Anniversary Sunday at United
Bonnie,

to offer
A large number of churchgoers
and the appearance of the sunshine
mid-morning made for a cheery
celebration on anniversary Sunday,
Oct. 26 at Londesborough United
Church.
In keeping with the feelings of
thankfulness for the longevity of the
church the senior choir sang Joyful,
Joyful, We Adore Thee.
The Snell family, Barb,
Betty and Rob, returned
home church that morning
musical selections that added to the
celebratory feeling. They favoured
the congregation with let the Rafters
Ring, Clap Your Hands and Sing
Alleluia, Happiness and Praise God.
Conducting the service was Don
Vair of Belgrave. He showed the
boys and girls who gathered at the
front the shovel he carries in his car
trunk. It bothers him that turtles
should be hit by traffic. Don
acknowledged that when he uses the
Dessert begins UCW meeting
Dessert began the October
gathering of the Londesborough
United Church Women on Monday,
Oct. 20.
The devotional time led by Bev
Riley, Lynda Horbanuik and
Florence Snell had a Thanksgiving
theme. Scripture reading Phillipians
4: 6-7 pointed out that prayer brings
peace.
One family’s constant diet for a
time of roast beef and potatoes gave
new understanding to the discontent
of the Israelites with daily manna
while in the desert.
Recognizing everyone takes daily
shovel to kindly move a turtle to
safety, they get angry. They don’t
realize he is helping them.
Mr. Vair pointed out to the
children that there are people like
that in the world also. No matter
how kind and loving others are to
them they are still angry, miserable
and unappreciative. He encouraged
the children to be like God, loving
and kind in spite of how these
people react.
For a special Sunday came a
special treat. Two very colourful ball
hangings were on display on the
gallery railing. They were presented
to Camp Menesetung by the staff
and campers of 2003.
Chair of the camp boards, Barb
Knox of Londesborough United
Church explained the significance of
the hangings. The handprint of every
staff member and camper at the
camp in 2003 is found'on these
hangings and represents the
blessings for granted the story gave
the ladies a new way to appreciate
this season of Thanksgiving.
Scripture Luke 6: 38 was followed
by a story about the coincidences
that happened to a father and
daughter around bicycles. The story
was a lesson in charity and the love
of God.
The worship concluded with the
hymn All Things Bright and
Beautiful.
During the business part of the
evening, the group agreed to send
monetary donations to Seaforth and
Clinton hospitals, Camp

summer’s theme, Celebrate God’s
World. The camp board will display
the hangings in the churches of
Huron-Perth Presbytery on a
rotating basis.
The scripture reading Matthew 5:
1-16 was part of Christ’s sermon on
the Mount. The text for Mr. Vair’s
message, Peace, can be found in the
words of verse 16, Let your light so
shine before men.
Don Vair remarked on the many
displays of and prayers for peace
that followed the terrorist attacks of
9/11 or Sept. 11, 2001. Then, as now,
war is a constant in the world. There
is no real peace in the world. Peace
is maintained by force, eg.
policemen, peacekeeping troops,
etc. Don asserted that peace
everywhere depends on individual
hearts.
There is no real peace in any
human heart that does not know the
Prince of Peace, God, he stated.

The desperation and restlessness
of street people comes from not
having serenity in their hearts
believes Mr. Vair. There are
boundless examples of people who
seem to have it all but are not happy
and quiet of heart. Peace is a free
gift of God if only one believes. If
one is a Christian the quality of
peace should shine from him/her for
all the world to see.
