Forget-me-not children’s topic
One day when God was strolling
in the Garden of Eden naming the
birds, animals and plants. He noticed
a tiny blue flower. He gave it the
name miasoltos.
The next day when He came back,
the little Hower had forgotten its
name. So God gave it the new, more
easily-remembered name, forget-
me-not. However, He told the Hower

Perseverance,
virtue at HCPS
This last week of January, Hullett
Central Public School is
concentrating on the virtue of
perseverance. Perseverance means
being purposeful and steadfast. Tom
Thomson stated, “Take everything
as it comes; the wave passes, deal
with the next one.”
The schools in our area have had
three storm days to date in January,
giving the homebound pupils an
opportunity to work on their
speeches. Yes, it is that time of year
again. Drop by the school the
morning of Feb. 7 and enjoy the
stories chosen from each classroom.
Everyone at Hullett School sends
a heartfelt thank you for the support
given towards their recent campaign
for a new piano. Proceeds from the
sale of the coupon books and
donations from many area service
groups and businesses have been
used to purchase a new Niemeyer
piano this month. The school is
thrilled to see their dream of a new
piano realized so quickly. The
instrument was purchased from
Pianovations, right here in
Londesboro (formerly Krauters’
Trading Post). This new piano
replaces the school’s original piano
from 1966-1967, a Sherlock
Manning.
Thanks also to the purchasers of
chocolate during that campaign as
the profits have purchased a new
drum set scheduled to arrive any day
now.
The parents and community will
be anticipating beautiful melodies
from the choirs and band as a result
of these recent purchases.
In the event that you missed
buying a coupon book or chocolate,
don’t despair. The school has been
asked to help the CNIB with their
annual crocus campaign during the
first week of February. One can buy
a four-inch pot of crocus bulbs for
$4. Each pot will have four bulbs
ensuring a minimum of 12 blooms,
just in time for Valentine’s.
The school receives $1 for each
pot sold. All funds raised by
CNIB in this campaign stay in
community to provide help to
visually impaired. Order from
pupils in the community or call
school.
A little touch of colour in
homes after these weeks of snow
and blow will remind us that spring
can’t be far away.
FYI - The crocus, native to
southern Europe, were introduced to
England by a horticulturist and
brought to North America by the
colonists. One of the first spring
flowers, your indoor bulbs of this
year can be planted outside come
fall and the blooms enjoyed every
spring.
The CNIB sells only a purple
variety as it is the hardiest. Saffron,
the world’s most expensive spice, is
derived from the dried crocus
stamen.

This legend was shared by Rev.
Nelson with the children at
Londesboro United Church on
Sunday, Jan. 26.
The morning’s message was titled
Keep Your Eyes Fixed On Jesus.
Genesis I: I-13 is an account of the
first three days of the creation of the
world by God. During those days,
God brought light and life to a void
of chaos and darkness.
The Gospel lesson, Matthew 14:
22-23 was the story of Peter’s walk
on water to reach Jesus in the midst
of a storm at sea.
The Hebrews of Christ’s time
feared the Sea of Galilee and its
storms but were confident in God’s
power to protect them.In Matthew’s
scripture, the disciples were
experiencing difficulty in reaching
the far shore and Jesus. There was
such fear and anxiety amongst them
that they failed to recognize Jesus
when He appeared to them in the
storm.
He did not calm the storm as He
wanted them to focus on His

When Peter tried to reach Jesus, he
was stopped by his inability to
believe, to have faith, to slay focused
on Christ’s presence. In a life of
discipleship, there are always
storms, but by keeping our eyes on
Christ, the chaos will not overwhelm
us. He will bring courageous hearts
and peaceful minds.
Tonya Drost read a minute for
missions which told of the gratitude
felt by a group of African women to
the mission and service fund of the
United Church of Canada. The
group’s survival was ensured by the
lessons and marketable crafts that
church organization had taught
them.
