No. 21 Grand Bend 238-8603 tJ St, ltd Churches mark season United Church On this third Sunday of Advent. members of the Grand Bend United Church shared in the lighting of the third candle, the Shepherd's Candle, with Robert Illman, Don and Jared Kobe and Dianne Rice as readers. The choir sang, "Christmas Bells Ring Out", and "Watchman, Tell Us of the Night". Scriptures taken from John 1 and Hebrews 1 were read by Dianne Rice. Rev. Peebles sermon topic was "Does God Speak to Us Today?" In the old testament God presented his truths through the prophets, but in the new testament, and yet today, God speaks through His Son, the Babe of Bethlehem. Many do not hear, they are not listening, too busy,"—Too rebellious, too self-sufficient, too in- volved with the pleasures of this - world. But God does speak to us today, if we slow down and take time to listen to God's word in church worship, bi- ble reading and prayer. The message of Advent is "For God So Loved the World". He wants to come into our lives, so let's share that news with others. In the evening, the Sunday School presented their Christmas program, with about 30 children taking part. The Christmas story was read, in- terspersed with carols. sung by the children and the congregation. There' were also solos, duets, piano and( guitar numbers, to provide a beautiful inspiration for this holy season. Church of God Sunday school began the services at the Church of God, followed by mor- ning service. All services are still be- ing held in the church basement, as the church is not completely repaired from the fire this past summer. Mrs. Phyllis Desjardine presided at the piano for both morning and evening services, as did George Winegarden, who was'song leader. He took time out in the evening service for testimonies and favorite hymns. Mrs. Pat Desjardine, the pastor's wife, told of her visit with her grand- mother, mother, aunts and family in Florida. A very pleasant surprise awaited her return, to find that the parsonage was all spic and span, with new paint, new floor coverings, some new furniture and all their things moved in. Mrs. Desjardine express- ed her thanks to the church family for making such a lovely home. In the morning service, Janet Des- jardine's special solo was "The Birth of Baby Jesus". Pastor Desjardine took his text from John 1:14-18, bas- ed upon the key words Incarnation, Redemption, Restoration and Confir- mation. In John 1:14 "And the Word was made Flesh and Dwelt among us and we beheld his glory as of the on- , ly begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth, this quite defines beautiful- ly that great gift of God. In the evening service, Rev. Desjar- dine chose John 7 as his scripture, verses 38-52, with some diverse descriptions and opinions of Christ. Do these opinions differ that much from the views of today? Please remember that next Sun- day, December 21 is Christ's Birthday offering, with the Christmas program in the evening service. To the sick and shut-ins, may God's richest blessings be with you this season. Catholic news This was the third Sunday of advent at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Grand Bend. The pastor, Father Morrissey celebrated all the masses, with Father Vincent Van Zuphthen from St. Peter's Seminary as guest speaker. Mr: and Mrs. Walt Costello lit the third candle on the ad- vent wreath, and both of them were, later, the lay Communion distributors or Eucharistic Ministers. Walt Costello also was reader at 11 a.m. Mass, with Denise Duchou as cantor. In the Gospel, St. John the Baptist, while in prison, asked Christ if He was' truly the Messiah "or are we to look for another?" The Jews, according to Father VanZuphthen were expecting a messiah - king or messiah warrior, certainly not a messiah of peace like Jesus Christ. Jesus told him how "the blind see, the deaf hear, and the poor have the gospel preached to them". In order to achieve salvation, we must not only know about God, but must ex- perience Him in our daily lives. As the choir sang "The Angel Gabriel From Heaven Came," the members of the congregation came forward with donations of gifts and canned food for needy families in the parish. By the last Mass, a sizeable amount • had been collected at the front of the church. The choir's Com- munion Hymn was "Come Back To Me." Congratulations and welcome to Daniel Josef Masse, the son of Michael and Wendy (Risi) who was received into the Catholic Communi- ty this past week by the Sacrament of Baptism. Father Morrissey wishes to thank all Lectors and all Eucharistic Ministers for carrying out their responsibilities in God's service, so well. Father Morrissey also wishes to in- vite all members of the community to attend the Christmas Eve service at 7:15 p.m. on December 24. There will be a children's choir plus the adult choir, who have been rehearsing a beautiful program. including the "Hallelulia Chorus" by Handel. The carol service will begin shortly after 6:30 p.m. Please come to hear the in- spirational sounds of Christmas!

First on the agenda, Grand Cove Estates plane& Andrew Orr, and manager Sharon VanHevel, ap- proached council to obtain their ap- proval for expansion plans. prr ex- plained that the Cove would like to add 114 new units. It wouldbe divided in- to two phases; 58 in phases one. and 56 in phase two. Although this addition is located in the Township of Stephen, the Cove needed Grand Bend's approval to use their sewage works and water system. Orr presented a drawing of the new area for council to view. This same drawing was submitted to the Ministry of the Environment. The ministry felt that Grand Bend's sanitary sewers could handle the ex- tra units on the present system. The letter from MOE explained this and would be handled at the same cost that had been previously set. Orr also had on hand the original signed docu- ment of current owners, Ridge Pine Park Inc., to show what the cost of water and sewage would be. Orr explained to council that with help from the Township of Stephen, an analysis of traffice flow from the Cove was completed. It was decided that an additional entrance off Highway 81 was not needed. He said that this entrance would only be us- ed as a short cut to Highway 21, and he felt that the Cove did not need this added traffic on their narrow streets. Council agreed with Orr, and pass- ed a motion to advise Orr that they concur with Grand Cove Estates to authorize the reeve and clerk to give approval for expansion. Reeve Harold Green was told that this wa,, the final stage for any development in the Cove. It will make a total of 417 dwell- ings there. Two taxpayers from River Road then took the hot seat before council. Ann and Verne Fischer approached council to see if their noise by-law could be reviewed. The couple told council that they are unable enjoy the privacy of their own backyard because of the loud music ( noise) vibrating across the river from The Gables Tavern. They went on to say that their sleep -time is also inter- rupted and they cannot watch TV without being disturbed. Especially from Thursday to Saturday nights Ann said. Fische? told- council that they had phoned the by-law enforce- ment officer, Keith Crawford, last summer, who had the noise checked then. On behalf of the Gables, managers Bonnie McCann and Larry Mason at- tended this meeting. In defense. Mason said that they have gone out of their way to settle this problem. Dou- ble doors have been installed, they just have to be approved by the fire marshal.. lie said that Fischers were the sole complaintants; their neighbours the Brenners had not complained.
