Fri. 9:00 a.m. Tuesday 7:00 p.m. It’s great to see so many people attending Mass * these days and helping in the Celebration of Service. We had a lovely Baptism on September 13, 1987, to welcome into our Parish, Darlene Loretta McGill, daughter of Jim and Linda McGill. On Mondays at 6:30 p.m. you will find the child- ren of the Parish attending Catechism classes. After the lessons the youngsters gather in the Church base- ment for cookies, juice and a bit of socializing. We wish to thank all the parents who provide the snacks. The Catechism teachers really appreciate the parents helping their youngsters with their lessons at home. We are fortunate to have the same teachers returning for another year. Our children not only benefit from the time that these people volunteer but also from their faith and years of experience.

A snowroof has been erected over Sister Claire’s trailer so she will no longer have to climb the ladder to shovel the snow. Sister would like to thank the follow- ing men who gave their time, in snow and rain, to get the job done: Jason Clark, Jean-Marie Bilodeau, Cyril Habjan, Tony Pinto, Father Joe LeVerge and Chad Clark. On Sunday, September 27th, we held our first Potluck Luncheon. At this time, Joan expressed a very warm welcome to Father Joseph LeVerge on behalf of the Parish. We are pleased to have Father LeVerge among us and wish him a long stay in Cassiar. During the Mass, Erin McGrail, Byron Clark, Ken Smith, and Tony Pisonic received ‘““‘The Good News Gospels”. This book is part of their course four program entitled “We Have Seen The Lord”. Father LeVerge and Sister Claire were in White- horse on October Ist for the Ordination of our new Bishop, Father Tom Lobsinger. Twenty-one Archbishops Priests and Sisters from across Canada attended the Ordination. From all reports the Parish of Whitehorse did a marvelous job of preparing and catering the seventy-one meals that were needed for the three days. We look forward to having Bishop Lobsinger visit our Parish, in the early spring. We have six prospec- tive candidates for Confirmation: Stephanie Slana, Allen Artico, Chad Clark, Stan McGill, Peter McGuiness and Steven Vidovic. At this time the Ladies of the Parish are preparing for our Annual Christmas Bazaar to be held at the Rec Centre on Saturday, November 29th. submitted by Louise Clark ‘All Saints Anglican SERVICES: 10:30 a.m. Sunday Ist, 3rd, and Sth Sundays: HOLY EUCHARIST 2nd and 4th Sundays: MORNING WORSHIP THRIFT SHOP:~ 2nd and 4th Wednesdays - 7 to 8 p.m. MINISTER: Rev.

Julian, climbed down off the alter, where he had been trimming up the candles, and scurried up be- side Zachary. “Kind. of gets to you, doesn’t it? Victoria hasn’t had a drop of rain in five months, and we haven’t had a dry day in five months. I’ve got mold growing between my toes.” Zachary suddenly moved with determination down the aisle of the Church and went into the Office. “What is that reading we usually have on Thanksgiving? Something about the rains coming down and watering the earth? Maybe there is something there that I’ve missed.” Julian was right on his tail. “Jt comes out of Isaish,” he ventured, “one of the Servant Songs, I think.” To- gether they pulled one of the Minister’s Bibles off the bottom shelf and began to turn pages as a team, So great was their zeal that they had soon found what they were looking for. “Here it is,” exlaimed Julian, and he began to read the passage aloud. “Yes, as the rain and snow come down from the heavens and do not return without watering the earth, making it yield and giving growth to provide seed for the sower and bread for the eating...” (Isaiah 55:10) “What’s going on in here?” It was Priscilla, who had just come into the office after sweeping the mud out of the nest for the second time that day. “We are trying to cope with the rain,”’ replied Zachary, “and I thought maybe this passage out of Isaiah would lighten my frame of mind. Listen to this,” and he read the passage again. Priscilla thought for a moment, glanced at Julian, who didn’t seem quite so stoic as usual, and then replied softly, “7¢ makes one realize that even the bad things can be turned to good purposes in the will of God.” “The Bible never ceases to deal with our lives on a down to earth ba- sis,” mused Julian, “listen to the rest of that passage.” “ . .. SO the word that goes from my mouth does not return to me empty, without carrying out my will and succeeding what it was sent to do,” Zachary stood upright on the Bible, thought fora moment and then spoke. “You know, I don’t feel so bad now. The rain has a good purpose and the earth cannot survive without it, but it also reminds us of God’s pres- ence in our lives. As often as the rain comes down on us here, God’s word comes to us even more often, It never returns to Him empty handed without first accomplishing something in our lives. Maybe I should think of all that rain as God’s word coming to me. Just as rain is the source of life on earth, I guess that His work is the basis of my life. I can’t survive without it. The rain and the gray cloud are not quite so bad if I can remind myself of that.” The three brassmice looked at each other. So far it had been a dreary and difficult autumn. But they knew, as they looked at each other, that at least they had each other and unseen, yet ever present, God was a force in their lives.

ABSENCES Parents who are keeping their children at home due to illness or some other reason are asked to phone the school and inform the sec- retary.

Remember too, that our playground is unsuper- vised prior to 8:35 A.M. - sending children to school before that time means that they are out- side in the cold for long periods of time and are not being directly supervised by an adult.
