwey was
quite polished and professional and
enjoyed by everyone. As parents and
relatives made their way home, the
graduates stayed to dance a while
not really wanting the evening to
come to an end.
graduated from the University of
Western Ontario on June 8 with an

best wishes for whatever the future
