Looks like an early win- ter, folks! Simple Things Lord, I thank Thee for simple things, For a yellow tea kettle that sings, A red rose in a cream-colored vase, Plain, airy curtains not made of lace. For a firm bed with sheets so clean, Dried on a line in October wind. For smiles of neighbors who ask, How are you today? As they come and go on their busy way. For good books on a table, And a couch on which to sit. For pen and paper to challenge my wit, A phone on which to talk. Alight in the closet, And in front of my home, a paved sidewalk. Lord, I thank Thee again, for simple things. by Catherine McIntyre (A quaint little poem that took my fancy.) (We need to take pleasure - out of the simple things of life - itig the great part of the art of living!) Nestleton United Church by Gwen Malcolm The Nestleton Church celebrated 158 years of the former Salem church and 93 years of the present sanctu- ary on Sunday, Oct. 31. There = "ARE-READYZ sn a a United was a good attendance, includ- ing visitors from Blackstock Church. Potted yellow mums brightened the front of the church for the occasion. Greet- ing at the door were Ralph and Dorothy Sadler. Rev. D. Shear- man conducted the Service and the Children's Theme. Rev. John Brown, a United Church minister and Director of the Bowmanville branch of the John Howard Society was the special speaker. His sermon on "God's Social Contract: The Parable of the Generous Em- ployer" was based on Matthew 20:1-15. The choir anthem "Love Grows Here" was much appreciated, with Carol Mairs accompanying on the piano. 'The capable organist for the service was Karen Yellowlees. Following the worship service, there was a social hour in the lower hall, where refreshments were served by the UCW. Next Sunday, Nov. 7, is Blackstock Anniversary at 10 a.m. with Rev. John Shearman as the speaker. Nestleton Ser- vice will be withdrawn so all may join in celebration. . Nestleton Presbyterian Church : by Winnifred Davison Rev. Wm. Fairley conducted the regular service in Nestleton Presbyterian Church at 11 a.m. The organist was Joyce Taylor. Responsive Psalm was 107, and scripture readings were from The ushers were Oliver Rohrer and John Macrae. The thought for the Sunday School children was: "Do dogs (or pets) go to heaven?" God created all creatures in love, and pets (adults, too) return to God, their creator. | In the sermon, Rev. Fairley spoke on the understanding and meaning of the scriptures - of the Lord's Prayer, the Twen- ty-third Psalm, and of the spiri- tual truth of the recording of the passing over Jordan - as we read in Joshua 3. by Albert Putsey Last year at this time, Hallo- ween night, the Blue Jays were playing the World Series and the Hall Board's Halloween Dance was a great flop. This year, I'm glad to report all but seven tickets were sold and it was a great delight to see the many costumes and get-ups the adults wore. I am sure the Row- an Beach Assoc., who was a co- sponsor of the dance, is well on its way financially to obtaining the diving platform. Had a call from Dave Dietlein Monday, Oct. 25 and I am glad to report his treatment is work- ing out quite favorably. We are all wishing you the best; Dave. Note - Wish to have all Cae- sarea organizations make up their 1994 roster of coming events and give it to me so we can get it published in the 1994 Scugog Booklet of Coming Joshua 3, and St. Matthew 23.
