The Read-a-thon which has been endorsed by the Canadian Library Association and the Inter- national Reading. Association offers the students the opportunity to improve their reading skills, become better acquainted with books and in the process help find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. During a recent school assembly the students were asked to read books for approximately one month. Simultaneously the students will be attempting to obtain pledges from their families for each book read during the period October 17 to November 21. At the end of the program each student collects the pledges and remits the proceeds and the book list to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Good luck to all those participating! To open the morning service, Harold Fletcher played his guitar as he sang "Jesus is Your Saviour" and Judi Henry read the scrip- tue. Rev. Ray Brewster in his sermon said the blood of Jesus Christ speaks to us of victory in our lives. The whole redemption plan of God centres around the blood of Jesus Christ. Our redemption is complete in Jesus offering of himself. His blood did not lose its power when it was shed. Jesus prayed not for His will but his Father's be done. Playing the piano, Larry McGill sang "Burdens are Lifted At Calvary" followed with "Lord, You've Done Too Much" to open the evening service. Rev. Ray and Mrs. Becky Brewster sang "Holy Spirit Flow Through Me." Rev. Brewster ministered from John 1:16 speaking about the fullness of Jesus. When we have Christ within us we have received all the fullness of the Godhead. We have fullness of joy, as the joy of the Lord is our Incidentally, last year at this time the students of St. Patrick School raised a total of $533.24. Hallowe'en at St. Pat's As October 31 neared, classrooms and halls took on the appearance of Hallowe'en. Masks were hung from walls. Ghosts and skeletons dangled from ceilings. Everyone sang Hallowe'en songs. Mrs. Chris McClure and the Grade 2-3 class learned a song about "Magdalena Hagdelena"and decorated a bulletin boardwith pictures of the ugly old witch. Student and some parent volunteers like Mrs. Cathy VanBussel baked pumpkin pies, pumpkin muffins and roasted pumpkin seeds. Friday was a special day for all those in the Primary Division. A magician visited the school to entertain the children. Friday evening, students who went trick-or-treating strength. When we have received Jesus we have the capacity to receive all the blessings God has for us. We get caught up in our problems, failing to realize who it is that lives within us, the God of might and power. As God is greater than any circumstance, we can live in victory over depression and discouragement. We need to recognize the power of the God who lives in us and release this power into our lives.
