During the children's time at the

minister Rev. Pat talked about what
is good about Easter. the fun of
dyeing and hunting coloured eggs,
receiving candy and chocolate and
cuddly bunnies, chicks and ducks.
dressing up for Easter church
services and knowing that warm
weather is on its way for outdoor,fun
were mentioned.
But the best thing about Easter is
Jesus. After the sadness of Good
Friday comes the joy of Easter
morning and knowing Jesus died for
each of us.
For the Easter celebration the
senior choir offered two anthems,
Hallelujah, Jesus Lives, and Crown
Him with Many Crowns. In the
responsive Psalm 118, David offers
praise and thanksgiving to God. The
morning's gospel reading from John
20: 1-18 was the story of the empty
tomb discovered by Mary on Easter
morning.
He is Risen was the title for Rev.
Cook's message on Easter Sunday.
She posed the question. "Why do
more Christians attend services on
Easter Sunday than on any other
Sunday of the year?" The answer, "It
is the message of Easter, the empty
tomb which signifies the
resurrection."
The mystery of the empty tomb
prevents Mary from recognizing
Jesus. The events of our busy lives
prevent Christians from recognizing

Congratulations to Sam Clark for

The hunt for a new Ethel
correspondent has proven fruitful
and starting next week. Pam
McLellan will be taking over. For
the most part, I have really enjoyed
writing about the citizens and history
of Ethel. I have had the opportunity
to meet some wonderful people and
in turn have learned a great deal
about the area and about myself.
I intend to scale back my

There were also basketball, penny

night. No one went away without a
prize.
Jesus walks with us, she said. As co-
creators of the world, Rev. Cook
asked that the actions of today's
Christians be to the glory of the
world and God. We can make a
difference by doing the simple things
that help others get through life.
These things proclaim to others that
Jesus Christ is Lord and rose for all

volunteerism and focus a bit more on
my family and myself. Maybe even
get my pottery wheel spinning again
and green things growing in the
greenhouse.
And, as.I look around our house, I
see that I should probably get back
to the renovations I started before
Chris and Emma came along. "We
will look back in life and have more
regret for the things we didn't do
than the things we did."
Take care.
Tractor
stolen
On April 10 at 3:45 p.m. OPP
were contacted about the theft of a
tractor from a residence on Newry
Road in Huron East.
Overnight a person had entered
the farmyard and stole a red 1992
garden tractor from next to the barn.
The tractor was small enough that
it could have easily been loaded into
a pickup truck and driven away. It is
valued at $14,000. Anyone who can
help solve this crime is asked to call
the local OPP or Crime Stoppers at
1-800-222-8477(TI PS).
Hullett Central Public School held
a winit assembly on Monday, April 5
to recognize achievements during
the month of March.
Pupils received acknowledgement
for the month's virtues at that
time.
Showing empathy consistently by
a pupil made it apparent to her
teacher that this girl understands
other people's feelings. The girl who
always responds thiring activities
and studies to the best of her
potential was an example of
excellence.
A pupil who used good judgment
and whose actions match her words
consistently was rewarded for
showing integrity.
The boy who always stands up for
what he knows to be right was
recognized for his courage.
These pupils are examples to the
other pupils in the classroom and in
the yard.
If you are still procrastinating
about setting up a yard sale table on
April 24, be assured that others in
the village have indicated to me that
they are prepared for that
weekend. A week is still lots
of time to do some closet
cleaning.
