Rev. Tom shared with the children.
He asked if you were at school and
found something what would you
do? The reply was – give it to the
teacher. Jesus says if you’re honestin small things, you’ll be honest alsoin big things that happen in your life.The scripture lesson was taken from2 Sam 12: 1-7 and Matthew 7: 1-12.God’s word was entitled, “OnceUpon a Time”. Rev. Tom shared thestory of Father Kolbe and A Wrinklein Time. Stories, particularly whennot forced, are often an invitation tolife’s most powerful learning; self
discovery. The stories of many
others often give us the eyes to see
the depths of human evil and good.
Stories help us turn the true into the
real.
Through the stories we tell and the
stories we live, each of us impactsdaily through the epistle that is youand me. If we tell well, and livewell – like Jesus, like Father Kolbe,we will rarely leave those who hearus, unaffected or unchanged.Joan and Neil Vincent took up theoffering followed by the offeringpraise and prayer. “Retell whatChrist’s Great Love” and the closinghymn, “Like a Child” were also sang
by the congregation. The Sending
Forth and Go Now in Peace

FROM BELGRAVE

The Community Club met on Feb.
3 with 18 members and five guests
attending. Grace was sung and a
potluck lunch enjoyed.
Donna Shaw welcomed everyone
and read “A Vegetable Valentine”.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read by Gladys Van Camp and Jim
Hunter gave the treasurer’s report.
The birthdays for February and
March were acknowledged. Kay
Roberts introduced Jim Armstrong
from Brussels who spoke about his
airplanes and flying.
As a youth Jim built model planes
then took flying lesson at the
Goderich airport. At that time the
cost of a pilot’s licence was $290.
After retiring as a high school
teacher in Mitchell,
Jim built planes and had on
display the plans he used. He
explained the different between
visual and instrument flying and
spoke of the materials
used for construction of modern
planes.
He answered several questions and
was thanked by Barbara Anderson
with a gift.
It was decided to hold the next
meeting and potluck lunch on
Friday, March 30 at noon.

carried the Christ Candle down to
Sunday School for their time of
fellowship.
The scripture was from Mark 1:
29-39. The next hymn was
“Precious Lord Take My Hand” that
was picked from the list of
congregational favourite hymns.
Rev. Clark’s message to the adults
was “Looking for Snow in All The
Wrong Places.”
In winters past Canada and
especially the snowbelt area has had
lots of snow to go skiing or
snowshoeing and to have all kinds
of winter sports, but not this year.
There is very little snow and when
we get some it disappears in a few
days. Our expectations of winter are
not being met this year. Many
businesses depend on the winter and
are disappointed. JFK did so much
in his first 100 days in office and
this has set expectations for the
following presidents to follow.
In the scripture reading Jesus set a
very fast pace going from place to
place telling His message. The
scripture tells us that Simon’s
mother-in-law was sick and Jesus
made her well. In those days you
were either poised with demons or
you had sinned. When we feel like
running away Jesus shows us the
human contact and not to run away.
Jesus is willing to go to the dark
places with us and show us the way.
He shows us the way to get rid of
our anger.
The choir sang the anthem. “ ’Tis
So Sweet to Trust in Jesus” an older
hymn. The offering was followed by
the offering hymn, offertory prayers,
the prayers for the world, the silent
prayers and the singing of The
Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn was
“All the Way My Saviour Leads
Me”, followed by the
commissioning and benediction.
The Sunday school returned
upstairs and had a challenge for the
choir to see who could fill the food
bank boxes the fullest. The
congregation could choose which
box they wanted to help with. If the
Sunday school wins, the choir has to
make the Sunday school cupcakes
and if the choir wins the Sunday
school will make them cupcakes.
Everyone was invited for coffee and
treats and fellowship.

live performances by local
musicians as well as a barbecue.
A book will also be produced to
mark the occasion with pictures
from each Grade 1 and Grade 8 class
that attended the school.
Dolmage said that, thus far, the
group has handled the book well but
they have noticed some gaps.
“We’re missing Grade 1 pictures
from the 1974-75 and 1975-76
school years,” she said.
The group needs attendees to
RSVP as soon as possible,
according to Dolmage, so they can
begin planning for meals and the
baseball game.
Dolmage also said that they need
to get the word out.
“If anyone has been missed we
need to know that and if people have
moved out of the area they need to
be told about the event,” she said.
Attendees can contact Dolmage at

to record and to represent individual
student data.
The students learned two
important things. First, not all boxes
contained the same number of
candies – the box is measured by
weight and not number – and
secondly each box varied in its
colour content.
Now students can use their
knowledge of numeration skills to
determine which colour was most
popular in the boxes. A rectangular
prism will surely help the
gingerbread boy to get across the
river without the help of the fox.
As students manipulate 2-D
pieces, they develop an increased
understanding in their ability to
identify and to discuss the attributes
of each shape. As they tie the study
of the five human senses to math,
students plan to make musical
shakers with cylinders and learn to
listen for the different kinds of
sounds that the cylinder shakers can
produce.
The Grade 6 students from the
Grade 6/7 class just finished their
unit on data management. During
the unit they surveyed teachers and
classes asking questions from how
old they are to what’s their favourite
animal.
The Grade 7/8 students also just
finished a math unit on measuring
the circumference of a circle and
finding the area of a circle as well.
Both classes are working on
speeches which will be presented to
their classes sometime this week.
Also both classes have began
thinking about a science fair project
which consists of researching topics
and beginning to find information
on their topic for this year’s annual
science fair
