The children went downstairs to Sunday School and a time of fellowship. Connor Brooks carried the Christ Candle. The next hymn was “In Christ there is No East or West”. The scripture reading was from Matthew 22: 15-22 followed by the response, “Your Word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path.” Rev. Clark’s message to the adults was “Relying on the Wisdom of Jesus.” We live in a very complex world. The Wall Street protests are protesting things that are too complex for everyone to understand. When we remember the teachings of Jesus and the stories He told were not just stories for Jesus’ time but there are lessons there for us too. Jesus was asked by the Pharisees if it was unlawful to pay taxes. Jesus knew that they were trying to trick Him. He asked them who was on the coin and they told Him Caesar. His answer to them was to give Caesar what was his and to give God what was His. Jesus tells us that in a world of Yes and No answers there is a third way – to have faith in Him. Jesus tells us to be teachers and to teach others the way of faith. To be sincere, to be who you are, to be honest – little white lies gets us in trouble. Jesus tells us that we should love others as our brothers and sisters and our lives will become more pleasant. The choir anthem was “Trusting Jesus.” The offering was received followed by the response, “Grant Us God”, the prayer of dedication, the prayers of thanks and concern and the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn, “Faith of Our Fathers” was followed by the commissioning and benediction and the singing of “Go Now In Peace”. Everyone was invited for coffee and birthday cake with the Sunday School to celebrate the birthdays in October. Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s Continued from page 1 $38,000 was, according to councillors, to be set aside for work on the roof and added to as necessary. Both were in serious need of repair according to Newson, who said that the community centre’s roof had noticeable leaks in it. “When it rains, it gets wet in the community centre,” she said, adding that the leak had been experienced by other township staff. If the grant isn’t approved, however, the project could be put off until more funds can be made available. The grant, which the committee recommended council approve, will be made in the sum of $50,000 to help cover the approximate $115,000 cost of the project. There is $28,845 in reserves for the project and the remaining $36,155 needed, if the grant is approved for the full $50,000, will be considered for the 2012 budget. Originally council recommended that the amount necessary be guaranteed in the budget, however Councillor James Campbell stated he wasn’t comfortable with locking council into a decision for a budget yet to be discussed. “I have a problem saying this, for sure, will be in the budget,” he said. “We need to deal with it when we get to the budget planning stage.” Campbell believes Blyth roof funds shouldn’t be promised Continued from page 11 colony and the different roles they fulfill as part of a colony. Their reading goals this week have been reading non-fiction texts to learn new information and to make connections to the things they already know. Mrs. Zembashi is teaching the Grade 6/7 health class and they are learning about the different factors that can affect their body weight. French classes will be learning some exciting songs, videos and activities en francais for Halloween. By Hunter Dale Grade 3/4 students began learning about light and sound in science, urban and rural communities in social studies and soccer skills in physical education. The Grade 3/4 students are also having a great time learning about primary, secondary and complimentary colours in visual arts. They are also having fun learning about whole and half notes in music. In Language, they began a read- aloud about Ryan and Jimmy and the Well in Africa that brought them together by Herb Shoveller. They talked about how small gestures of kindness can make a big difference to others. Student discussed how they could continue to support “Kids Giving Water” by collecting aluminum cans and bringing in small change. They all agreed that it would be wonderful to fundraise the remaining money needed to build a well in Kenya this year. They also read the story “My Secret Bully” by Trudy Ludwig and determined that the big idea in the story is “respect” (which was the school’s virtue for September). Afterwards, students wrote in their journals about how they demonstrate respect. In the Grade 4/5 class, students’ votes very closely mirrored the Huron-Bruce election results. In math, the Grade 4/5s are working on data management and finding mean, median and mode. Also, in language, they are learning about summarizing. Junk-o-Lantern Day will be Thursday, Oct. 20. They will be on display the week leading up to Halloween. Here is a fun activity to support classroom learning at home: “The Bottle Piano” - • Using a pitcher or funnel, pour different amounts of water into glass jars or bottles. • Add food colouring to make it look good. • Tap each bottle with a spoon. If you want a higher note, pour some of the water out. If you want a lower note, add more water. • The more bottles/jars you have, the more notes you can produce. • Mark the water levels of notes you like with tape. • The bottles vibrate to create a sound. Vibrations are what all sounds, including music, are made up of. The less water in the jar, the faster the jar vibrates and the higher the pitch. Junk-o-Lantern day on Oct. 20
