They replied, "happy, warm and accepted". -Jesus welcomed everyone to be included and encourages to welcome everyone. The senior choir anthem was Giver of the Perfect Gift. The scripture reader was Marie McGavin, who read the parable of the prodigal son. The reflection presented by Rev. Joan dealt With how people quite often make assumptions about others by how they look. Christians need to view people from a different perspective, through the eyes of Christ, People's situations are not always from their own faults or personal choices and people need to look beyond human judgement. The parable of the prodigal son showed a father who forgave his son for his poor choices and behaviour and ran to greet him on his'return.

But another comment — that it "doesn't hurt to try, though" — will most likely prevail, and Liberal Finance Minister Raiph Goodale could find himself the recipient of a number of letters similar to the one Niagara College. He was called to the bar in 1980. The other guest speaker is Irene Mathyssen who has been a member of the New Democratic Party for more than 16 years. She has served in a dumber of offices in her riding association and was elected in 1990, to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as the MPP for Middlesex. As an MPP, she served as assistant to the Chief Government Whip, as Parliamentary Assistant to two Ministers of the Environment, Ruth Grier and Bud Wildman, and as Associate Minister of Culture, Tourism, and Recrea- tion. After the election in 1995, she returned to teaching and to the work in her riding association. Mathyssen is currently a member of provincial executive of the New Democratic Party where she serves as the southwest representative. She is also a member of the ONDP School Team which assisted the caucus and party with the education policy, "A Brighter Idea for Education." Mathyssen is the nominated Federal NDP candidate in London Fanshawe. sent recently by the Huron-Perth board. "In the Federal Throne Speech of Feb. 2, 2004, your government announced that you will provide all municipalities with full relief from the portion of the GST they currently pay," reads the letter, signed by board chair Ron Marcy. The letter goes on to suggest that Canadian school boards should be offered the same re- lief. According to Business Superintendent Gerry Thuss, a number of Ontario-wide education lobby, groups have identified the issue and advised members to pressure the federal government through such letters.
