My apologies to the hard-working
student advisory committee and staff
at Hullett Central School. In the
report about the community fun
night a zero went missing from the
total of funds raised that evening.
They actually raised $11,000 at that
event.
The warm weather we enjoyed for
a time had the pupils out practising
for the track and field day coming up
before the end of May.
Also, many of them are in
rehearsals for the spring concert on
May 7 at 7 p.m. The concert will
include the primary choir,
kindergarten and an operetta, The
Emperor’s New Clothes.
Fairness is the character attribute
being given emphasis in May.

Londesborough United Church
celebrated Camping Sunday on April
27.
During the children’s time at the
front they talked with Rev. Pat Cook
about camp activities. Along with
games, campfires, swimming, crafts
and hikes, they recognized that they
learned much at camp about God’s
love and the wonderful world He
created for them.
It was further noted that children
know many ways they can protect
the world – conserving, cleaning up
garage, recycling, etc. Rev. Pat
showed them her new envirobag for
shopping. The children realized that
it could be used over and over saving
on the use of plastic ones.
Rev. Pat told the children that they
are like those envirobags. God uses
them over and over to do His work
on earth teaching and loving those
with whom they come in contact.
The children had a camping
session downstairs complete with a
tent and campfire. In keeping with
the champing theme, the senior choir
sang a medley of camp songs
encouraging the congregation to join
in.
We Are Not Oprhans was the title
of Rev. Cook’s message to the adults.
Her supporting scriptures were
Psalm 66 and John 14: 15-21. The
gospel reading was an account of
Christ’s talk with His disciples in
which He promised them the help of
the Holy Spirit.
This promise is extended to all
God’s followers. We can be assured
that His Spirit is an ever-present
counsellor, comforter and guide.
This Spirit will encourage and show
how best to live and share God’s love
with others. If people fall off that
path or waiver God is always near.
With His help they can recognize the
need and hurts of others and show
compassion and love. This Spirit
helps them to be the best they can be
in living their lives for the glory of
God.
The junior youth group will gather
at Hullett Central on Friday, May 2
from 7 - 9 p.m. for games.
Anyone wishing to be part of a
men’s choir on May 11 are asked to
meet for a first practice at 10 a.m. on
May 4.
Volunteers are needed for spring
cleanup at Camp Menesetung on
Saturday, May 10 from 10 a.m. to 3
p.m. Lunch will be provided. Barb
Knox can supply more information
at 519-523-4290.
