PAGE 12. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2008.
The Belgrave WI’s Feb. 26
meeting began with a potluck
meal. Twelve members and 24
guests attended. The theme was
Love.
The president, Nancy Jardin read
Love is Patient and Kind and
Hugging, then conducted a
quiz.
She mentioned that the Belgrave
Branch of WI was begun 97 years
ago.
The program convenor, Audrey
Fenton, introduced the speaker,
Elly Brewster, from the Huron
County Health Unit. She spoke on
healthy hearts.
She stressed the importance of
exercise, proper diet and not
smoking to help avoid heart attack
and stroke.
It is important to keep an up-to-
date list of all medications taken,
both by prescription and over the
counter. The pharmacist is a very
good source of information for
both.
She distributed a lot of
information in booklets and was
thanked for her presentation with a
gift.
The lucky chair prize was given
to Ruth King.
The business meeting began with
the minutes of the previous meeting
and treasurer’s report, given by
Dorothy Coultes.
An invitation was received from
Community Living in Wingham to
participate in a Club Fair to be held
on Saturday, March 29 in
Wingham.
The members agreed to rent a
table to promote WI, with several
offering to take a turn during the
afternoon and to contribute articles
for the display.
The roll call was answered by
giving the number of volunteer
hours.
Plans were discussed for two
caterings to be held in July. There
will be a meeting on April 7 at the
OMAF office in Clinton to make

Shhh!
On a day away from the classroom some East Wawanosh Public School students spent the
day outside on a real cold one Feb. 27 at the Wawanosh Nature Centre. Classes were split
in half, one half strapped on the snowshoes and went for a hike and the other played one big
game of tag. Jillian Montgomery discovered these three students hiding under a tree. From
left: Tyler Hallahan, Trevor Raynard and Nicholas Frischknecht. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
Roger and Debbie Hopper and
girls greeted worshippers at Knox
United Church, Belgrave.
Melissa Snyders welcomed the
congregation. This was followed by
the singing of hymns, This is the
Day and Small Things Count.
Andrea Shiell lit the Christ
Candle assisted by Mrs. Snyders.
The call to worship was read
responsively and the gathering
prayer was said in unison. The
senior choir sang Soil of God,. You
and I.
After the singing of the children’s
hymn, Fairest Lord Jesus, the
children went to the front pew. Mrs.
Snyders read a book entitled Hurray
for You. It pertained to God creating
everyone unique and people should
celebrate all that God has given
them.
The children adjourned to Sunday
school after The Lord’s Prayer.
The scripture readings were
Ephesians 2: 1-10, and Psalm 139,
1-6, 13-18.
Other hymns that were sung were
This Day God Gives Me and
Breathe on Me, Breath of God.
The title of Mrs. Snyders’
message was Mirror, Mirror. A
mirror is used to see one’s self.
People need to love themselves first,
then love others around them. When
they look in the mirror they see that
they are created the way God
wanted them to be. God knows their
value and God thinks they are
priceless.
They never lose value, in God’s
eyes.
Michelle Burr and Doug Walker
took up the offering.
The closing hymn was Give to Us
Laughter.
Knox junior choir has started
practising at 9:45 a.m. Sunday
morning. Contact Lila at 519-887-
