Seventeen children gathered at the
front of the church. Rev. Joan
Tuchlinsky produced paper and
crayons. She asked the children their
favourite colours. She coloured each
colour in turn, but over top of each
other. The result was a blend of

each colour. People are like colours,
she said, all have their own
uniqueness and special gifts to share
and are different from one another.
