Spaghetti is on the menu at the
community centre -on Thursday
evening. Support the school council
as they try a little fundraising with
this dinner. Even if you’re not
thrilled about pasta show your
support for the next generation and
the projects that they have planned
for this year. Check the ads for time
and cost.
Wanna-be-council folk are out and
about telling their stories at doors,
arenas, community halls and several
other venues. Listen to them as some
of them will be the folks that will
decide the future of our several
municipalities in our area. Thank
one for allowing your
The ghosties and goblins are
getting ready to roll this week. It’s
that time of year for some pretty
serious pretending and then dressing
the part. Halloween is a time for kids
to have fun so lighten up and enjoy
the imaginations of all our little
friends that come to call. Life can be
just a little too serious at times so
enjoy this week with the young set
as they plan their Halloween attire.
It would be good for you as well to
let your imagination run with the
kids. It’s good to have friends in
every age group. It helps keep a
balanced life outlook.
The hockey teams are getting it
together so take a stroll to the arena
almost any day and enjoy the skill
and power of all our athletes.
Somerses
greet
Fannie and George Somers were
greeters at Melville Presbyterian
Church last Sunday morning.
Following the organ prelude by
Crystal McLellan, the congregation
joined with Rev. Cathrine Campbell
in the call to worship.
During Rev. Campbell’s talk with
the children, she introduced the
theme of healing by taking a poll to
see how many of them were familiar
with hospitals. Then she went on to
describe an early tent hospital that
the Presbyterian Church of Canada
established for the miners and
settlers of the Klondike during the
early days of the Yukon gold rush.
Elizabeth Hope Mitchell and Helen
Bone were the two pioneering
nurses responsible for this early
treatment centre which now is
replaced by a modern hospital.
“We remember the Great Healer,”
said Rev. Campbell as she told the
children that some of them might
someday enter the nursing
profession.
The responsive reading for this
morning was verses Psalm 34: 1-10.
Following that, reader Jeff Cardiff
assisted Rev. Campbell with the
scripture readings of Job 42: 1-16;
Hebrews 7: 23 - 28; Mark 10: 46 -
52
The sermon. What are You
Lacking, referred directly
stories from the scripture
where Job retains his faith
throughout many trials
reinstated by God to his
prosperity with only the instruction
to “Pray for his friends”, those who
had urged him to turn his back on
his God when his tribulations were

Smiling people were seen milling
about the United Church on
Saturday - over 200 auction items
found new homes with the exchange
of a little cash. This auction has been
held every two years since the
Macmillans were in the manse and
with lots of planning and ground
work the donors are pleased when
their item is bought; the stewards are
thrilled with the co-operation of
many and the new owners are
smiling as they waltzed home with
their new treasures.
The variety seems to improve each
year - something for every age and
interest. Food certificates, fresh
baked pies and cakes as well as
tables, service vouchers, church
pews, kids’ chairs and old church
windows all brought energetic
bidding. And a good time was had
by all.
The clock has been put back for
this year. Now all you have to do is
get the spring bulbs in and wait for
the winter. Take care of yourself.
