The service was withdrawn
at the Granton United Church
so that the congregation could
join the St. Thomas Anglican
Church in the celebration of
their 100th anniversary. The
service was in charge of the
Rev. Peter Derrick, rector of
St. Thomas. "Joyful, Joyful,
I Adore Thee" was the pro-
cessional hymn, this was
followed by the dedication of
the new altar and chancel
hangings, hand embroidered
by Mrs. Muriel Lewis, Mrs.
Olive Hodgin (Mrs. Percy)
and Mrs. Velma Hodgins, all
members of the Chancel
Guild.
The burse and veil were
embroidered by Mrs. Beth
Bennet during her husband
Lyle's incumbency in this
parish. The laudian frontal,
embroidered by Mrs. Lewis,
was given by Mrs. Henrietta
Carson to the Glory of God,
and in loving memory of her
husband Robert Alvin
Carson. •
In the children's focus, the
rector talked to the children,
and the youth choir led by
Susan Noon sang "Let me be
a little kinder." Then they
went downstairs with their
teachers for Sunday School.
The church was beautifully
decorated with flowers and
many balloons with St.
Thomas Church 100 years
printed on them. Each child
was told to take a balloon and
was asked to attach a card to
the string with their name
and address on it, then to set
it free, in the hope that so-
meone would find it and that
they would . hear from that
person.
In his sermon the Rev. Der-
rick
errick talked about the history
of the church and the com-
munity and said that what we
as Christian people need is the
love of Christ. The minister
also cited the work of Mother
Teresa and how she had in-
fluenced the world with her
dedication to her work of
salvation in India.
Special music was provided
by Philip Telfer who sang
"The Lord's Prayer," "There
is a balm in Gilead" and dur-
ing the communion, a selec-
tion of hymns by Philip Telfer
and Lynda Hodgins as a duet
and a number by the youth
choir.
The Holy Eucharist was
celebrated with the Rev. Der-
rick as the Celebrant assisted
by the 'Rev. Mary Mills a
former rector of St. Thomas.
At the conclusion of the com-
munion, the children were
taken up to the altar rail and
blessed by the rector.
Following the service
everyone was invited to join
in a time of fellowship and to
partake of a buffet luncheon
in the church hall, where
many pictures of the past
adorned the walls; it was a
great time for reminiscing.

St. Thomas's church
history
In 1883, under the spiritual
leadership of Thomas
Magahy (of Holy Trinity,
Lucan) the Anglicans of
Granton built their first place
of worship: a little wood -
frame church at the corner of
Queen and Isabella streets.
To this little frame church
were added a vestry (1897),
and a bell and tower (1898) . In
1920, a memorial window
depicting Jesus Christ as the
Good Shepherd was installed
and dedicated in this same
building.
In 1928, responding to the
needs of a growing congrega-
tion, the wardens of St.
Thomas purchased the pre-
sent church building, on King
Street, from the Methodist
Communion. In preparation
for its first Service of Worship
on the third Sunday in June,
1928, the present building was
remodelled, and incorporated
the bell, the memorial win-
dow', and the organ from the
wood -frame church.
Over the years, members of
the congregation have started
various groups and
ministries, many of which
continue today, notably: the
Sunday School, the Choir
(first organized in 1953), the
Ladies Guild (formerly the
Women's Auxiliary, and
later, the Anglican Church
Women) and the Chancel
Guild. '
Unit 4 of Granton UCW met
in St. Marys for a dinner par-
ty meeting at the St. Joe's
Retaurant. Following the
meal, Mrs. Humphrey led in
devotions with the theme -
Petty Annoyances, many
thoughts were brought out,
such as a broken down
washing machine, footprints
across a once clean floor and
tactless remarks.
During the business period,
tickets for the pork barbecue
and strawberry supper were
distributed to the members to
sell. This will take place June
22 in the Granton Communi-
ty Park. The program for the
General U.C.W. meeting in
June, for which Unit 4 is
responsible; was planned and
finalized. There will be no
meetings for July and August.

June 8, 1983
Dear Mr. Batten and staff;
May we convey to you a
most sincere thank you for
willingly acting as a drop -
point for books for the Annual
Book Sale sponsored by the
Blyth Centre for the Arts.
This event, which was held
last weekend, was successful
in every way. Our literary
readings were a great suc-
cess, as were our puppet
shows, art display and folk
concert for children. Over
$1,300 was raised from this
fund-raising event, and that
amount will help in the opera-
tion of the Blyth Summer
Festival.
Please accept the grateful
thanks of the Board and
myself for your assistance
and interest in this event. It
will long be remembered.
Yours sincerely
Marian Doucette

P.S.
We also appreciated the
coverage your newspaper
gave this event. Thark you.
ducted a contest entitled "The
Will." The meeting closed
with the Benediction.
Cubs and Beavers entertain
The annual Father and Son
banquet for the Granton
Cubs, Beavers and ;heir
leaders, was held in the
United Church basement.
Following the meal, Cubs Vic-
tor Kop and Jeremy Noon
were each awarded a Wolf
Cub Plaque, with all the
badges they had earned in the
past three years, on it.
The guest speaker was Mrs.
Bruce Pierce who gave a talk
on our native Indians, then
displayed and described a
number of artifacts (Indian)
that she and her husband, the
Rev. Bruce Pierce had col-
lected over the past 20 years.
Mother and Daughter
banquet
The Granton CGIT mother
and daughter was held in the
United Church basement.
Kendall Anderson invited the
guest's to tables decorated in
pink and white. After a toast
to the church and the meal
blessing, a delicious dinner,
prepared by the mothers, was
eaten by candlelight. Chris
Jones and Christine Currah,
graduates of this year's
CGIT, cut the decorated cake
donated by Lillus Riddell.
Jennie Anderson welcomed
the mothers and asked the
girls to join her in a toast to
them. The reply was given by
Mrs. Hayden who also con-
gratulated the girls in their
many community projects.
Mrs. Harding made a toast to
the daughters remarking how
special it was to her to do so
as her mother had the oppor-
tunity to do so 20 years ago
when she herself was a
CGITer. Christine Currah
•replied.
.Chris Jones introduced the
guest speaker, Linda Wallis.
Linda gave a very personal
talk on how she and her hus-
band are treating and dealing
with their son's cystic
fibrosis. Through prayer,
although Linda said many
people would say coincidence,
directionsand answers have
been given to them, guiding
them in their son's care. They
discontinued the required
supply of medication (30 pills
a day) advised by the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation, and
have been giving him instead
nutritious food and food sup-
plements trying to keep as
much as possible to natural
foods.
After one year of no
medication, Peter has been
checked by his pediatrition
and told that he was in good
health, growing at a normal
rate and we, who know him,
can add that he's a very hap-
py, contented boy. This was a
beautiful testimony of a fami-
ly's faith', told in a warm, sen-
sitive manner.
The CGITers spoke on
various meetings throughout
the year and brought back
many memories of the times
shared together. Mrs.
McRobert, in her general
remarks, congratulated the
girls on always being willing
and dependable. Awards
were read and handed out to
the girls and many of the
guests by Mrs. Harloff. Each
was compared to a symbolic
conveyance that resembled
their personality, their
qualities of their work.
Remark: were made by
Julie McRobert, the Explorer
leader, who presented "E"
pins to these graduates who
were then issued an invitation
to join the CGiT group by San-
dy Rooney.
A pageant was presented
by the CGITers on Mothers of
the Bible. The "Spirit of
Motherhood" lit an ap-
propriate candle as each
"mother" read her part. The
evening ended with a prayer
by Rev. Pierce.
