Sunday afternoon, January 20th, was the time of the annual Congregational meeting of St. Paul's United Church, Bowmanville. Following the regular morning service members of the congregation repaired to the Church Hall and enjoyed a sumptuous pot-luck luncheon. Children were provided with entertainment in another room and the business meeting was called to order about 1:30 p.m. The Rev. N.E. Schamerhorn presided over the meeting in which the events and successes of the church's 150th. Anniversary year were reviewed and plans made for the future year. Booklets containing a message from the minister, condensed minutes of the 1984 Congregational meeting, and annual reports of all boards, organizations and groups of the church were available to everyone for their perusal. The meeting was opened with a memorial tribute to all the members and adherents who had passed away during 1984, and prayer. The leaders of all the groups reviewed, and where necessary explained their reports which showed a very prosperous year with all financial obligations met and much service rendered through the church and community. All reports were approved as printed and budgets and allocations for 1985 were accepted with increases in accord with the recommended percentage. 1984 was a very special and eventful year for St. Paul's being the 150th Anniversary of the church in Bowmanville which began with a mid-night candle-light worship service and concluded with a Living Nativity piageant on the church grounds. Along with well-attended and inspirational Church services many special events were held under the sponsorship of various groups of the church. Among them was a service taken by the Rev. Harold Turner, a former minister in the church for 24 years, a special Anniversary service with an over-flow attendance and The Rev. Clarke McDonald, Moderator of the United Church of Canada, as speaker. An placed second in the competition competition last year when it was held in Winnipeg. , At the annual meeting of the Durham Central Agricultural Society, Howard Bradley, R.R. 1, Bowmanville was elected president of the society for this year, Ray Staples, vice pres, and Grant Yeo, 2nd vice pres. ecumenical dinner for all women of the churches in Bowmanville with an attendance of over 200, hosted by the United Church Women. A series of concerts presented by the Performing Arts and sponsored by the choir, were well attended and enjoyed by all. A similar program is being planned again for this year. The Sunday School, at their Anniversary, presented a program looking at the past, present and into the future customs of the Sunday Schools. A book containing the history of St. Paul's was sponsored by the Official board and compiled and written by Bruce Ball. It is available as The Light on the Corner. A special musical event in the church was an evening concert presented by the General Motors choir sponsored by the Couple's Club. An outdoor service and picnic in June was a memorable event. The sale of T-shirts bearing the 150th Anniversary logo, mugs and plates with the picture of the church on them and the cooklxiok "The Mixing Bowl - 1984" compiled by the United Church Women, all made interesting souvenirs of such an historical year. The reports showed an increase in all departments - Church membership, Sunday School attendance, choir membership (especially in the junior or Chancel choir), Youth and Bible Study groups, services and contributions of the United Church Women both within the church and in the community. Sincere appreciation was extended to the leaders of all groups and recognition made of the contribution of the choirs, led by Doug Dewell and Mrs. Allanah Coles, which enhanced the Church services and of the dedication of the teachers and assistants with the Sunday School classes which are held during the time of the Church service, and after all had enjoyed their "Paper Bag" sermonette before they leave for their classes. The Tape service provided by the Session brings to many shut-ins, or those who are unable to attend the Church services, the pleasure of enjoying the music and messages of those services. Again, the St. Paul's Players presented a four-evening program of fun and music to capacity audiences providing good wholesome entertainment for a lot of people both young and older. The Golden Years Club brought sociability and inspiration to a large number of Senior Citizens twice a month during the Church year and provided many happy hours.

BAHA'I FAITH As Baha'i values, such as are now embodied In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, are Implemented, Implemented, a New Era is emerging. Phone 623-9519 Bowmanville WESLEYVILLE NEWS Snow was falling again on Sunday morning, January 27th, to add to the already drifted driveways. Several families were absent from church service at Welcome and surely some of those could not get past the snow banks. Mr, Tom Wilson gave the call to worship and the rest of the service was conducted by Rev. G. Rutherford. The guest speaker Was Mr. Ronald Neun. The story for the children was made clear by an illustration of sharing as one child received a whole cookie while others just got a crumb. The little one with the cookie was embarrassed and wanted to share. So it was easy to explain that in this whole world some receive i"y a mite, while others u ve abundance. The choir's lovely anthem was "If Ye Abide in Me." Envelopes were distributed for this quarter's collection for Ventures in Mission and 1984 reports were ready for distribution distribution with thanks to efficient secretary, Ruth Woodruff. Mr. Neun spoke for Ten Days for Development and made it plain to the adults as it had been to the children, the inequalities of our world. His topic was "Pushing aside the Curtains", to reveal unhappy conditions, both for lack of food and freedom. Those who live in abundance need to see the other side of the curtain, and realize that a minority of thé world's people use most of its abundance. When we see, we should do. No one person can create a miracle to solve the world's needs, but each person can get involved in some project which will help. There are many opportunities for such effort and our own bread will taste better. He concluded with a poem "Praise the Lord Anyhow." The congregation was interested interested in a book of poems he showed them which had been given by one of his grandparents grandparents to the other on the occasion of their marriage in 1888, with a handwritten scripture scripture message. The offering was received by John Connelly, Ron Brima- combe, Allin Osborne and Ron Johnston. During the service, officers of the AOTS men's club for 1985 were installed by Rev. Rutherford. They are: Honorary Pres. Rev. G. Rutherford, Past Pres. Tom Wilson, Pres. Bruce Hendry, Vice Pres. Lloyd Kellogg, Sec. George Tufford, Treas. Russell Baker, Conveners: Program, Laverne Farrow and Harold Austin; Projects, Allin Osborne; Membership, David Kellogg; Public Relations, Relations, John Connelly; Boys' work, Cliff Brice and George Tufford; Pianist, Morley Bickle. Coffee was served after the service. A week ago Saturday, neighbour Alberta Anderson of Morrish was taken to Port Hope hospital with sudden heart trouble. We are glad to say she is improving every day but will be there for a short time yet. Local people attending the Open House at the old Midland Hotel on John Street were impressed with the renovation and congratulate the owner, A. K. Sculthorpe on this achievement. Edwin and Helene Karvonen of Scarborough visited here on Saturday and Carroll and June Nichols were in Toronto on Thursday, going by way of the Go Train. Winter pastimes are in full swing. On Saturday, January 26, snowmobilers and skiiers were taking advantage of the beautiful ' snow conditions north of the railroad tracks. The day was cold but pleasant with no wind. There were flocks of snowbirds, and even some Canada geese seen flying along the lakeshore. Surely, they were the hardy few who spent the winter here. Those who enjoy fishing through the ice are having much success according to Harold and Verna Austin who tell of the dozens of huts hauled out on the ice of the lake when they were there. A meeting of the AOTS of Hope charge of the United Church was held at Welcome on Sunday night, January 26th and the youth group of the charge will meet there on Sunday night, February 3. Winter is truly with us and I wish it would go away. I don't care if the windshield washer people do go broke, I'm going broke buying the stuff and I'm sure my car body is going to' dissolve completely away under its coating of salt. It's good to hear Catherine Stewart\i5 coming,along fine and should be abfclto be in Bowmanville Hospfel'in the near future. It was gratifying to see an article on the W.I. and their activities in the paper, and it's quite true that many think of the W.I. as little else but a monthly get-together to exchange the latest gossip. The truth is, even if we do gossip, we are a very hard working bunch (why is it men discuss and women gossip?) Over the years, membership has been slow and many institutes need new and younger members, Kendal's included. It would be great if some of you young wives would give it a try. For three dollars a year and a little of your time, how could you lose and what better way to meet a neighbor? Try it, you might like it. The card party in Kendal this weekend saw eight and a half tables with Wayne Lowery and Norma Moffat tying for high score; second high was Aleck Moffat, with Lena Clysdale fourth. Darlene Mercer won the 50-50. The next card party is February 8th. Speaking of February, I guess the next exciting event is February 2nd with Mr. Groundhog and his shadow. Has anyone ever noticed that regardless of shadows we still seem to get six more weeks of winter. These little furry critters are a canny bunch, all the time we think it's us doing the watching when in truth they're watching us, and no doubt scratching their heads in wonder. Lange's Win All season long J & J and Langes have always tied one another. Saturday looked like it was going to happen again but not so as Langes broke a 1 - 1 tie with minutes to go. Congratulations Langes on a great game. Although J & J was out played by Langes, J & J showed showed great aggressive play by Chris Schievink and Donny Richards. Kim Duczmalewski played another strong game along with Tim Richards. J & J's only goal was scored by Chris Schievink assisted by Donny Richards and Greg MacKay.

Looking into the future, great things were seen for St. Paul's with all working together in the faith of their forbears. -- Submitted by Mrs. W.
