Walton Public School news Class makes fortune cookies It has been a busy week at the school. In Mrs. Vandendool's Grade 4 class the kids have been busy working on their speeches which-i•- they will deliver on Monday. With Mrs. Crocker they have been using their research.skills to study China. They have learned a mathematical game called Nun and they discovered that a lot of our math comes from the Chinese. The kids made a dragon (from paper mache) and on Wednesday they held a Chinese food luncheon, with Melissa Badley began the worship service at Duff s United Church Feb. 5 by lighting the Christ Candle. After the call to Worship and singing of the first hymn Rev. Randy Banks welcomed everyone and made the announce- ments. He reminded people about the Bible Study starting this Tuesday and said that there would be no 'lockout' in this series. Rev. Banks called the young worshippers up to the front. He told them about Isaiah and how the scriptures say that he saw the hem of God's gown. So he then sent the kids all about the church in search of God. When they call came up empty handed he told them t hat what Isaiah meant was that he sensed the presence of God, that we never see God but we know that he is with us always and that we can sense His presence. Marjory Fraser read the scripture lesson this day. Rev. Banks's Knox Church, Cranbrook annual meeting held Jan. 31 began with a pot luck supper which was enjoyed by 21 adults and three children. The business meeting followed. Rev. Steve Webb opened the meeting by reading I Cor. 13:1-13 followed by prayer. Minutes of the 1993 annual meeting were read and approved. Printed reports were examined and approved. There arc 85 members on the roll for 1995. The board of managers, ushers, trustees, auditors, manse committee and stipend committee positions were filled for 1995. Continued from page 14 brides: • Many older brides prefer small ceremonies with only family and close friends attending, but it's perfectly okay to choose any size ceremony you like. If you're like most older brides, you'll have only a maid or matron of honor, rather than .a whole procession of bridesmaids, but again this is up to you. In either case, don't overlook the possibility of asking young relatives to be flower girls or ring bearers. • What about the question of parent volunteers bringing in various Chinese dishes. The Grade 4 class made their own fortune cookies and the one Mrs. Crocker got said that she would be 'filthy rich.' In Ms Jewitt's kindergarten room the kids were pleased to have new doors put on their closet. They are special white doors that you can draw or paint on. One of the doors is for A class to write a message to B class and the other door is for the B class to wri' the As a note. sermon was called, 'The Net Result.' Jesus told Peter that he would become a fisher of men. Rev. Banks said that we as a church would like people who are fishing to be successful. But how successful do we really want to be? Should we hook one of the undesirables - the kind who don't fit in, don't wear the right clothes or don't think the same way we do, those unfamiliar with our church doctrines and practises? We prefer to do our schooling with look-alike, act-alike, think-alike fish. Rev. Banks told how Will Willimon was a guest speaker at a noon luncheon and one of the servers at his table sported a name tag - David: Integrity. Integrity is the name for an organization of gay Christians in the Episcopalian Church. This group held its regular meetings at the Episcopalian Church. Willimon questioned the rector about whether Rev. Webb was elected chairman for the meeting and Mrs. Stuart Stevenson as secretary. Mrs. Leslie Knight expressed a vote of thanks to Rev. Webb and his wife for their leadership, friendship and guidance during 1994 and also to Lynn Nichol the intern student for her participation in the Sunday services and for visits made. Leslie Knight moved for adjournment and Rev. Webb closed with prayer. Many thanks goes out to anyone who donated to the church during 1994, it is certainly appreciated. being "given away"? Di's ritual can easily be omitted if it makes you feel uncomfortable. But if you would like to be given away and your father is not alive or able to do so, feel free to ask any male relative or usher to perform the role. • Feel perfectly free to wear a long, lacy white wedding dress if this is what you've always imagined you'd do as a bride. If this isn't you, consider off-white, ivory, cream, or the palest pastels such as lavender or sea-green. ' A sleek style, such as a gently flaring or softly-gathered skirt with a simple bodice and matching Ricky Pethick reported that in his Grade 2 class they have been carving sculptures from soap. Nathan Dewit and David McClory said this week they have been learning how to write. The class had 30 little brown (construction paper) groundhogs all named Tim come and hide in their room. They were afraid to come out into the sunlight. They made pop-up groundhog cards and made up a story about them. On Friday they held their weekly 'celebrate Friday' party. there had been opposition to the group using the church facility for their meetings. "Of course," replied the rector. "In any event they weren't my idea. They weren't my group." • When asked to elaborate he related the story of an offended church member who came to him and asked angrily, "Why do you want these people to come to our church?" "I want to have them?" the rector responded. "Who said that I wanted them? I didn't invite them. Why would I want them and while we're on the subject, let the record show that I didn't invite you either. Why on earth would I have invited you? Let's get this straight once and for all: this is God's church; not mine, not yours. This is God's idea." Successful fishing for people will happen only if we are not the arbiters of who is 'catchable' and 'catchworthy'.

Your dress can be long or short, but for a small wedding, you might feel more comfortable in a length that's just-below-the-knee or mid- calf (very popular right now). If you like, you can top off your outfit with a hat, or maybe a hat with a short veil. A pillbox style or a hat with a delicate brim is especially smart. Where can you buy these styles? Try a bridal salon or your local store's bridal department first. Many bridal manufacturers are developing new lines of dresses that cater to the sophisticated tastes of your age group.

Both women enjoyed it and Mary said that she would definitely recommend it to others. There is no 'other word for it but 'Fantastic'. That is the word that I would use to describe the turnout at the UCW's luncheon and card day last Tuesday. The ladies fed 120 people and there were 11 tables of card players. The winners were Doreen Hackwell, Helen Dobson, Melinda Johnston, Bob McLaugh- lin and Isabel Craig. Many thanks to all those who came out and made the UCW's day.

Kathleen's meditation was called, 'Love is Kind' and she read a poem about teaching us how to live. Berva did a reading from the book, '365 More Meditations for Women'. Her reading was titled, 'Love Letters for Everyone.' Doreen Hackwell led a very interesting discussion about communication between men and women, or perhaps one could say it was about the lack of communica- tion between the sexes. Phyllis Mitchell, president of the UCW showed a five-minute video on hospital visitation in the United Church. The business part of the meeting then took place.
