The Londesborough Lions Club
and their wives want to cook you an
Olde Tyme Country Breakfast this
coming Sunday. Oct. 31 at the
Londesborough Community Hall.
Last week an Ottawa theatre
troupe that tours the country
delighted the primary children from
several area schools with A Promise
Is A Promise at the Blyth Festival.
Pupils from Hullett Central Public
School were part of the audience for
this Robert Munsch story on Friday
morning.
The play by the Rag and Bones
Troupe featured a good deal of
music as well and the three actors
played a number of different
instruments during the presentation.
Ten pupils from Hullett Central
Public School competed in the
cross-country meet for all schools in
the Avon Maitland District School
Board held in Mitchell on Tuesday,
Oct. 19. Notable finishers for Hullett
were a fourth for Matt Boven, a
fourth for Ray Huether and an eighth
for Shelsea Popp.
Huron Centennial School in
Brucefield played host for the
regional soccer tournaments. Five
schools competed in each of four
divisions in round-robin play. Junior
teams competed on Thursday, Oct. 7
and the seniors had their turn on
Monday, Oct. 1-8.
Coached by Mrs. Tebbutt, the
junior girls team had a fantastic day
and were first at day's end. The
senior girls play came to an unusual
finish. Clinton girls won all their
games and therefore their division
while the teams from the four other
schools tied for second place. The
Hullett senior girls team was
coached by Mrs. Turcotte.
The junior boys team was coached
by Mr. Caldwell and the senior boys
by Mr. Drennan. Both boys teams
finished in fourth place.
Seventeen area traditional rug
hookers enjoyed a two-day school
with teacher, Iris Simpson of
Toronto, at the Londesborough
Community Hall Oct. 16 and 17. Iris
shared her knowledge of primitive
rug hooking using several examples-
of antique rugs. Then she taught
those present how to achieve the
same effect as in the old rugs.
Tom and Marjorie Duizer hosted
Iris and treated her to the harvest
supper at the Van Egmond House.
Iris Simpson went to Southampton
from Londesbordugh to teach at the
Chantry Rug Hooking School.
Marjorie attended the school from
Monday to Friday and took classes
with Iris in geometric rug hooking.
The classes that were held at the
Seniors Centre. There were five
teachers that week who instructed 16
craft persons each.
An anniversary is always cause for
celebration and at Londesborough
United Church on Sunday, Oct. 24, it
was a many faceted celebration.
In 1982, the Londesborough
congregation welcomed a student
minister, Colin SWan, into their
midst. That congregation celebrated
his return to their pulpit for their
anniversary service.
Rev. Swan titled his message,
Jesus Christ, The Same Yesterday,
Today and Tomorrow.
He reminisced about the arrival of
and wholehearted welcome his
family received from a very caring
congregation and community. All
the Swans have wonderful memories
of the time spent in Londesborough
and felt that same warm welcome
again this past Sunday.
After 20 years, aspects of the
community and congregation may
have changed but in many ways it is
still the same. In spite of changes,
Colin remarked, people still gather
in Londesborough United to
strengthen their faith. This gathering
remains constant in spite of changes
to the world or whatever else is
happening in people's lives.
Jesus Christ and His caring is the
same — constant from yesterday to
today and forward into tomorrow.
Believers must trust that constant
enough to lean on the relationship
between them and God.
God's gift to the Londesborough
congregation is knowing how to
reach out to others and to care. Rev.
Swan stated that the challenge to
congregants is to continue to share
that gift and God's grace and love in
actions and words to ensure that
their church has a bright tomorrow.
Romans 12: 1-8- speaks of
members of God's church having
each their own gift to share. In
Psalm 138, David praises the mercy
of God that endures forever. Jesus
Big day for United Church
asks the question, "Who do people
say that I am?" of His disciples in
Matthew 16: 13-20. Peter answers
that He is the Messiah.
Musical offerings by the choir
were. This Is The Day, and Ascribe
to the Lord.
During the children's time at the
front, four young folk were each
given a glass to hold and talk about
to the congregation. They remarked
that each glass was different — by
size, shape or colour -- just like the
children themselves. However, the
children are all part of God's family
that is the Londesborough
congregation.
Water was poured into each. glass
right to the brim. Rev. Swan pointed
out that the water was like God's
Holy Spirit filling each person to the
brim. Rev. Swan pointed out that the
water was like God's Holy Spirit
filling each person to the brim with
differing talents and abilities. No
one receives less or more of God's
love, just all each glass or person can
hold. Everyone is overflowing with
God's love.
At the conclusion of the service all
present followed Rev. Cook and
Rev. Swan out the front doors and
around to the_ new entranceway for a
celebration of a different sort, a
service of dedication.
This was the official opening of
the church's new addition. Watched
over by the executive of the official
board, Carl Stephenson cut the red
ribbon. This building project
signifies a step into the future and
two young men who will be part of
that future. Tyler Mitchell and Brent
Drost, held the ends of the ribbon.
Congratulations from Huron-Perth
Presbytery on the completion of the
project were brought by Murray
Donaldson.
Carl Stephenson expressed thanks
to all who volunteered their time to
