Your thoughtfulness is appreciated! .................Allan & Yolande Ranson May 2016 3 Cornerstone Family Worship Centre (CFWC) A moment for families with Pastor Orland Usick: This article is something you can talk about around the supper table...this month: Jesus is our source for all our peace. Matthew 11:28-30 Amplified Bible (AMP): “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest [renewal, blessed quiet] for your souls. For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.” When people struggle and life becomes hard, they tend to look elsewhere for strength instead of the Lord. Life becomes mundane and purposeless. Dreams die and hope vanishes. The best they hope for is a few minutes of fun and distraction on the weekend. Many times people turn to religion hoping that this will help. Some have created their own brand of religion, taking a bit of Christianity, a bit of new age and a little eastern mysticism. In the end nothing really seems to provide the peace they are looking for. Christ invites us to look to Him and to Him only. The crucial difference between following Christ and all other religions is that we are offered a relationship with God, one that Jesus initiated and maintains. When your faith is in Christ a whole new world of help opens up. You can now rely on God’s power and strength within you! Psalm 34:19 says, “The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all” (NIV). Proverbs 24:16 says, “For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again” (NIV). No matter what you’re facing, He can take you through! He gives us the strength by relying on the power of the Holy Spirit within. There is not a challenge that is too big for God. There is not a problem that He won’t give you wisdom. “I tell you the truth,” says Jesus, “if you have faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘move from here to there’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible” (Matthew 17:20, NLT). So what is possible?....................... “Everything is possible for one who believes” (Mark 9:23, NIV)! Why not try Jesus and Jesus only today! ...............................Till next Month…Pastor Orland Upcoming Events: Junior Youth- Monday After School. Our year end wind-up is Friday May 20. Meet at the church then we are heading out to Ruth and Vern’s farm for an evening of great food and outdoor games. Power Tool Time Boys Club- Thanks to all the volunteers.

We had a nice-sized crowd attend for some great Canadian music - about half original and then a great mix of "Great Big Sea", Gordon Lightfoot, Murray McLachlan, and others. Great spread of food provided by the board and just an all-round enjoyable evening - thanks for being there! Coming up we have the MWAC's annual general meeting which is more a celebration of another successful year ...... anyone is welcome to attend! It is being held Monday, May 16 at the Oak River Inn. Happy hour 5:30-6:30, supper for $15 at 6:30 p.m. followed by performances by some of our graduating musicians. Jaimie Rose, Randy Kirk, Bailey Wilson and Brian Johnson have been performing for the Arts Council for four or five years now and it’s a pleasure to see what accomplished musicians they've all become......... we will miss them, but hope they'll still come back to visit after graduation! If anyone is interested in attending, please phone Carol Forsyth at Oak River (566-2303) so she can let the Inn know supper numbers. Also coming up is the annual Hamiota Mid-West Art Club annual show and tea on June 4, from 2-4 p.m. at the Heritage Arts Centre. This year's theme "The Sky's the Limit" is from a workshop some members attended by Gerry Oliver. There will be a feature wall of 'sky' paintings as well as all the work they've completed this past year, so hope you can make it. Their display will remain as the exhibition for the month of June in the Gallery. The Midwest If you missed the Ukrainian dancing of Zachary and Rheanna Melnyk of Rossburn at the 'Fiddle Faddle' concert at the Art Centre..... Don't Worry. We're hoping to get them back for the fair concert at the rink in July! 5 The current exhibition is a bright-coloured mix of people, places and still life subjects by self-taught artist Agueda Montenegro. Agueda and her family moved to the area from Mexico 10 years ago and you can catch the Mexican vibe in the vivid colours and interesting approaches in the exhibition. Many of them are for sale and five have actually sold already although they will remain on display until the end of May, so that tells you something about the appeal of this emerging artist! Our last booked concert from an 'away' performer for this year will be by Jay Aymar, on June 21, so mark your calendars. Jay was here last year and put on an absolutely great show. He is also a published author and has a number of CD's to his credit. It is not often we get an opportunity to host someone you'd expect to see in larger venues, so we really appreciate Jay's generous philosophy that makes him willing to share his talent with small (but charming!) venues like the Heritage Arts Centre. Hope you'll take advantage of this opportunity and call the Arts Centre for tickets! Believe it or not, it is nearly time for tea! The Heritage Art Centre's weekly Thursday teas will be starting Thursday, June 9 from 2-4 p.m. and will be running right through until the end of September with the exception of fair day. It's a great summer fundraiser for the Art Council which helps provide for the youth classes, programs and concerts we run the rest of the year, so please continue with your generous support again this year. And, for five dollars, you get your choice of tea and a lovely dessert or fruit cup, a pleasant atmosphere, beautiful art displays to look at and a great place to bring company or meet with friends. We look forward to seeing you all again! School of Dance held their year-end recital on April 17th. The dancers performed twenty-two dances to a full house at the Hamiota Collegiate Institute. Dale Davison was the MC for the afternoon and did an outstanding job! This year’s dance recital was bitter sweet as we said good bye and good luck to our two dance instructors. Miss Kelsey Keilback has been an instructor with the program for eight years and is graduating from the Brandon University with her Bachelor of Physical Education. Also, after two years Miss Niki Nelson has decided to continue her Bachelor of Management at the University of Lethbridge next year. We would like to introduce Miss Brooke Webber as the dance instructor for the 2016/2017 dance season. Miss Brooke currently teaches at Steppin’ Time Dance Studio in Brandon, MB and will be available to teach our dancers Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. Miss Brooke brings with her 16 years of dancing experience and five years of teaching experience. She is very excited to start working with our dancers in September! The schedule for the 2016/2017 dance season is currently under construction. A general meeting will be held in June (date and time to be determined), with registration for the 2016/2017 season in late August/early September. Anyone with question regarding the Midwest School of Dance can contact Sherri Robinson at (204) 764-0644 or [email protected]. 6 May 2016 April has been a busy month again and the nice weather is a real blessing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those folks affected by the forest fires. Our Grade 3 Buddies were back for visits again and since it was Earth Day themed, the seniors and the students made bird feeders from recycled toilet paper rolls and then we hung them on the trees. The students also asked the seniors about how they recycled in their student days. As we know the seniors are experts at reusing and recycling and that is second nature to them. It was a fun morning and enjoyed by all. One more at both buildings and then we bid our students farewell for another school year. Another hot lunch was held at the Elementary School and our wonderful volunteers this month were Tammy Campbell, Faye Bridge, Diane Johns, Ev Allan and Wendy Bell. Thank you very much for giving up your time for this event. One last one to go here at the end of May and that will wrap up the hot lunches for this school year. The Hamiota Seniors Council held our fundraising pie auction on Wednesday May 11th and we wish to thank everyone who donated time, baking, attending our event, reminder phone calls, picking up donations, working at the auction and without your help it could not have been a success and who doesn’t love pie! I also need to thank the students who helped out with our event by providing the entertainment “Clean Slate” and the “Senior Tap Class”, as well as the students who volunteered their time to assist with serving, setting up, etc. Ken & Shirley Hudson of Hudson’s Auction Services were a valuable asset to our auction and we thank them for giving of their time. The Hamiota Chamber of Commerce, Hamiota Economic Development, Co-op and Super Thrifty Drugstore are sponsoring a ‘Free Ride on the Handi-van’ for shopping purposes on the 1st & 3rd Tuesday of the month. If you live at Park or Lilac Residence, please call me to book your seat at 204 764-2658. If you live in the community and want to take advantage of this service, please call Edwin to book your seat at 204 764-2003. The bus picks you up at 1 p.m. and returns you back after shopping has been completed. A very great service that we hope will be utilized. Next trip is May 17th @ 1 p.m. Book early to avoid disappointment. It was recently brought to my attention that there may be some seniors in our community that do not have an ERIK kit or that theirs may be outdated and needs to be brought up to current status. Please know that I have these kits in my office and they are available to anyone who wants one. The important aspects of the ERIK kit are to place it on your fridge so that if the ambulance arrives they know to look for it there. This kit holds your current medication list, your Manitoba Health Numbers, emergency contacts, family doctor, as well as your health care directives if you are unable to speak for yourself in the event of a medical emergency. This is great information for us all and not simply for seniors. If you need an ERIK Kit or want to update yours, please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to give you one. They really speed up the care at the hospital as the first pieces of the puzzle are already there for the attendants to work with. I am also looking at holding another Mature Drivers Workshop and I am awaiting some dates from the instructor to set this up. We need 15 participants to attend and it is a very worthwhile workshop for anyone wishing to improve their skills or simply to reinforce some rules and regulations that may have been forgotten or underused. Please note this workshop is not an avenue to revoke anyone’s license, it is a teaching tool. I will have more information on this at a future date so please stay posted. . Until next month........... get out and enjoy our Manitoba sunshine! ..................Veronica Menzies May 2016 May: 1-31 Gallery Art by Agueda Montenegro 16 Mid-West Arts Council AGM and concert 20 A Port in the Storm - BBQ & Bake Sale 28 Registration deadline for Soap-Making Workshop 31 Afterschool Art Display and Jazz Performance June: 4 Annual Art Club Show and Tea 2-4 p.m. 9,16,23,30 Tea at the "Old" Bank Selection of desserts 2-4 p.m. 12 5K Colour Walk for A Port in the Storm 21 Jay Aymar Concert 8 p.m. 25 Soap-Making Workshop (Karen Bell) 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. 28 Graduation Ceremonies 7:30 p.m. 7 Heritage Arts Centre Oak River Inn Vanguard CU Parking Lot Mid-West Arts Council Hamiota Community Hall Heritage Arts Centre Heritage Arts Centre Hamiota Collegiate Institute Heritage Arts Centre Heritage Arts Centre Hamiota Collegiate Institute ® The Purina Walk for Dog Guides is a national fundraising walk in support of Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides held in more than 200 communities across Canada.
