"A Family Tradition for 126 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, November 10, 1992 - 19 Deer hunters a colorful sight As Remembrance Day ap- roaches, Wednesday, Nov. 11, et us pause and remember the valiant sons of Canada who paid the supreme sacrifice and attend the Memorial Service if at all possible. Lest we forget the debt we owe to those who faced and fought the foe... and died that we might live to see a better world. Greater love hath no man than this that he lay down his life for his friends! Nestleton Women's Institute Blackstock Women's Insti- tute invited Nestleton branch to join with them on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at the United Church Hall when the two leaders Edith McLaughlin and Patricia Sleep presented "Entertain with a Flair." Recipe books were available to buy, and groups of four ladies each, made up the dishes. All sat down to a sump- tuous buffet, after sampling a fruit punch and clown sand- wiches. Rika Wygerde thanked the Blackstock members for in- cluding Nestleton in their dem- onstration. Each branch held their regu- lar meeting and correspondence was attended to. We will assist in having Food Bank Cooking Classes for regular users of the Food Bank supplies. The Henry Thompson Memorial Award for Proficiency in Grade 11 will be presented at Commencement, Nov. 14. It was decided to pay for sending one of the leaders to the course, and towards the cost of groceries for the luncheon. December meeting will be held at Rika's home, Dec. 2 at 12:30 p.m. with a pot luck luncheon, and Christmas celebrations. A card had been received from Durham County England Insti- tute, - a gift will be purchased and a card sent to them. Treas. report was given and pennies collected for friendship. Roll Call was answered - "Name an old time weather superstition," and Motto - "Take care of the land, and it will take care of you" was responded to individu- ally. A card of sympathy was signed to Mabel Cawker and family. Nestleton United Church A large attendance of wor- shippers at Nestleton on a beau- tiful Sunday, Nov. 8, 11:15 a.m. with Chuck and Carol Hill greeting at the door. Rev. Dale Davis conducted the service and opened with all joining in the call to worship. Karen Yellow- lees attended at the organ. The youth choir sang two numbers well with Steven Mairs and Kingsley Malcolm playing gui- tars and Joanna Malcolm di- recting and Katie Mairs at the piano. The children's theme... the story was about accepting people regardless of color of their skin, with Rev. Davis in charge. The Remembrance Day message to the congregation was interesting entitled "What Does the Lord Require of You" with Carol Hill, the reader. The Act of Confirmation was carried out by the Minister Rev. Davis assisted by Clerk of Ses- sion Richard MacKenzie, who presented the candidates, namely Kate Mairs, Steve Mairs and Kingsley Malcolm. (Confirmation - the act of con- firming a religious rite in which a person is strengthened in his baptismal faith and admitted to all the privileges of the church.) The vows of the candidates... the vows of the congregation... the confirmation and laying on of the hands... congregational blessing... choral response... prayers of the people, all added up to a very impressive service. Family Concerns Enjoyed a lovely dinner at the home of David and Cheryl Clarke in Peterborough on Sat- urday evening. Other guests were Arthur and Carroll Caw- ker of Sudbury. Son Arthur Cawker and wife Carroll, David and Cheryl Clarke of Peterbo- rough attended church service at Nestleton United on Sunday and enjoyed the service very much. After, they had dinner with Mabel Cawker at the farm- stead. We have had many visits with Al and El Cawker and Grant Cawker of Oshawa at the farm since father Sam passed away. [tis very much appreciat- ed! . The deer hunters presented a colorful sight as they took off on their annual hunt. Better luck this year with a deer and two coyotes to their credit. Nov. 11, 8 p.m., the Evening U.C.W. Unit will meet at the home of Yvonne Priebe in Cae- sarea. Nestleton Presbyterian Rev. Fairley conducted the regular service at 11 a.m. with Joyce Taylor, organist. The ush- ers were Barney McCabe and Russel Brown. Responsive Psalm was No. 65 and Scripture readings were from Hosea 14, and St. Luke 20. For the children, Rev. Fairley will be answering questions from children and adults about the Bible. There are questions in the Bible - the first being in Genesis - "Where are you?" "Remembrance" was the topic covered by the sermon, and how the spirit to worship and praise God, carries forward all through our lives, from early childhood teachings.
