Ian Wilbee greeted worshippers at Duff's United Church on April 5. The front of the church displayed Easter lilies that later went to shut- ins of the church and daffodils were placed there by the Blyth Legion Ladies. From the back of the church, Rev. James Murray gave the Call to Worship. Then the Sunday school waving palm fronds, came down the aisle with Geoff Banks leading the donkey that Jesus (Mark Wilbee) was riding, and with the adult choir behind them, sang Hosanna, Hallelujah! Rev. Murray announced that Easter Sunday service begins at 11:30 a.m. Communion was served by Brian and Shannon McGavin, Don and Monique Baan. The sermon was called "Just what was God thinking?" Palm Sunday, said Rev. Murray always leaves him with more questions than answers. It is a day full of paradox and contradictions. He often looks at it all and says, 'Just what was Jesus thinking? What was God thinking? Given how we assume God is all powerful, just why was all of this necessary?" He remembered being in Sunday School and children asking their teacher why Jesus had to die. If God is love why would he demand that his son be the first and only human sacrifice in the whole Bible? Since day one Christians have The speed skating Hunts of Ethel wound down another season with strong showings in weekend events. Carla, 15, attended the Canadian championships in Quebec, placing 15th of 24 in very tough competi- tion. With good solid skates in the 777-metre and 1,000-metre, Carla finished her first year as a junior on a strong standing. She earned personal best times in both races, 1.20.67 in the 77-metre and 1.46.31, down from 1.48.72 in the 1,000-metre. Mom Kathy and her other three children travelled to Oakville for an all-points meet. Cayli, seven, was the show stop- per, said Kathy, even though she placed sixth out of nine. In one event, she fell just before the finish line and crawled as fast as she could to finish. By Sarah McLellan The pledge and roll call began the second meeting of the Ethel 4- H club's "On Your Own — You Can Do It!" project, on March 30. One of the first items on the agenda was the deciding of a club name. After nominations and a vote, Debbie Terpstra's "Learning New Beginnings" came out on top. Title pages will be decided on next meeting. Next was a presentation on street proofing and emergency phone numbers by youth leader Sara struggled with how to make sense of the Cross, Rev. Murray said. "We are still struggling to fully understand what God's will was in all of this." On Palm Sunday Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Instead of a mighty arm He leads a group of sinners, tax collectors, fishermen and women. This was truly part of God's plan, said Rev. Murray. It was to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belonged. This group of people had the God-given power to challenge the religious and political powers of domination. "It is a God-given power we still experience and share here today. The cross was the consequence of this challenge. It was a human response to God's challenge. "If God is all powerful then why did Jesus have to die?" Rev. Murray asked. "The truth is, God couldn't save Jesus. God works through humans and our actions. God is not above the laws of nature. God is the source and prime example of those laws. So when Jesus was on the cross, God shared in his suffering. So when we suffer, the suffering is real, but God does share in it as well. "No matter what cross you bear, what road blocks frustrate you, what problems or difficulties you face, God will work for good in your life, by the power and the promise of the resurrection which is yet to come, and will be." "The crowd was behind her after that." Because of the all-points system, which matches times, she skated against 10 to 12-year-olds in her races. She has shaved tremendous times off her personal bests throughout the season, said Kathy. Cayli finished with a time of 1.14.45 in the 500-metre, down from 1.27.17 in the first meet of the year. Her other times were: 333- metre, 49.45 from 5.24 and 22- metre, 33.61 from 38.38. Brett, 10, broke his personal best time in the 500-metre, cutting 23/100th of a second off his time. A late starter this season, Bryce achieved personal bests in all his skates and is prepared for a full slate of meets next year. Kathy skated well in the meet but finished out of the top placers. Speiran. Among the activities were a street proofing quiz and a fill-in sheet of emergency information that everyone should know in case something happens. After, we were divided into groups of twos and threes, and were given a topic regarding being home alone, which we were to dramatize. Some of the topics included latchkey kids, obscene phone calls, and answering the door. When the skits were completed, Continued on page 26 Grade 112s keep eye on meal worms The letter X marked the spot in the Walton kindergarten room this past week. The students opened up a medical centre and used the doctor kit to take x-rays. The class welcomed back Mrs. Dolmage and also said goodbye to students, Kendra and Missy Smith. Some very special Easter Eggs were made by mixing sweetened condensed milk with food colouring. The class also noted that the March saying 'in like a lamb and out like a lion' didn't work this year. The Grade 1/2s came back from spring break to find that Goofy, the meal worm had changed into an adult beetle. The seeds that they had planted were all transplanted and taken home: Some of the experiments with plants included putting vaseline on leaves and covering up other ones with tin foil. The children learned that without air and without light the leaves died. The Grade 3s are now learning about multiplication. They are also finishing up their farm safety projects and are making books for the library. For gym Grade 3/4 is doing what is called Activ-8, a physical fitness program. There are five stations set up which challenge participants to do more repetitions than the previous time they were at the station. Jennifer Eedy from Grade 2/3 took home the two black bunnies for the weekend. The class made terrariums out of pop bottles and planted seeds and began to chart the happenings. They have also started making Easter/Spring books. Thursday, April 9, at 2:30 - 3:20 the Hop-a-thon begins. This is a program to raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada. All students will be given a certificate of participation and other things for joining in the two minutes of jumping. Everyone is welcome to come and join in the fun for a worthy cause. unite' $14.)
