United Church
Guest minister at the Grand Bend
United Church this Sunday was Rev.
Pickell of Goderich. His message for
the congregation was titled "Life,
More Abundant''. Sharing his
thoughts on this topic. he told them
how some people think that life is just
one darn thing after another. Some
live for the here and now, with no
horizons or purpose. while others are
running away from responsibility.
Life abundant and life in all fullness
is availahle to all. Any person who has
Christ in his heart lives an uplifting,
elevating life.
The choir anthem was "Will it be
You?" Door greeters were Pat and
Elgin Hendrick. The ushers were
Chantelle Crabe and Sarah Patterson.
The children's time was a story
"Your Invisible Friend." This invisi-
ble friend is always with us at work -
or play or wherever we are, our con-
science. We should pay attention to
the warnings it gives us.
itible Study
The ecumenical Bible study was
held Tuesday morning at the home of
Nita Sinclair. in Southcott Pines, with
I I attending. Prayer and hymn sing
preceded the lesson, led by Gwen
Campbell. They reviewed the studies
so far. the clean heart, the humble
heart, the contented heart and the
faithful heart. The diligent heart is re-
quired because of the difference in
personalities, the problems of every-
day life, and personal overconfidence,
or laxity.
The ladies discu.ssed how perfection
in any of these hearts includes the
others. They began the study of the
compassionate heart, and the various
needs met by tffe example of Christ
our Saviour. The next meeting will be
held at Sauhle Court, next Tuesday at
9:30a m., and will continue to be held
there for the month of September. All
ladies are welcome.
Catholic -News
Father Vincent Van ''uphthan was
the guest celebrant this weekend at
Immaculate heart of Mary Church,
t
in the absence of pastor, Rev. Bob
Morrissey. Lydia Duchou was the
cantor at the 11 a.m. mass, and the
choir sang "Fill My Cup, Lord" at
Communion. Steven Vrollyk was the
reader.
In his sermon, Father Vince pointed
out how both the epistle from Amos
and the gospel of the dishonest
steward dealt with cheating. Some
rob the poor by dishonest business
practices, while others cheat their
employers, from the Old Testament
times until the present day. Often a
new scam puts us in awe of the
crook's cunning and ingenuity.
Even Christ admired this spirit of
opportunism, while deploring the lack
of initiative on the part of the faithful.
So many opportunities to convert
others to Christ are lost to us, chances
seldom ignored by a crook to gain
benefit. We have a great gift of faith,
let us use each opportunity to pro-
claim Christ's kingdom.
Congratulations to Jason Martin
Kelders, the son of Martin and
Deborah 1 McGee) who was received
into the Catholic community through
the sacrament of Baptism. Con-
gratulations also go to Gregory Ken-
nedy and Sharon Journeau, who were

week.

Church of God
Wednesday evening the Bible study
group covered Revelations 4 and 5.
They discussed the worship of God
and of Christ, and why they are wor-
thy of worship.
Sunday morning. Rev. Barnhart
based his homily on Mark 7:24-30,
from the story of the woman who ask-
ed Christ to heal her daughter,
possessed of a demon. Her dilemma
posed three questions: what was the
problem, what did you want done
about it, and why did you want it
done? Dianna MacGregor read a
poem as a special number.
On Sunday evening, Rev. Barnhart
took his sermon from Joshua.7-8, on
the conquest of the city of Ai. The first
time the Israelites tried to capture the
city, they were defeated. After purg-
ing sin from their camp, they re-
attempted and were victorious.
Richard Desjardine sang a special
solo, "Ile Came for Me."
Win Trophy at Soccer

The Middlesex County Board of
Education, in a 10 -to -6 split vote, has
approved joining a type of self-
insurance plan for Ontario school
boards. The boards have come to con-
sider self-insurance because of recent
unusually large premium increases,
as much as 600 percent, required to
offset rising claims.
If 75 percent of all Ontario school
boards agree to the plan, it could go
into effect on January 1, 1987. It is
estimated that the new plan, called
the Reciprocal Insurance Exchange,
would have a policy premium of
$19,966, saving approximately $10,000
the first year for the Board. However,
if there were a large number of big
claims throughout the province, the
saving could be cut by increased
premiums in future years.
Looking at its student enrolment for
the new school year, the Board
reported a September 5 total of 10,708,
an increase of 111 from the enrolment
at the end of June. Secondary schools
increased by 170 while elementary
schools, expected to decline by 101,
showed a decline of only 45.
Enrolment increases at elementary
schools resulted in half-time
Kindergarten teachers being added at
Colborne Street, McGillivray and
Plover Mills Schools. Also, additional
classrooms were opened at Caradoc
Central, McGillivray, Northdale and
Westminster Central Schools to
reduce the size of extra -large classes
in Grades 1 to 8.
At the request of Lambeth trustee
Betty Poole the Board agreed to
reinstate a direct or "express" school
bus service between Lambeth and
Lord Dorchester Secondary School.
This was done in response to objec-
tions raised when one of the five buses
serving Westminster Township was
taken off, resulting in increased
travel time between Lambeth and the
school. Trustees were reminded that
the direct service was promised four
years ago when Lambeth area
students were first accommodated at
Dorchester.
The Board also received its School
Year Report for 1985-86. In addition
to school superintendents' comments
about the program of each school, the
Report contains the three program
reviews the superintendents carried
out last year: (1) Integration of the
Four Aspects of Language in the
English Program for Grade 5, (2)
Early Identification of Children's
Learning Needs, and (3) the Role of
the Department Head in Program.
The Report also lists the 1985-86 On-
tario Scholars in Middlesex County
secondary schools (Ontario Scholars
are students who obtain 80 percent or
consolation. Most of their players are
underage in relation to the other com-
petition. Missing from this recent win
were players Bobby Mollard and
Jesse Morrice. Vandenberk hosted a
pool party for his mosquito and
peewee teams last Sunday afternoon.
About Town
Comments last week about Mon-
soon Seasoh seem to have become a
self-fulfilling prophecy. This rain is
getting out of hand, and into too many
basements! Have you checked
yourself for the growth of fungi late-
ly? Soon we'll all be sprouting
mushrooms from our ears.!
Rev. and Mrs. R. Peebles and
daughter Carol, of the Grand Bend
United Church, attended the baptism
of their son Kenneth and daughter-in-
law Amandah, at the Glen Cairn Bap-
tist Church in London.
Community sympathy is expressed
to the family, children, grand and
great-grandchildren of Mary Ravelle,
who passed away Friday, September
19 at the Blue Water Rest Home in
Zurich. Mary was in her 94th year.
Funeral service was on Monday,
September 22 from Hoffman's
Funeral Home, with interment in
Grand Bend Cemetery.
Barry Hamilton of Ottawa spent the
weekend with his parents, Clara and
Alec Hamilton of Grand Bend.
Barry's wife Betty is presently up at

Graham is seriously ill at Hay River
Hospital.
The Sauhle Court Tennant's
Association will be holding their Quilt
Draw on Saturday September 27 at 3
p.m. in the main lounge. Visitors are
welcome.
Recent visitors with Janet Desjar-
dine of Sauble Court' were her son
Russell and his wife Marilee Desjar-
dine, from flay River, Northwest Ter-
ritories. This was a real surprise visit,
the first in six years, a very wonder-
ful few days for Janet. Russell's wife
Marilee, is a nurse, and he works with
airport maintainence crew, plus the
long winters, so they get little oppor-
tunity to visit.

THE FUNERAL IS OVER, WHAT MORE CAN 1 DO?
When someone we are close to loses a loved one we offer them com-
fort and hope by attending the wake and funeral services. These ac-
tivities are very helpful because a period of grieving is needed as on
emotional outlet. They help the survivors to accept the deceased's
death through the presence of friends and relatives.
But a feeling of emptiness often follows when those closest to the
deceased are back home alone after the formalities are over. You
might ask yourself "now that the funeral is over, what more can I do
to help?"
In his book, Death and Dying, Leonard Pearson suggests two things:
1. It is necessary for the bereaved to have some time alone to think
and finish the grieving process.
2. At the same time, frequent -and -short -visits from friends and
relatives are in order... especialy visits which encourage the bereav-
ed to take part in some activity they enjoy.
Pearson also says that we should visit in the spirit of real friendship
for the bereaved and not just because they have lost a loved one. Peo-
ple want our love, ndt our pity.
We invite you to consult us for books and articles on this and other
related subjects.
