The fund is always doing mission work for ongoing needs’ and also in times of emergency such as the tsunami. In Romans 9: 1-5 Paul writes a letter of love rooted in fear to the Philippians. He acknowledges he can do all things through Christ. The morning’s Gospel reading, Luke 6: 17-26 is Luke’s version of the Beatitudes. He added verses to suit the Gentile community he was addressing. Paul was filled with anguish when he wrote his letter. He had been accused of not caring for the Jews. In today’s world everyone needs a cushion between themselves and the Francis (Lyon) Bolmer.

Day perfect for meet UCW looks at what matters One hundred years from now much of what one worries about today - money, clothes, homes, career, etc. won't matter. However the difference one may make in the life of a child will. That reading by Joan Whyte set the tone for the meditation at the May regular meeting of the Londesborough UCW on Monday, May 16. Helen Dale offered a story about the encounter between a teacher and a determined pupil. By the end of that semester both were thankful for how the other had changed their life. Proverbs 3: 13-24 reinforced the theme of gaining insight. Letters and notes from students and/or their parents are the proof she needs to be sure she made a difference in the lives of a number of her students says Margie Whyte, the evening’s guest speaker. Raised in Hullett Twp. Margie, who now resides in Guelph, spoke about the experiences in her 30 years of teaching math to both elementary and high school students. In addition to years of teaching in Ontario, teacher exchanges offered Margie the opportunity to teach in Australia. British Columbia. New Zealand and Scotland. She was also part of a three- weck training course for student teachers in Gambia. West Africa. These varied cultural experiences enriched her life and teaching. Now retired from full-time teaching, Margie still tutors teenagers in math. All these different teaching situations were crammed full of new circumstances, people and places to explore. And, she stated, each experience taught her something more to bring to her succeeding classes. Margie claims her career got off to a rocky start, but her determination to be a great teacher motivated her to go boldly on. Her belief that one needs to believe in one’s self fueled her determination. That belief was something she endeavoured to pass onto her students.

At the end of the regular season play Team 3 was in who they are than by what they teach, Margie feels, and when opportunities arose in classes to affect students’ lives with more than math. Margie tried to do just that. Feedback and faith encouraged her through rough spots. She prodded students with the axiom of you can if you think you can. Her talk left the ladies gathered convinced they, too, can make a difference in someone’s life even by small gestures of caring. The UCW will lead the morning service on May 29.
