Activities around The Bend By Roberta Walker GRAND BEND - Halloween is over for another year, and we hope that none of the little ghosts and goblins got into trouble by overdos- ing on those sweet treats, or trip- ping over their costumes in the dark. Already the smiles on the jack -o - lanterns are starting to sag in the warm sun, but cooler temperatures will keep them smiling for a while yet. A number of Grand Bend Golden Agers met for games and fun at the Sauble Court Lounge last Thursday afternoon. They had such a good time they may do it again - no meeting, just a social event. Anyone interested in taking a bus trip on December 19 to see the Christmas lights of Sarnia, please call 238-2948. The Grand Bend Women's Insti- tute will be meeting on November 9 at 1:30 p.m. in the United Church classrooms. The guest speaker will be Hilda Cornell of Denfield, speaking about Postal Services. The date was changed because of the Annual Turkey Supper at the United Church on Wednesday, No- vember 8. Don't forget to buy tick- ets for a great church supper. Lioness Club The Grand Bend Lioness Club held their October meeting at Sand- ers Restaurant with members all dressed for Halloween. There were four guests, Lioness from Port Stanley. The speaker for the eve- ning was Mr. Rupert Inch, the Liai- son Officer for District A-1, who commended the club for their record of community service in the Grand Bend area. The Lioness made a donation to the new Grand Bend Pathfinders Unit. The club is taking orders now for Christmas cheese, and orders should be in by the next meeting, November 23, at Sanders Restau- rant. If you want to order some cheese just ask any Lioness mem- ber.

Nearly 200 CWL members from across the Huron -Perth Deanery at- tended the meeting, along with 12 spiritual directors, who con- celebrated a Mass for the assembly. The morning workshops focused on improving communication with- in the League, and developing a better understanding of its organi- zation. In Father Hardy's address on ev- angelization, he.called for all CWL councils to reach out to Catholics everywhere whether in Church or lapsed Catholics, to make our churches places of real welcome. Only 1/3 of Canadians today are practicing Christians, of whatever denomination. The vast majority are lapsed Christians, members of Eastern religions and the un- churched, in today's society. Bible Study Bible study was held in Grand Bend last Tuesday morning at the Sauble Court Lounge with 14 la- dies present. They began Part 3 "Women Who Prayed" from the book "Women Who Believed God". They studied the story of Hannah, from the Book of Samuel: 1-28. Hannah was childless and prayed to God out of a broken heart, asking Him for a son. She was very specific in her prayer, but also persistent and unselfish. She promised to give her boy back to the Lord, to serve Him in the Tab- ernacle. Doris Peebles was the dis- cussion leader, who closed with prayer remembering the sick and shut-ins. • NO! Get the facts. Let's Talk.
