The Citizen, 2005-04-14, Page 7Students rewarded FROM LONDESBORO for virtues At the assembly held on Monday, April 4 at Hullett Central Public School, pupils were recognized for exemplifying the virtues under consideration during the month of March. A young girl who, as a friend, always does what she says she is going to. was noted for demonstrating trustworthiness. Understanding was noticed in a pupil who understands the feelings of others and doesn’t like to see someone’s feelings hurt. The pupil who enters a room quietly each day and starts to work without bothering others was an example of peacefulness. By answering honestly a young boy was recognized for his integrity. The virtues chosen for the first full month of spring seem quite appropriate I think for that “coming to life” month - courage: the ability to face something fearful; excellence: to demonstrate your highest potential; enthusiasm: to demonstrate a love for life; and creativity: the ability to show a fresh perspective. Wednesday, April 6 the Grade 5 pupils began their eight-week program of swimming lessons at the Vanastra Recreation Centre. Mr. Caldwell will accompany the Hullett pupils each Wednesday afternoon.

Dad, Bruce Whitmore. Their meditation dialogue was titled “How Deep Is God’s Love. Bubbie, the clown, was apparently on his way to a parade when he had car trouble outside the church, he came in to ask for help and got quite involved in the service. Conversations and interactions between Bubbie and Melissa and the congregants and the children, who stayed up for the whole service, explored the morning's theme. What would a clown be without balloons? And Bubbie had some for the children. To begin with he shaped the balloons like a sword, for the soldiers protecting Christ, and quickly, turned up the other way, they became crosses. Now the children were the soldiers of Christ and marched about the sanctuary. When Bubbie left, with a copy of the Bible, he had learned much about Christianity and the congregation had had a fresh look at their faith. The word Bible, as an acronym, it was explained, stands for Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth. Judging others was the theme of the first scripture reading, verses 37 and 38 of Luke, chapter 6. The second scripture passage, Ephesians 3: 14-2L spoke about “how broad, how high and how deep is Christ’s love.” Barb Hicks will be pulpit supply in Rev. Cook’s absence on April 17.
