Another item I found in an old
edition of The Blyth Standard is of
particular interest to Londesborough
residents this week.
The March 23, 1966 weekly,
under the Londesborough heading,
reads "A number of farms on the
The women of South Africa, who
compiled the World Day of Prayer
Service for 2006, titled their service,
Signs of the Times.
Established as a nation in 1910
South Africa has a population, today
estimated at 43 million, with
influences of the Dutch, German
and French colonists as well as
African. Four decades of apartheid
created rifts, strife and political
uprisings. The women who came
together to plan the service credit
the efforts of Desmond Tutu, Nelson
Mandela and President De Clerk for
setting their country on a path to a
new and better world.
The women used the service to
give thanks for calling the women
of South Africa today to be the signs
of new life; to shine their light into
the world to revitalize the
communities. Their country still
experiences challenge as it deals
with drought and pollution, violence
and drugs, poverty and HIV/AIDS.
The presenters of the service at
Londesborough United Church
decorated with leaves and seeds as
signs of the healing, hope and
rebirth that are signs of the times in
South Africa.
Lynda Horbanuik, Florence Snell,
Betty Fisher and Bev Riley led the
service for thqle gathered in the
lower hall at Lotidesborough. Gail
13th Concession have changed
hands during the past few weeks ...
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Crawford
have sold to Mr. and Mrs. Martin
Wilts." '
Martin and Janie Wilts, likely
newlyweds at the time, have
farmed that property for nearly 40
years.
On Saturday, March 4, the couple
moved into the village having
purchased the home of Gordon
Radford. Welcome to the village.
Our family is thrilled to have the
lights on again in that house and are
pleased to have you as neighbours.
The farm they left has been sold to
their eldest son, Rob and Yvonne and
family.
Lear accompanied the hymn singing
and played offertory music.
The scripture reading, Luke 21: 5-
19 gives reassurance that God will
be there to help everyone in times of
struggle. Ezekiel 37: 1-10 affirms
the power that individuals working
in community have to co-create
with God a better world.
Although criticized for her actions
the woman who anointed Jesus with
oil in Matthew 26: 6-13 knew of the
turmoil in His life. Her act of
courage was a sign of compassion
and friendship to be copied today.
Lunch served following the
service included foods typical of
South Africa, fruit, rusks, rooibos
iced tea and peanut cookies.
Tom and Marjorie Duizer snuffed
the first candle of the Lenten
Tennebrae on the first Sunday of
Lent at Londesborough United
Church on March 5. As people' face
the challenges of life, the rainbow is
the sign of God's promise to save,
heal and _deliver. The Holy Spirit
will help people to follow the
example of a just and loving Jesus.
A rainbow figured in the time the
children spent at the front with Rev.
Pat Cook. One day an unhappy God
mused about what in creation made
Him happy.
His senses brought Him joy
through the red hair of a young girl,
an orange, yellow sunshine, green
plants, bluebird song and mountains.
Those colours He incorporated in
His promise of love in the sky, the
rainbow.
The morning's responsive psalm
was Psalm 25. The scripture reading,
Genesis: 9: 8-17, tells of the
covenant God made with Noah that a
flood would never again cover the
earth. A rainbow is the everlasting
sign of that covenant.
Covenant Signs was the title of
Rev. Cook's message. That
covenant, shown through a rainbow,
is universal and unilateral, she
stated. Our part of the covenant
promises faithfulness to God. Still
today people themselves in the midst
of God's love and each sighting of a
rainbow reaffirms His covenant.
One of the responses to God's love
should be the care of His creation.
Bridge work
frustrates
Seili
Huron County's bridges could be
made more accessible to people
with mobility problems with a
simple change in cement forming,
Huron East councillor Joe Seili
largued at the March 2 meeting of
county council.
Seili expressed frustration that the
pedestrian portion of a newly-
repaired bridge on Huron County
Rd. 12 near Kippen was not
accessible for those in wheelchairs
or limited walking ability.
"I was told it would be looked
after," Seili said.
Huron County engineer Don
Pletch said the pedestrian portion
of the bridge had been widened an
extra foot but the roadside
leading up to the bridge was only
gravel.
It's up to the local municipality to
provide sidewalks, he said.
But Seili argued he wasn't calling
for sidewalks.
Merely forming up the cement of
the pedestrian area of the bridge so it
was on a gradual slope instead of a
90-degree angle would help people
with mobility problems, he said.
Lent is a time for Christians to
respond with renewed efforts to help
the ailing world through better
recycling and garbage reduction and
donating toward the elimination of
poverty.
Rev. Cook encouraged all
congregants to welcome God anew
into their hearts this Lenten season.
Assisting with the sacrament of
communion were Erica Horbanuik,
Cheryl Trewartha, Betty
Archambault, Mary Anne Drost, Ed
Salverda and John Jewitt. Bread of
Life was the senior choir anthem.
Lenten services will be held at the
various churches in Clinton at noon
on Thursdays during Lent. A light
lunch will follow the services.
The senior choir will meet at 10
a.m. on March 12.
The Sunday school invites
everyone to join them for their
crokinole party on March 16.
