0r' Orono WAeekiy T1imeý:Wodcnesciay, AprU 24, 1996 - 3 Ze l4.lZeý Kate Lang Bryon Grundy If any of you had ever tried f0 re-upholster even fhe sim- plest seat cushion, like 1 have, you can appreciate how diffi- cuif if is. This week's neîgh- bour has made a life's work ouf of doing just fhat. For the past 20 years, Bryon Grundy has been bringing new life to old furnifure. If ail sfarfed when hie was 19 years old and worked in an office furnifure manufac- turer. Lafer, hie and his fami- ly opened a business in Cobourg, fhen moved if fo Oshawa, but Il years ago, fhey seffled inOrono. "We liked Oshawa, but we are just not city people. We really loved the small fown atmosphere. I like walking down fhe street and knowing everyone. Bryon and his wife Margaret (of 30 years, nexf monfh) have raised fhree chil- dren. Steven 27, who helps wifh fhe business, Scoft 25, and Shannon 24. 1I was raised on a farmn in Casflefon where my closesf neighbour was 2 miles away. We were surrounded by farma land, and if was greaf. I want- ed my kids fo be in an area like fhat." "We are really busy with the business, but one fhing in Orono thaf Margaret and 1 enjoy gefting involved in is the Horticultural Society." I asked Bryon why he enjoys the upholstering busi- ness. "I fhink fhe old fumi- fure has s0 much more char- acter fhan fhe new and if is a great way f0 recycle. If we do 300 pieces of furniture a year, then there is 300 pieces thaf aren'f taking up space in a dump." By fhe looks of his work shop, Grundy's is equipped f0 do jusf about any job. "We have customers from Toronto f0 Cobourg and north f0 Peterborough. Our motto is 'The besf job thaf we know how f0 do, at a price you can afford'" To be in business for 20 years, fhey have f0 be doing somefhing right.

The invitation f0 Worship and fhe Prayer of Approach was fol- lowed by the hymn "How Firmn A Foundaf ion" The Prayer of Self- Examinafion and fhe Words of Assurance, were said. The Youfh Choir sang, "Sheep, the Shepherd Knows". A video of work done by a Church in CabbagetowTi was shown, with M&S funds they resfore bicycles for those who can'f, afford fhem, they feed fhose who need if. David fhen furned f0 the children who had corne for-, ward for fhe sfory as soon as you saw him you knew fhat somefhing was wrong, He asked fhe children if fhey knew whaf was fhe maffer? They soon fold him fhat he was fasfened up wrong, fhaf he had beffer sfraighfeii his buffons. He re-did fhem but ended up wifh fhem nof righf, David fold them fhat his mofher would have said fhat he had one f00 many snaps on fhe boffom on one side and one f00 many on the ofher side af the top. His sis- fer would have, fold him f0 start over and do them Up lrom the boftom and work his way up, hc asked hiow many have shoes that lace up, hc ailways hafed laces, when he was liftle his mofher had fo heip him, mothers always are helping you learn how f0 do thmngs. Jesus was liffle just like fhe children here and his mother had fo help Him and faught Hima how f0 do things. The chiidren's hvmn wn'Q "Family of God". The Sermon was fitled "A Woman's Place Is". Marfha said, "I do believe you are the Messiah, fhe son of God". You would expecf thaf sentence f0 have come from one of fhe disciples. Marfha was known as the whiner, always complaining fhat Mary did nof do her share of fhe work. If you were talking about Mary, you would have fo describe fhe Mary you meanf, fhere are so many in fhe Bible. Marfha was fhe sisfer of Lazarus who had been lying in the tomb for 4 days before Jesus came. She complained because He was so long in coming, she complains abouf Mary nof doing her share, Jesus told her thaf whaf Mary was doing was impor- tant. If was Martha fhaf wenf ouf alone f0 meef Jesus and if was fhen she made fhe sfafement thaf she knew Jesus was the Messiah. All over fhe world, even foday, girl children are con- sidered f0 be worth less than boys, fhey are puf down, made subservient. Jesus, was not pufting down, Martha, Jesus was sfating fhaf she was imiportanf, fhaf not only men could study God's work. Women have been held down ail thru the ages, buf changes have been taking place as women and men became frusfing and accepf- cd that ail people were creat- ed equal. The place for women is, wherever they are, vhafever they- are doing, they reach their full pofenfiaf . No matter what if may be, staying home and being a fulftime home- maker ai-d mother or working at a job away from home. Jesus made it known thaf, Martha was important, what she was doing was important. Her place in life was impor- tant. The hymn, "Christ Be The Lord 0f Ail Our Days', was sung the, Prayer Of Thankfulness and the Offering was received, fol- lowed by the Prayer of Concern and Commitment. The closing hymn was "pa Forth Your Word". Sorry to report thaf the Pancake Breakfast was flot f00 well attended but the sale of Pies went well, perhaps there were just f00 many fhings going on elsewhere. Mother's Day is coming soon, there are stili some Commemoratîve plates of the 125th Anniversary of Kendal United church. They would make a niee gift for Mofher or for someone who colleets plates. They have been reduced f0 $7.00, contact Helen Wood or Thelma Wesflake or beffer sf111 corne ouf f0 Church and purchase one as you leave.
