He drew everyone’s attention to the announcements for the coming week. The call toworship “Come All You People” wassung followed by the prayer ofapproach. The children were askedto come to the front for their story time. Rev. Clark showed the children of the picture on the front of the bulletin. It was a mother and child lying in bed reading a book of Bible stories. He told the children that they should thank their mothers, grandmothers and maybe their aunts, everyone who had helped to mother them. He told them that in Africa itwas very dangerous for the womento have a baby. The United Churchhas sponsored midwives to help inthe birth of the babies and to take care of their health. Clark asked the children how they could say thank you to their moms. Some answers were to give them hugs, another was to give them a hug and a kiss. Rev. Clark also told them another way was to pray to God and By Marilyn Craig Call 523-9318 From Marilyn’s Desk A woman who had lived a sinful life (J.C. Ryle, “Coming Events and Present Duties”) “When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house; she brought an alabaster jar of perfume, and as she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.” Luke 7:37-38 We can never be too well acquainted with our own sinfulness and vileness. The spring of all humility, thankfulness, grateful love to Christ, and close walk with God--is real, thorough, Scriptural knowledge of the wickedness of our own hearts. The soul that loves much--is the soul that feels its sin-debt is great, and that much has been forgiven. “Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven--for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.” Luke 7:47 A Grace Gem Submitted by: Immanuel United Reformed Church, Listowel, ON 519-291-1956 What a beautiful weekend we have had. We could not have asked for a better Mother’s Day. The sun shining, the weather is perfect just like all moms. The weather forecast looks like a very good one for the holiday weekend coming up. There should be a lot of outside work getting done if not already finished. If you have weekend guests coming, let me know what was going on in your family. Happy birthday to Ian Caldwell who celebrates May 19 and Candice Abell-Rinn, May 22. Congratulations to The Citizen on moving to its new office at 413 Queen Street. Warmth leads to work Continued on page 19 By Phaedra Scott Finally! Gym class outside. Students have been training hard for the upcoming track and field day and high jump and running seem to be the events of choice thanks to the warm weather. In the Grade 7/8 class the new unit in science is water and systems and students are hopeful as they just had their science test finishing up the last unit on fluids. Their topic of conversation in both Grade 7 and 8 math is still adding and subtracting fractions and are seeming to understand it quite well. In the Grade 3/4 classroom, each student has picked a staff member of the school and a job from the medieval time for social studies. Students are writing about “If Ms Clark was a Queen” or whichever staff member and job they picked. They are then using the staff members faces and creating an outfit for them. Ms Clark is looking forward to seeing Mr. Gole, Gagne and Brown in their tights. Ms Dale has started a compost in science. She has also tied science and language together and the students are writing informational reports about topics such as soil and composting. Lots of writing is going on in Grade 3/4. Grade 4 math is motoring along in fractions. By the end of the next week, we’ll be able to tell you if we’d rather have 1/6 or 3/4 of sweet treats. We’ve loved how convenient food is for teaching fractions. By Courtney Bachert Everyone is glad the warm weather is finally here. Shorts, t- shirts, flipflops and sunglasses are appearing at last. Grade 2 students made Mother’s Day cards. In reading, they are working on reading for the main idea or for good information. In writing, they are writing animal reports and in math they are learning to solve and write “Part, Part, Whole” addition and subtraction word problems. In French, the 4/5 students are using some conventions of oral language to speak in rehearsed contexts. Right now they are learning the play “Le Chat Et Le Lune”. In Grade 6/7 and Grade 7/8 French, they are writing in different forms and using French vocabulary as they create postcards and brochures about countries they are researching. In health and physical education, Grade 1 students are learning and practising rolling and jumping. The Grade 2 students are learning and practising different types of jumping including off of benches and from standing positions. In the Grade 6/7 health class, they are learning about 83341 CURRIE LINE RR 3 BLYTH Owner: Gaye Datema 519-523-9407 Come and see us this season for all your gardening plants Cty.
