particular colour converge on the
streets and file into the church
building. Each colour was then
emphasized in the Bible story that
was taught that day.
The Bible lessons were first
introduced by Sam, our official
balloon vendor acted out by Mrs.
Brenda Sjaarda. She captivated the
children with her many costumes,
colourful balloons and sense of
humour. Brenda had three helpers:
Melanie Bouman, Michelle Klasen
and Jody VanderVeen. Together
they portrayed in drama the need to
use one's gifts to share, care and
love one another and to be thankful
to God for all He has given.
Some Bible lessons the children
were taught included the feeding of
the 5,000; Miriam's courage in
helping to save her brother Moses;
Jesus at the temple; the prodigal
son and King David. As well as
telling the story, children were
encouraged to apply these stories to
their daily living such as sharing
their talents, trusting in God and
loving others.
Singing was also an important
part of each day. Many wonderful
songs were taught by Darlene
VanderVeen and Bill and Mary
Marsh. The songs had kids
Watch for SWAT
By Kate Kuepfer,
Nicole Mastnak and
Aaron Cardiff
SWAT (Students Working
Around Town) '97 has kicked off
this year at the Ark with a group of
17 energetic 11-14-year-olds.
SWAT members are: Derek
Passmore, Amber Park-Shaw,
Nicole Lowe, Chrissy Mason, Lee
Dilworth, Courtney Sallows,
Nicole Mastnak, Ryan Mawhinney,
Matt Clarkson, Cody Nichol, Doug
Mitchell, Evan Horst, Rachel
Elliot, Kate Kuepfer, Elyse
Wilkinson, Ashley Keffer and
Brittany Kellington.
SWAT members have been
active in the Brussels community
clapping, shouting and praising
God.
Of course no fair is complete
without clowns and face painting.
Each day four clowns entertained
the kids and helped paint faces.
They were especially loved by the
little ones.
After singing and listening to
Brenda and her helpers, the
children went into classes. Grades 2
to 6 walked to the United Church
while the others stayed at the
Christian Reformed Church.
During their class time the lessons
were further emphasized and
interesting crafts were completed.
The week ended with a delicious
potluck lunch in Blyth Lions Park.
Les and Jackie Cook then
entertained the children with a
puppet show.
The final event was a special
presentation made during the
worship service Sunday morning in
the Blyth Christian Reformed
Church. There, Brenda, in her
official balloon vendor costume,
helped describe the week while the
children sang the main songs.
It was a very busy week and it
seemed as if a good time was had
by all. I hope to hear more of the
tunes we learned as I*go about my
daily activities. And kids; it's okay
if it's a little off key!

library's Camp-Rent-alot and the
Ark's Junior Summer Recreation
Program. Other projects that have
been done include painting the
Lions statue in front of the library,
painting inside the Ark and holding
a car wash at the Ark, which was
well supported.
With Homecoming just around
the comer SWAT is winding up to
show their support for Brussels by

July 9 was "Around the World".
We had fun trying to hit the pinata
and eating the candies from it, and
talking about different countries.
Did you know that some kids have
to write their homework in the sand
because they don't have paper? We
sang songs about the world.
July 15 was "Fun in the Sun". We
went to the school and we played
games. It was very hot that day. We
went back to the Ark for lunch and
then went back to the school for
more "Fun in the Sun". Then we
got to the public pool as fast as we
could.
July 16 at the "Air Bank Show",
we played games and had lots of
fun. Also, we snuck some
