Problem of locked
gates at Oakwood remains unsolved
Grand Bend council failed to reach
a settlement with the Oakwood Park
Association on Monday's regular
meeting.
Church news
At the Grand Bend United Church
this past Sunday, Rev. Peebles began
with the children's story. "Which is
Greater? 60 plus 10 or 10 plus 60?"
From a Christian point of view, it is
much better to begin at 10, with 60
years ahead to know, love and serve
God.
Rev. Peebles sermon, "Correcting
Our Course," was taken from scrip•
tures read by Elizabeth Adams from
Acts 26. Rev. Peebles commented
that people ask him why so many
things are in such a mess - i.e. rela-
tionships between people, between
governments, between countries. We
must find and face Jesus Christ, and
make the necessary changes in our
life. We have veered off the road, and
missed it altogether. f -
A man named Saul was way. oft
track until he met God on the road,
and was utterly changed into St. Paul.
When we are confronted with pro-
blems, we must ask what Jesus would
do, using- the Bible in its Divine
Wisdom as the ultimate way of cor-
recting our course.
The congregation offered prayers
for fellow parishioner Mr. George
Stacey, who is presently recovering
in hospital from a heart attack he suf-
fered while down south, on vacation
in Florida.
Rev. and Mrs. Peebles left Monday
morning for a two week vacation in
Florida. -They'll he visiting Mr. and
Mrs. Stacey while down there.

ed with barbed wire across the top

vandalism occurred at Oakwood

damage; hoping to deter further
vandalism.

Church of God
- The morning worship service at the
Church of God was led by George
%inegarden. Piano and organ were
played by Phyllis and Morley Desjar-
dine. Michelle and Michael Vincent
sang a duet "Whispering Hope".
Rev. Desjardine's message was
taken from Colossians 2:1-7, "The Im-
perative of Spiritual Growth". St.
Paul prayed for•spiritual growth in
the believers and so should we pray
daily to grow in our relationship with
Christ.
The evening service was opened by
Bethany Desjardine leading the con-
gregation in singing the chorus "Turn
Your Eyes Upon Jesus". Eileen Des-
jardine played a medley of hymns
upon the piano, as a special treat.
Pastor Desjardine's topic was
"Temptation". We can all be assured
that despite the certainty of our temp-
tation, God is faithful and never
allows us to be tempted above what
we are able to bear.
Everyone was reminded to invite
friends to the evening service next
Sunday, February 22, when Bob
I teywood will be there to perform and
to preach.
The women of the Church of God
met Thuusday evening, and enjoyed
their guest Mrs. Rosemary Ferguson,
of Ferguson Apiaries. Mrs. Ferguson
demonstrated the methods used in
candy making with honey - both an in-
teresting and a delicious interlude for
everyone there!
The meeting was chaired by Millie
Desjardine, in the absence of vaca-
tioning president, Lucille Vincent.
The roll call was a funny question and
answer quiz, about "how well we
know each other". After the business
of the meeting, Pat Desjardine did the
"Meet Your Missionary" profile on a
couple working for the Church of God
in Thailand, Karen and Marvin'
Helsel.
Several ladies took part in a skit led
by Katie Vincent, called "To Love
Loving". Millie Desjardine sang a
solo "Getting Used to the Family of
God". The ladies enjoyed the varied
activities of the meeting, and were
glad they had come out, even on such
a cold blustery night.
way. Both parties agreed it's serious,
because a lot of people do enjoy ski-
ing to the Oakwood Inn by this route.
Earley told council that a specific
request was received at their last
regular meeting to have it locked.,,
"We also pay for winter security, a
once a week check" he added.
The two men will go back to their ex-
ecutive and return a reply by letter to
council. Green suggested that they
speak to the sarcastic Oakwood resi-
dent to inform her that Grand Bend
has only a few year-round residents
living near the pathway, who are
mostly seniors, and certainly not
vandals.
Council will wait for the associa-
tion's reply at the next regular
meeting on March 3.
The annual statement of remunera-
tion and expenses for members of
council was presented at the meeting
showing the following totals for 1986:
