Choosing to learn, sermon topic
Mary Humphries and Helen
Williamson greeted those who
came out for Sunday morning
worship at Duff's United Church on
Nov. 3. Sarah McDonald lit the
Christ Candle followed by Rev.
James Murray leading people in the
Call to Worship. He then
announced that he had some good
news to share with the people and
told them that MacKenzie Lee was
born to Jeff and Shannon McGavin
on Oct. 30.
The choir sang, Here I Am Lord,
accompanied on the piano by
Glenda Carter. Rev. Murray called
the young worshippers to the front.
He asked them if they had ever
read any Curious George books. He
had read them as a child and
remembers how George had some
incredible adventures all over the
world. But George also got into a
lot of trouble. He would often do
things because he was curious, but
he also did things without thinking
how his actions affected the people
around him.
Rev. Murray said it is good to be
curious, but there are good and bad
questions. Some bad questions are
the ones that make people look
foolish. The good questions are
where people learn the answer
without making a monkey out of
Witches, beautiful fairies and
princesses, spooky looking
creatures and many other characters
paraded in the gym, on Halloween,
giving the visiting parents and
grandparents a great show. Later
each class returned to their rooms
to play games and eat goodies.
The Early Years class made a
witch's brew for their party. The
brew bubbled and boiled in the
cauldron (orange soda pop and ice
cream). They had lots of visitors
and enjoyed wonderful treats.
Thanks to Barb Durrell who helped
the class make pipe cleaner cats.
The class also welcomed Hilary
and Michael McKague to their
school.
The Grade is had fun learning
about math using pumpkins. They
GEESJE "GRACE" BOUMAN
Grace Bouman of Clinton died at
London's University Hospital on
Oct. 29, 1996. She was 70.
Born May 21, 1926 in Hoogeven,
Netherlands, she was the daughter
of the late Everet Benjamins and
Catherina Jonkman. She was the
beloved wife of Hendrik Bouman,
who precedeased her in 1988.
She will be lovingly remembered
by her children, Jane and Albert
Neutel of Woodstock, Ed and
Jenny Bouman of Wellandport,
Luke and Shirley Bouman of Blyth,
Cathy and Arnold Roest of Clinton
and Helen and Steven Miedema of
Townsend. She was the dear sister
of Jantje and Albert Styker of
Holan, Tinie and Ralph Stryker of
Clinton, John and Tinie Benjamins
of Seaforth, Simon and Lammie
Benjamins of Moorefield, Hennie
and John Stryker of Holland and
Evert and Geke Benjamins of Hol-
land.
Also left to mourn her passing
are her grandchildren Michael and
Linda Neutel, Steven and Tammy
Neutel, Tom and Gregory Neutel,
themselves or anyone else.
"God created us to be curious and
He wants us to grow and learn and
not be afraid to ask questions, even
questions about Him," he said.
Rev. Murray's sermon was
called, 'Choosing to Learn'. He told
a story of a congregation that
wanted to buy a VCR and how the
church went through the process of
deciding if they would do so. Of
course.there are all the different
committees to bring into the
discussion and there are always
those that will oppose. He went on
tol'say that there is always fear of
change, not only in the church but
in all life's areas. "We resist
change, afraid of the upheaval, fear
of the future. Change requires us to
learn a new set of skills. It can be a
scary thought when faced with
something that we know nothing
about. We must go through the
learning process one more time to
learn new skills."
There are four stages in learning,
he said. Unconscious incompetence
is where people don't know what
they don't know. Conscious
incompetence, is when they
appreciate how much they don't
know. Conscious competence, is
where it is starting to come together
and unconscious competence,
counted and measured seeds and
learned about different weights. A
favourite game they played was the
'Marshmallow Ghost Biting Game'.
Some favourite games that the
Grade 2/3 class played were
balloon stomping, mummy wrap
and werewolf tear. They especially
enjoyed breaking their spider
pinatas which were full of candies.
For Halloween fun the Grade
3 /4 s designed their own make-
believe tombstones and wrote their
epitaphs. One of them read that the
person died from working himself
to death. He would be remembered
for being a good worker. Some
were remembered for their soccer
and hockey skills, some were
remembered for what, they had
done so well.

becomes as natural as walking.
People don't even have to think to
do it.
The second stage is the hardest,
he said. It's like the saying, "A little
knowledge is a dangerous thing."
Jesus was trying to make
changes, trying to improve and
make better their ways of
understanding the scriptures. There
was a rivalry between the
Christians and the Pharisees,
similar to the rivalry of the Maple
Leafs and the Montreal Canadians,
Rev. Murray said. Both played in
the same league but were worlds
apart. Jesus said that the Pharisees
were outwardly holy and put on a
great show, but inwardly it was all
show. "Jesus called us to be
humble. The word humility comes
from the word Humus - which
means dirt, earthy. We must return
to true humility, our earthiness and
to know that to move forward is to
become like a little child."
People in the Walton community
reported that the number of trick or
treaters were-down this year.
