Page 4 July 1982 Cassiar Courier Beavers by Sue Chambers Beavers ended this year with a very successful family picnic at Boya Lake picnic grounds. On June 13, the Beavers, with their families, joined the Cubs and Scouts, who had been on a two day campout. The weather co-operated to the point where it was an effort to keep everyone from dipping into the lake. All three groups joined together to participate in a Scavenger Hunt that took them throughout the campsite to find various flora, insects and rocks. Following that a terrific parent work crew managed to feed everyone barbecued hamburgers, roasted hotdogs, marshmallows and watermelon, which was provided for them. Thank you to those parents who pitched in and to those who brought salads. After supper the Scouts led a game of Red Rover for the other boys and then we had a three- legged race. Before we knew it it was time to come home although we missed out on campfire songs. A special thank you to Susan McPhail and Rick Cameron, who contributed so much to mak- ing the day a success. A thank you also to ‘the Parks crew. Beavers has now finished for the summer. The boys have done several crafts, heard stories, learn- ed new skills, grown beans, played games, gained a repertoire of songs, increased their responsibil- ity and participated in the ceremony of Beaver meetings. I look forward to seeing them all, plus any new faces, in the fall. BROWNIE & GUIDE B. 1NOUE T by Bizabeth Maui To mark the end of a very successful year ot Brownies and Guides in Cassiar, a windup Ban- quet was held on Sunday, June 13th. Our guests included a parent or friend invited by each Brownie or Guide, the Testers of the various badges earned by the girls over the year, our Dis- trict Commissioner, Nada Carin and the a Stats of the Parents’ Committee. Before starting the meal, which was all con- tributed by the mothers, a Toast to the Queen, a Toast to the Mothers and a Grace, in the form of Brownie Taps, was said. Many thanks to the mothers who put up a lovely selection of dishes which were very much enjoyed by everyone. Also to the Parents Committee for their valuable help in coordinating the event. Mrs. Elhorn then presented badges to the Brownies and Guides who had earned them recent ly. Service Pins were also presented, ranging from one year service to 5 years service. At this point, a letter from the Peace River Area Commissioner was read out thanking Nada Carin for her valuable contribution to Guiding over the past years. Nada was then presented with the Blue Badge of Thanks in appreciation of her efforts. Three Brownies, Pammy Krawczyk, Cassandra Sutherland and Emma Crawford ‘“‘walked up” to Guides, were met by the two Guide Patrol Leaders and introduced to all the Guides who ex- pressed the hope that they would see them in the next Guiding year. Brownies and Guides then sang “It’s a Small World’’ together. Brownie Leader, Margaret Voss, then spoke of how much enjoyment being a Brownie and Guide Leader had brought over the past vear and hoped that the girls themselves had benefitted from the program offered. Jennifer Becket thanked Marg- aret Voss and Gayleen Connolly for acting as Brownie Leaders as did Kate Elhorn thank Liz Maguire for acting as Guide Leader. Nada Carin, in her capacity as District Com- missioner, presented Margaret, Gayleen and Liz with a gift in appreciation of their involvement over the past year. We all look forward very much to another suc- cessful year of Brownies and Guides starting once again in September. A Happy Holiday Season to everyone!

On Easter Sunday Heidi Elisabeth Pinter was brought to church by her parents for Baptism. On that same day five boys received the Holy Eucharist for the first time: Travis Penno, Michel Bernier, Frederique Godbout, Gaetan Lamarre and Shannon Perry. On Trinity Sunday, June 6th, Cliff and Ruby Smith brought their infant, Barry Shaun Caluen for Baptism. In the meantime, our Religious Education Program came to an end, completing 20 lessons in each course.

We hope to have a good co-operation again this year. These classes are more like the icing on the cake, for the real work of education is done by the parents at home, following each lesson with the child. The Diocese, through Bishop Hubert O’Connor, O.M.1., has purchased. a trailer on 670 Brown Street, Cassiar, for Sister Claire Murphy. She is terminating her teaching career to donate a few years of service: to this northern community. Sister Claire came last year with Sister Maureen to visit daily our mission at Good Hope Lake.

Thirty-eight clerical and lay dele- gates from every parish gathered for this Synod, which focussed on “‘Anglicans - in-Mission”, the nation-wide mis- sion study and financial development campaign being car- ried on throughout 1982 and into 1983. Each day began with small-group Bible study on mission; the diocesan Anglicans in Mission team was introduced; Canon Ebert Hobbs, national director of the program, ad- dressed the Synod on Saturday and preached at the Sun- day service in Christ Church Cathedral; John Watts, dioce- san mission study director, reported on the mission study already going on in Yukon parishes, and led Synod mem- bers through the new material for use during the summer and early fall; and the Synod made some important deci- sions about Anglicans-in-Mission in this diocese. Synod de- cided to accept as our share of the money to be raised for the national Anglicans-in-Mission goals a total of $43,000, This was the figure suggested to us by the national com- mittee. Synod also decided to accept a matching figure of — ' $43,000 as our diocesan goal for special mission and re- newal projects at home. Thus our total goal for the finan- cial development stage of Anglicans-in-Mission is $86,000. Hilda Hellaby, 84 years old, is a Deacon in Whi tehorse. The very special guests of Synod were the Right Reverend Eustace Kamanyire, Bishop of the Diocese of Ruwenzori in Uganda, and his wife Irene. Bishop Kamanyire was a personal friend of Archbishop Janani Luwum, the leader of the Church of Uganda, who was killed by the Amin regime in 1979 (it is generally acknowledged that Idi Amin himself pulled the trigger). He himself was beaten up by thugs, and he and his family fled the country, along with most of the ‘high profile’ Christian leadership. He re- turned to Uganda in 19817 to face the struggle of recon- struction in a country that was financially, morally and intellectually bankrupt. He told us about the church in Uganda, emphasizing the strong lay leadership that exists there; the recognized leaders may have had to flee for Nominations for consideration should be addressed to: c/o Brinco Mining Limited ’ Cassiar Resources Division Cassiar, B.C. and marked “Confidential”.

Bill Morrison their lives under Amin, but that doesn’t mean the church stopped functioning; it just means it carried on with lay leadership. His diocese has 35 ordained ministers to give pastoral and sacramental ministry to more than 700 con- gregations. When he has a Confirmation, he said, the pro- blem is not , as is often the case in Yukon, that there are not enough candidates, but that there are too many. His largest Confirmation class had nearly 300 people in it, some of whom walked for two days to get there. Bishop Kamanyire and Irene won the hearts of the Synod dele- gates, and brought us a gift of encouragement and hope. And humor: one delegate asked him, “You are a_‘first- generation Christian, and most of us here are second, or third, or tenth generation Christians: do you see any dif- ference in that?’; to which the Bishop replied, ‘Well, | don’t read anywhere in the Bible that God has grana- children.’ LADIES GROUP The Ladies’ Group. brought their 1981—82 series of. monthly meetings to an end with the traditional dinner, held this year on May 31. Twenty women attended and enjoyed what was, by all reports, a fine meal. Lil Kamlah said, ‘I tals we must have all the best cooks in. town in our group. President Betty Cartwright presented church spoons to Eve Thirlwell and Evelyn Rattray, two members of many years standing, who are now leaving town.

The adult study course on the Old Testament end- ed on May 19th, with many participants hoping that we would be able to go on in the fall to ‘Journey 2’, the New Testament course. The Kindergarten and Primary classes had their last sessions on May 16th. ! want to say a special word of thanks to the Sunday School teachers: to Phyllis Hardy, who devoted nearly every Sunday of the year to the Kindergarten class; to Wendy Cartwright and Rose Quash, who taught the Pri- mary class; and to Pat Riddle, who organized the roster of mothers who supervised the Nursery each week, These four people exercised a valuable ministry to our children, which is very much appreciated. a a tt ot
