THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 2002. Bob Heywood leads service FROM LONDESBORO Looking ahead to the new school year By this time next week, the 2002- 2003 school year will be in session. It has always amazed me that when the bell rings for the first time each September, it is immediately autumn. Gone are those hot, hazy summer days and the calendar fills up with meetings, gatherings, etc. Everywhere I look even now, the goldenrod is yellow. Obviously, I am a summer lover. In the final school newsletter in June, principal Lois Tebbutt thanked the community for the support she and her staff and pupils receive on a daily basis. This support helps tremendously with the education of our children. With that thought in mind here is information about Hullett's School Council. The school council is a group of parents, community members and staff which meets monthly to help provide the best possible atmosphere for learning. At the meetings, school activities, parental concerns and board of education information is discussed. All parents and interested community folk are welcome to attend. The school closure issue will continue to be a part of the agenda again this fall. Since there is still a funding crunch for schools in Ontario, the school council has fundraisers throughout the year to provide some of the extras. Your attendance is appreciated at the fall craft show and spring ham supper. These events provide daily planners for the children. New easels and mitten dryers have been put to good use by the primary classrOoms. The donations of grocery receipts, Campbell Soup labels, and Zellers points will be ongoing again this new school year. Contact the school office for more information about how to help in this regard. These donations help purchase reading materials. This group finds interesting ways to heighten school spirit in the boys and girls. Also, they hold a staff appreciation luncheon and a volunteer thank you dinner. It takes very little effort on our part to support the council and ensure the future of our youth. Bruce Roy and Genevieve Allen greeted churchgoers at Londesboro United Church on Aug. 25. Bob Heywood was pulpit supply on yet another beautiful Sunday morning.

Mr. Heywood noted that envy and greed which lead to discontent in life plague many persons. The story of vineyard workers from Matthew 20 was read as an illustration. Envy is a grumbling against God that can thwart God's purpose for one's life. A Christian's only hope to find contentment is in Christ. The disciple Paul wrote of his contentment in a letter to the church in Philippi in Philippines, chapter 4.• Mr. Heywood urged everyone to find patience and contentment in his/her situation.
