Nestleton United Church With greeter Carol Hill at the door, the "Second in Lent" Sun- day attendance was poor, due to the wintry weather condi- tions. The service was conduct- ed by our minister Rev. David Shearman. He brought a mean- ingful message on the subject of "names" with Carol Hill the reader. Karen Yellowlees was the able organist. Atter the service closed, a cup of coffee and refreshments were enjoyed in the Sunday School Room, and a time of fellowship was pleasant. Let us hope the weather will change for the better soon, so that folks feel like going to church. Perhaps March will be ushered in with warm soft breezes to mark the defeat of winter. Quotes You know it is time to diet when you nod one chin and two others second the motion! If the doctor says you're sound as a dollar these days - you'd better start worrying!
