The children gathered in the front
pew for children’s time. Mr. Hymershad bought a tool bag with tools andhis talk with the children was
entitled “What’s in Your Tool Bag?”
There were different tools and
objects that are used in our daily
lives. The Bible is the ultimate tool
to teach us how we should live our
lives and be faithful to God.
The children adjourned to Sunday
School after prayer. The children’s
hymn was “All Creatures of Our

of God, Descend Upon My Heart”.
God’s word was entitled “Please
Pass the Bread or Manna?” We need
daily bread in our lives. It is a staple
in our diet. We need grains, meat and
protein. Animals need to have propernutrition to grow. Jesus is also asource of our daily bread. We need a
daily dose to encounter everything in
our daily lives. Jesus said he is the
bread from heaven. Manna is the
bread from heaven and the bread of
life. We need only to look to Jesus
and he gives us the everlasting bread.
It is all that we need to sustain our
lives. At the Last Supper he used
bread to demonstrate as his body.
The next time you celebrate
communion, look at the bread that is
given to you. Take the time to savour
the gift of bread. Thanks to Jesus for
the true forgiveness of our sins. He is
the true gift of life.

The third and fourth meetings of
the Wawanosh 4-H food
preservation club were held at the
Auburn Hall at 5 p.m. on Friday,
Aug. 30. President Reba Jefferson
began the meeting with the 4-H
pledge, followed by roll call. The
members watched a video on how to
can peaches in syrup before heading
to the kitchen.
Half of the members started
sterilizing jars, blanching, peeling
and cutting peaches, and making a
light syrup. The club used the cold
pack method for canning the
peaches. Members learned the
importance of using a knife to get rid
of trapped air and how to ensure
adequate headspace at the top of the
jar. Meanwhile the other half judged
jars for canning and did their book
work. Once the members in the
kitchen finished filling a jar of
peaches each, they put them in the
canner and swapped places with the
second group.
When all jars were in the canner,
members took a supper break.
Members enjoyed pizza and veggies
while leader Eileen George
discussed the importance of each
step in canning the peaches from
sterilizing jars to using Fruit Fresh
and sugar to improve flavour,
stabilize colour and retain the shape
of the peaches. Then, leader Cathy
Drennan shared how she uses stewed
tomatoes to make her spaghetti
sauce.
After cleaning up supper,
members started the canning process
