Walton Public School news
Hamster goes missing
Malinda Johnston and Anne
Clark were greeters at Duff's
United Church on Nov. 23.
Rev. James Murray opened the
service with the Call to Worship
followed by the Junior choir
singing, Come into God's Presence.
After the scripture reading. the
senior choir sang a communion
hymn All who Hunger.
Rev. Murray announced that next
Sunday the Mitchell Bell Ringers
will be providing music for the
service. Everyone is welcome to
attend the service and join in the
lunch afterwards.
The Walton Hall Board will be
holding a beef supper on Nov. 29
as well.
White Gift service will take place
Dec. 6.
Rev. Murray's sermon was
called, "Signs of the Shepherd
King." Today marks the end of the
church year. "Over the past 52
weeks we have been witness to the
life, death and resurrection of Jesus
Christ," Rev. said. "We can be
proud that we are still here as a
church, even though our numbers
are small. It is an achievement and
in this sense we have kept the faith.
We have shared in God's salvation
here on earth."
There are many ways to describe
the meaning of salvation, he said.
Salvation is liberation, like the
Hebrew slaves who were led out of
Egypt. Salvation is coming home,
like the Israelites who came home
from exile in Babylon.
It is enlightenment, a new way of
looking at the world, like Moses at
the burning bush. It is forgiveness,
like the woman caught in adultery.
Playing euchre
There was a good turnout at the
Walton Hall for euchre games.
Congratulations to Marie Stewart
and Eileen Sellers who took the

It is being God's beloved
children., like the children Jesus
took upon his knee to bless. It is a
release from sin and guilt, like
Zacchaeus. It is resurrection, like
the prodigal son's journey from
death to new life, It is food and
drink which satisfy our hunger and
our spiritual thirst, like the feeding
of the 5000.
It is finding new possibilities and
opportunities in all, like the good
Samaritan.
"In short, God's gift of salvation,
is healing, wholeness and hope for
us all. Salvation fill us with the
gifts of the spirit, which Paul says
are freedom, love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, gentleness and
self-control," Rev. Murray said.
The Walton kindergarten class
enjoyed studying the letter H
because they got to eat hot heart-
shaped toast with strawberry jam.
Their colour was blue and they
fingerpainted blue water for the
yellow ducks that they made last
week. They are learning to
recognize the words red, yellow
and blue.
The Grade Is completed their
study of patterning by creating
paper quilt blocks and designing
their own Christmas wrapping
paper.
The class is now beginning to
study Life systems. They recorded
the life of a pumpkin plant in a
sequence booklet. Now they are
exploring mammals.
The Grade 2/3s have had a rather
upsetting week as their pet hamster
Nib is missing. They have searched
their room and George has kept his
eye open for the little ball of white
fluff. So here's hoping he'll show
up on Monday.
In art they reviewed lines and
colours. Some very pretty pictures
are posted outside the classroom if
anyone would like to see this type
of art.
News reporter for the Grade 3/4
was Shayne Cochrane. He reported
that they worked a lot on French
and made posters for the Brussels
Santa Claus Parade. Another
highlight for the week was chicken
and fries day. Shayne says it was
delicious.
Just a reminder that Thursday
evening and Friday are parent-
teacher interviews.
