Members of the Londesborough
United Church youth group and some
of their friends joined together in the
church basement Saturday morning
to take part in the 30-hour famine to
draw attention to the need for food in
third world countries. These 12.

conducting the morning service on
April 9. Chaperoning the event were

According to Hannah Uyl, a
Grade 8 student at Blyth Public
School, participating in the 30 Hour
Famine was an easy decision.
"They did this neat presentation
(at her youth group with Living
Water Christian Fellowship), and
they showed pictures of poor people-
who are starving and [I thought] it
was just awful," she said.
Uyl along with about 13 other
youths decided to join in the 30
Hour Famine, a fundraiser where
participants receive donation and go
for 30 hours without eating.
"We get to drink fluids and I think
there is soup and maybe rice," Uyl
said before the event started on April
7.
She and her sister Emily raised
about $235.
The group gathered at the Blyth
Public School and distracted
themselves with games and movies.
"They also got involved in
activities that helped them
appreciate what it is like for people
on the other side of the world," one
of the organizers said. "They had to
carry clothes on their head (instead
of pitchers of water) and crack corn
with stone, to learn that even though
you are hungry, the work still needs
to be done."
When the event was over, around 5
p.m. on Saturday, the group gathered
for a big meal of lasagna, but not
forgetting to pause first to reflect on
how truly grateful and fortunate they
were.

receive paid mileage, flexible time to

service that allows people to
continue to live independently in
their own surroundings.

services. Consider helping out by

At the monthly assembly at Hullett
Central Public School on Monday,
April 3 recognition was given to
pupils who exemplified the virtue of
responsibility studied in March. A
group of young girls helped Mrs.
Miller responsibly process books
from the literacy program. They
worked diligently on their own and
processed the books during their

During the children time the boys
and girls re-enacted Christ's entry
into Jerusalem and the Last Supper
using symbols familiar to the
children. Then the young folk passed
out to the congregation crosses made
of folded palm branches before
retiring to their classes.
Mark 11: I-11 is an account of
Christ's triumphant entry into
Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and was
the supportive passage for Rev. Pat
Cook's message, The Truth of Life.
Accounts of Palm Sunday are of a
joyous scene with the children
waving palm branches and the adults
shouting "hosanna" meaning "save
us". They believed Jesus had come to
be their saviour and the conqueror for
their- nation.

Christians for they see the difficult
