Many guesses were said. Rev. Clark told them that he had weighed the food and that the congregation had met the target of 200 pounds. The total was 242 pounds. The children were asked to bring the food from the box in the narthex. It added up to be 24 pounds so the church had gathered 266 pounds of food for the North Huron Food Bank. He asked the children to look in the manger and see what the new word was. It is “kindness”. Rev. Clark told them they are being kind when they give to the Food Bank. The offering was received followed by the Prayer of Dedication for the offering and the food with the children placing their hands on the offering and the food. The children went downstairs for their time of fellowship. Logan Chalmers carried the Christ Candle downstairs. The next hymn was “Hark the Glad Sound”. Rev. Clark’s message to the adults was “12 Shopping Bills ’til Jesus’ birth”. The last two Sundays he talked about transformation of weapons and food for everyone and that enemies would learn to love one another and live in peace. Today the scripture tells us that the blind will see, the deaf will hear and the lame will walk. The scripture tells that if the Israelites did not change their ways that they would be swept off the earth. In Israel the land began to dry up and the Israelites became slaves again of Syria. The Israel that they had known was completely gone and they became slaves with no purpose. They were hoping that someone or something would come to them and bring them home. People are like the Israelites in that they have choices to make. The choir favoured the congregation with the anthem, “Mary Did You Know”. If we could only figure out what we want from Jesus. The nativity scene gives the answers. All people want is a place to lay their heads and be safe. The wise men arrived to see Jesus after a few days with their gifts but the poor shepherds arrived that very night with nothing but adoration for the Baby Jesus. It was with kindness that Jesus healed the blind, the deaf and the lame. The next hymn was “How Sweet The Name” was followed by the Prayers for the World, silent prayers and the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn, “Come Thou Long Expected Jesus” was followed by the commissioning, benediction and the choral response, “Lord We Pray.” By Mikenna Lane As many members of Huron County are aware, the students of St. Anne’s Catholic Secondary School had the delightful pleasure of having three snow days in a row this past week. Because of this, it is safe to say the students and staff members had a fairly quiet week. The school’s Advent Project ended on Dec. 6 and students were able to help over 20 families in Huron County with a specialized basket designed just for them. All students were encouraged to participate in the Social Justices campaign of “Write for Rights”. In collaboration with Amnesty International, Write for Rights allows students to bring awareness of injustices to organizations and urges governments to take action to stop all injustices to all citizens and to increase people’s rights. Students will be collecting non- perishable food items this week to make another big donation to our area food banks. Because of the many snow days, many events, clubs and sporting practices were cancelled. The “Concert Band Tour”, the “Specialist High Skills Major Artisans Tour”, team practices and team games will all be rescheduled. One of the few teams that did get to play this week was the boys’ hockey team who played Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton on Thursday. St. Anne’s always has fun playing and the two teams eventually tied. St. Anne’s is very proud of all of its athletes and would like to wish them good luck for the remainder of the season. The week may have started quietly but it ended with a huge explosion of excitement as the school held its annual Semi-Formal. The theme of “Funhouse Masquerade” was a huge hit and students were treated to an experience similar to “Alice in Wonderland” filled with games, treats and awesome music. Everyone had a great time. By Carlene Bremner, Isaac Nicholson and Eric Steele Recently, the students of Blyth Public School have missed several days of school due to the snow days, so we decided to ask the students some questions. The first question was “What did you do on your snow days?” We asked a student from each class and their answers were: Mikayla in Kindergarten built a snowman with her family, Brinna in Grade 1/2 went skating with Heidi, Griffie in Grade 2/3 cooked cookies with her grandma and went tobogganing, Mandi in Grade 3/4 made a huge snowfort and shovelled her driveway, Logan in Grade 5/6 played in the snow then came in to watch movies while she was drinking hot chocolate, Phaedra in Grade 6/7 hung out with friends and watched movies, Amy in Grade 7/8 hung out with friends and watched movies as well. The next question we asked was “How much snow do you think we had over the snow days?” The answers were: Jillian in Kindergarten, said that there was three times as much snow as the size of her; Reid from the Grade 2/3 class, thought it was almost the size of him; Joel in Grade 1/2 said the snow must have been 100 centimetres deep. The last question asked was, “What did you miss most about school on the snow days?” Makayla in Senior Kindergarten said that she missed the Christmas concert the most. Samantha in Grade 5, Evy in Grade 3 and Brooke Grade 6, all said that they missed their friends the most. Kathryn in Grade 7 said that she missed Pizza Day. Colin in Grade 4 said that he missed gym and math and Kal in Grade 1 said he missed everything. Quiet week at St. Anne’s due to closures, tours rescheduled Health Unit warning Church collects 242 pounds for NH Food Bank With the high snowfall last week, Huron County Health Unit is warning the public of the hidden dangers of snow accumulation. Snow can potentially block furnace vents and car exhaust pipes and result in an accumulation of carbon monoxide inside a home or car. Carbon monoxide is an odourless, colourless gas which is extremely toxic to people. Initial carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms are similar to flu symptom such as headache, nausea and fatigue. With increased exposure symptoms can become more severe such as drowsiness, confusion, brain damage and death. It is important to keep all vents and exhaust areas clear of snow. Furnace vents should have a one- metre clear area. Cars should not be started until exhaust pipes have been cleared of snow.
