Corner of Peace<br />
I don’t know about you but I really love colours with their great richness and endless variety of shades and intensity. Nature<br />
provides a richness that we can never find in the city or manmade items – whether it is a river scene, a bush scene, a<br />
sunrise or sun set, awesome scenery, animals and creatures busy and at play or a lovely garden.<br />
That is not to say that I do not appreciate the colours which humans have used to beautify cities, and items made to<br />
purchase either for daily use or as decorative additions to our lives. These items are often the result of much time and<br />
effort, and in the long run are for the most part inspired by things in nature which are adjusted to be pleasing for their<br />
designed use.<br />
Then there is the beauty of pictures painted by artists, bringing into play a vibrant or subdued use of colour according to the<br />
artist’s inspiration or design. And I am not only referring to the greats of art – I am also thinking of the beautiful, honest and<br />
inspired artwork of our children right here in this school – I have been treated to some wonderful use of colour by the<br />
children who join me on our Friday lunch time art group. (They are the artists – not me – I just provide the materials, ideas<br />
and pictures/templates)<br />
Every time I see the beauty in colour of the sunset or a delicate butterfly wing my heart sings in thanks<br />
to our Creator God who made such wonders for us and all creation to enjoy and to share.<br />
God Bless,<br />

Flower Show<br />
Thank you to all parents who donated flowers for the children to use at the <strong>Waikerie</strong> Flower Show. Your generosity was<br />
appreciated and the children enjoyed creating many floral masterpieces to enter in the show. Below is pictures of the 2/3<br />
class and their masterpieces.<br />

Discovery Club is a time when children aged 5-12 can listen to God’s Word,<br />
be involved in craft activities and games and have fun. There is no cost<br />

Centre. For this week the Parish Discovery Club fund is paying for the bus. Tim<br />
Hensel will be riding on the bus with the students and Robert Kalisch will be<br />

Tim, including Corrin Dubrich, Lorraine Fechner and Sharon Perry.<br />
Thank you and God bless,<br />
