16 - Oroino: Weekly Timiies,Wednesdaý y, J.u ne:7,19 95 Kendal Column by Phyllis Lower 1 am starting this colurnn with an "Appeal ", for stories, memnories. As you no doubt know, this is dhe 7th yuar of thu UJnited Church, butL, it is the 125th Annîversary of the church building in Kendal. Now I realize that there aren't many around Who can remuember when it wýasn't a United Church, but in our lifetime bhere there miust be mumiiories connected with this church, happy memories, sad memi- oies or funny mnemories, perhaps a s tory tolId to yo u by yo ur paren ts o r grandparents. It doesn't have to have taken place in the building but somuthing to do with a cburcb event. If you have a memory that you wouldn't mind sharing .with others, jot it down and send it to Helen Wood, R.R. 1, Kendal, LOA lEO or Thulma Westlake, R.R. 1, Newtonville LOA IJO. These ladies are goîng te put together a book of memories for the Anniversary service this October s0 kids if you have something te sharu, former members and present members write it down and send it, let's make this venture a suc- cess. Anniversary plates are also going te be available for sale, we are boping to make this a special event, after al 125 yuars of con- tinuous use is something to be cul- ebrated. This past week bas seemed te fly by andIl can't rememnber getting anything accomplisbud, one of the perks of olti age is you can use it as an excuse for: 1) not doing some- thing; 2) forgetting about it; 3) not able to do it. Lately 1 have buen usig ail three excuses an awful lot, but at least when it is not raining 1 get the grass cut, if nothing else. l've given up on the weuds in the flower bed, can't bend over. Grass getting long under and around sbrubs, don't have strength to use hand clipper or mower, see how these excuses work, I'm enjoying the warm weather and doing wbat 1 can. Sunday was a beautiful day, after the wet Fiday and Saturday. Sorry that there were some Who could not attend church as it was an interesting service. This was U.C.W. Sunday, Pat Atitins was in charge of the service and welcomed everyone to wor- ship. The opening hymn was, "Comne Let Us Sing 0f A Wonderful Love", followed by the Invitation to Worship and the Prayer of Approachi. The hymn "Breathe On Me Breath QfLife," was sung and Pat read the Prayer of Self- Examination and gave the Words of Assurance. Lorraine Blackç gave the chil- dren's story, she told thuin that teday she was going to talk about 'Love". * She said Valentines, means love, who would they give one to? They gave many answers. How do we show love io our parents? We could do the dishes, help with chores. To the teachers we could study harder, tbis would make their work easier, in Sunday School we could learn our lessons and this would teach us te help others. This is Love. Lorraine was cutting something as she talked, when she showed iLte the children, it was three huarts joined tegether, this is thue way we are ait joined together, by love. The cildren's hymn was, "Love Is Somectbing If You Give It AwAay". Ian Savage sang a lovely solo, ",Wondrous Grace 0f Our Lord". Ann Dilks read the scripturu, i Corinthians 13: 1-8. 1Pat then introduced their special speaker, giving a bief history of her background. Lorraine Black was born on Prince Edward Island, growing up on a farm, remembers that there was no bydro. Lorraine was dibe ldest of three girls and had te help with ail the chores. Like many young she left the Island wben in her teens and came to Toronto te find work. She married and had two daughiters, the eldest is a nurse in Scarborougb an3d Kelly lives witb Lorraine and David in Iewtenville. Lorraine bas always bjeen active in cburch work wber- eyer she bas lived and ber rural bckground bas certainly helped her to bucome an important part of our community. Lorraine titled ber talk, "Love - - Could You Live Without It?" Could you imagine a life with- out love, not baving someone or something flot loving you? Lorraine told us of a Chaplain who was teld she could speak on a topic of ber choice, at a Chaplain's Conference. She spoke to mem- bers of ber famnily, ber friends about what she should talk about, she then chose te taik about Love. God, gave us Ris son, te die and save us. . . on radio and TV, we hear and se ail these people doing terrible things, do tbey flot have anyone to love them? Did they not have anyone te teacb them love and respect for the lives of others and for themselves? Father Vanier spoke of a group called Daybreak Community, north of Toronto. These are ail called physically or mentally handi- capped, here they can live and work at their own level, Father Vanier sayý that their greatest gift to man is their ability to love, this is their main goal, he says they weru born te love. Have you found your purpose in life? Can you say that you have accomplishi what you set out to do? Wu sbould look at ourselves first before trying to change the world. It is like making a patch- work quilt, first you pick the pat- tern, then you cut and then you sew the first two pieces toguther then you keep adding until you formi the shape you want. You do it bit by bit. The U.C.W. does much the same for the world, they save old uyeglasses to enable thosu who can't afford glasses to recuive help. They save labels from cans and tumn thein in on needud items for others . .. they providu lunch for those who have been bereaved, tbey save and send clothes to the needy, tbey sew and knit, ail these things show "Love", Love for mankind and for each other. 'A teacher once decided wo try an expfniment to show ber love for ber students and te raise their self estem,.
