Finally, after all those snow days,
students were able to celebrate 100
days on Friday, Feb. 22. Here are
some of the things the Grade 1 class
did that day: they wrote about what
they would buy if they would have
had $100, they went on a word hunt
for 100 words, they also made “100
fruit loops” necklaces by counting
by 10s, they tossed beanbags
and counted by 5s to 100, they
rolled dice and had a race to 100
and they also decorated cookies.
They had a fun-filled 100 day in
Grade 1.

This week students in the Grade
7/8 class participated in a workshop
called “Flipping the Iceberg” that
was facilitated by Gregory C. N.
Smith and paid for by The
Foundation for Education Perth
Huron. Through this workshop
students explored their strengths and
skills and talked about how to be the
best they could be. Everyone had a
great deal of fun.
This class has also started its first
history unit and is learning about the
first people who explored our
country and the founding of New
France.
Elmira Chicken orders are in so
everyone who supported this Grade
8 Camp Celtic Trip fundraiser will
be receiving their chicken
immediately. That’s all for this week
folks, hope to see you soon.
Greeting worshippers at BlythUnited Church on the third Sundayof Lent, March 3 was Tom Cronin.
Ushering were Elaine Chamney,
Lissa Kolkman and Tom Cronin.
Floyd Herman was music director
and Fred Hakkers ran the power
point. Quinton Hakkers lit the
candles on the altar. Rev. Richard
Hall of Wingham United Church
welcomed everyone to church on a
cold, but beautiful Sunday in the
absence of Rev. Gary Clark who was
the guest minister at Wingham
United Church. Rev. Hall reminded
everyone of the Soup and Bun meal
followed by a movie on Thursday,
March 7 starting at 6 p.m. Also the
Women’s Day Out Toonie
committee is asking for homemade
items for the Toonie Sale at WDO onSaturday, April 13. The call toworship was the singing of two
hymns, “I Have Called You by Your
Name” and “Dance with the Spirit”.
The prayer of confession and the
assurance of pardon was followed by
the singing of The Lord’s Prayer.
The scripture reading was from
Mark 5: 21-43.
The children were asked to come
to the front for their storytime. Rev.
Hall explained the story in the
scripture of the woman who touched
the clothing of Jesus and was healed
of her sickness.
Rev. Hall had a prayer shawl that
he explained to the children was
something like the shawl that Jesus
wore. The fringe had five knots in it
and this is what the women wouldhave touched. Reid Button put theshawl on and walked down the aisle
to show the congregation. The
children went downstairs for their
fellowship.
Lloyd Herman told the
background of the anthem the
choir were about to sing, “He
Touched Me”. Rev. Hall’s message
to the congregation was
“The Healing Touch of His
Garment”.
Rev. Hall told the story of the
woman who touched Jesus’s
garment and was healed and the
story of the child who became well
again. These people had faith in
Jesus to heal them and maybe if we
have faith in God, we will find the
healing powers of God.Rev. Hall told the congregation thestory of the five knots in the fringe
of the prayer shawl. They represent
the first five books of the New
Testament. The four spaces
represented the four letters in
Hebrew of the word God.
When we are sick, if we talk to
God and have faith in Him we too
will heal. There are three things to
remember: 1) Give God a chance 2)
Pray to God for healing 3) be honest
and sincere in what we are asking
God to help us with. We honour
God’s name, believe that God willhear us and trust that God will healus (maybe not the way we would
expect).
The next hymn, “O For a
Thousand Tongues to Sing” was
followed by the offering, the
offertory response, the offertory
prayer and the prayers for the
people. The last hymn “Pass Me
Not, O Gentle Saviour” was
followed by the commissioning and
benediction and the singing of the
response, “Go Now In Peace”.
Everyone was invited for coffee
and treats and to talk to Rev. Hall
after the service.
Happy birthday to Barry
MacDonald who celebrates March
8; Grace McNichol, March 9; Nellie
Mason, March 10; Diane Howson,
March 13.

Character
(J.R. Miller)
Reputation is what a man’s neighbours and friends think of him. Character is
what the man IS.
Character is personal. It is not a possession we can share with someone else. We
can give a hungry person part of our loaf of bread; we can divide our money with
one who needs it; but character is something we cannot give away or transmit. The
brave soldier cannot share his courage with the trembling recruit who fights by his
side in the battle. The pure, gentle woman cannot give part of her purity and
gentleness, to the defiled and hardened woman she meets.
Character is our own--a part of our very being. It grows in us over the years. Acts
repeated become habits, and character is made up in the long run, of those habits
which have been repeated so often, that they become a permanent part of our lives.
Sow a thought--and you will reap an act; sow an act--and you will reap a habit;
sow a habit--and you will reap a character; sow character--and you will reap a
destiny!
As the tree falls--so must it lie; As the man lives--so must he die! As a man dies-
-such must he be; All through the ages of eternity!
