The lone United Church of Christ has adopted a seven year old Mexican boy named Eusebio Villalpando. In grati tude for the financial success of the 1972 Auction and Barbecue sponsored by the U.C.C., the congregation designated that a portion of the proceeds be used as a special thank offering. The adoption of a child through the Christian Children's Fund was the project chosen to become the recipient of this offering. The youngsters of the 4th, 5th and 6th grade Church school classes were asked to name the country of a child to sponsor. They selected Mexico and the agency then chose the child. Eusebio's parents are living but they are in need of help. The money from the sponsorship is used to provide Eusebio with clothing, food and educational supplies. Eusebio writes, "Dear Spon sor: I am very glad to write to you. My name is Eusebio Villalpando. I am seven years old. My eyes are brown. I go to school. I live with my parents. They are farmers and poor, but we are happy with blessings from God. We live in a farm. Our hometown is small, some times we have good crop and sometimes it doesn't rain and we don't have anything. I help my parents at home. I will try to make use of it and now I will be able to write to you and when you come to Mexico I would like to know you. Loves you: Eusebio Villalpando. The letter was written in Spanish and accompanied by a translation by the Children's Agency.

K$ h This past weekend the high school youth of the lone United Church of Christ were hosts to the annual United Church of Christ Youth Caravan. This n P ? n ' i list Program is planned for the statewide council of youth representatives so that geo graphically isolated churches might maintain a contact with the churches and ideas of the rest of the state. This year the program was different in that the lone youth invited participation from all United Churches in Oregon. They were pleased when youth came from the Parkrose, Wil- sonville, Hubbard, Eugene and Corvallis Churches, as well as the Milton-freewater and The Dalles Churches. All together there were about twenty visit ors from these churches. The program included square dancing, resource ideas for youth programming, good food and lots of fellowship among the participants. Saturday after noon included some time to take the visitors on a tour of some of the ranches in our area so that the visitors might get the feel of life in a rural farming com munity of Eastern Oregon. A key part of the weekends activities was the planning and conducting of the Sunday morn ing worship service. The lone congregation appreciated the more contemporary style in music and worship ideas which were presented. Andrew Bal mer a member of the Wilson ville Church and Chairman of the Caravan Committee, pre sented the morning message in which he stressed the fact that even though several different churches separated geographi cally and by type of ministry, "we have a unity and common fellowship because of our com mon faith in Jesus Christ and commitment to His Church." Space doesn't allow a listing of all local people who partici pated to make this a real success, yet there are a few who played special parts and de serve mentioning. Mrs. George Griffith was the coordinator for the meals. David Warren and George Griffith were the ones who led the square dancing on Friday evening. The tour was planned and conducted by John Rietmann, who even added extra excitement by running out of gas in the truck while returning to town. Helen Byrnes made the beautiful decorations for the Saturday meal. The rest of the high school church school class were excellent hosts and hostesses and made the visiting participants feel right at home in lone. , Pastor Arthur is enthusiastic about the Caravan and said, "My thanks go to all from the church and community who gave of themselves to make this a real special weekend for all of us."
