World Day of Prayer 2008 is
tomorrow and there are several
places throughout the area where
you can gather and pray for the
people of Guyana.
Christians in over 170 countries
and 2,000 communities across
Canada alone will be gathering to
pray and act in solidarity with the
people of Guyana on Friday.
Locally there will be services in
Brussels, Blyth, Londesborough and
Belgrave scheduled throughout the
day.
The service in Brussels will take
place at Brussels United Church at
7:30 p.m., the service in Blyth will
be at the Church of God at 7:30 p.m.,
the service in Londesborough will
be at Londesborough United at 1:30
p.m. and Knox United will host a 2
p.m. service in Belgrave.
Growing concerns in Guyana
include poverty and the spread of
HIV/AIDS. In addition to the spread
of HIV/AIDS, there has been a
strong correlation between the
disease and violence against women.
While government and churches are
working to improve living situations,
domestic violence still sits at an
alarming level and trafficking in
persons has also been said to be
connected.
The World Day of Prayer is rooted
in an ecumenical day of prayer first
organized by women across Canada
and the United States in 1920. The
first World Day of Prayer was
officially held in 1922.
The Grade 12 construction class
at St. Anne’s school in Clinton
recently completed a large course
project with the help of the local
business community.
The class, taught by Mr. Overholt,
built a storage shed for Sacred Heart
Elementary School in Wingham.
The project called on the skills of
the entire class as they designed the
structure and took weeks to frame,
roof and apply siding to the
building.
Having built the shed, the class
was still required to engage their
problem solving techniques to
follow through with the delivery of
the project. The local business
community graciously donated their
time and effort to allow the group to
complete the project. Canada Crane,
located in Wingham, donated the
use of the crane and an operator to
load and unload the crane on its
final resting spot on the Sacred
Heart campus.
Van Driel Excavating Inc. based
out of Clinton, was instrumental in
the success of the shed project, as
Simon Van Driel and his crew Brian
Wammes and Derrick Van Driel for
arranging and donating
transportation costs from Clinton to
Wingham.
The new shed is now operational
and being used for storage. The
project allowed the class of St.
Anne’s students to gain valuable
hands on experience and see first
hand how the community can co-
operate to ensure the success of a
difficult task.
