Children Learn What They Live If a child lives with criticism, He learns to condemn, If a child lives with hostility, She learns to fight, If a child lives with ridicule, He learns to be shy, If a child lives with shame, She will learn to feel guilty, If a child lives with tolerance, He learns to be patient, If a child lives with encouragement, She learns to appreciate. If a child lives with fairness He learns justice. If a child lives with security, He learns to have faith. If a child lives with approval, He learns to like himself. If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, She learns to find love in the world. Source unknown.

The Sunday School Donation of Books to the Library

CHURCH SCHOOL MISSIONS 2007 KENY & MALAWI: Buy a bike for an evangelist Many evangelists in Africa must travel considerable distances on foot or by public transportation to teach and visit congregations. Evangelists are the front line of the church's mission in these countries. In an outreach area consisting of tem congregations, an evangelist can visit one congregation a week. With a bicycle, mountain bike or motorcycle, three or more congregations can be reached. Your gift will help our partner churches in Africa to purchase new bicycles as well as provide repairs for those already in use. Congratulations to the Sunday school and many thanks to the congregation. Enough money to buy at least 5 bikes for evangelists was raised!

CHURCH SCHOOL MISSIONS 2004
Caledonia Presbyterian Churchs Sunday School presented Jean Rent of the Caledonia Public Library with numerous Christian Childrens books worth $290.00 for the new library. Each year the Sunday School donates money raised through hosting coffee hours after the Worship Service, through weekly collections and donations to one or more local missions as well as international missions. Money raised this year helped to build a well in Malawi, our international project; and a donation of $250.00 along with toys and books went to the Simcoe Womens Shelter.
Donation to the Women's Shelter
Sunday, May 2, a cheque for $250.00 plus a bag full of teddy bears and some books and other toys was presented to Kelly Salazar of the Simcoe Women's Shelter. The items and money were gratefully received. This is an important local mission because the Shelter helps women and children in crisis. The toys as well as the money will be of some comfort to the children and women who come to the shelter since they often can't bring many belongings. For more information about the Simcoe Women's Shelter go to their website.
Clean Water Program in Malawi
The Rural population of Northern Malawi is estimated to be approximately 1.3 Million, of which 41% hs no access to clean water. Lack of safe drinking water can lead to potentially fatal diseases such as typhoid, cholera and dysentery. Compounding the problem is the lack of sanitation facilities. The use of traditional pit latrines is very common in Malawi, especially in rural areas. Our Sunday School decided to make building a clean water well our 2003/2004 international mission project through PWS&D. We have committed the funds to build a well which will supply clean water to a community in Malawi. Soem information is on the Bulletin Board in the Upper Hall. More is forthcoming. The cost of the project is approximately $1,600.00. Donations can be dropped into "THE WELL OF HOPE" on the table in the Upper Hall. Thank you for your support. The Sunday School Teachers & Students Les Miles Kelly Bowers Well Fund Committee The Sunday School presented Karen Plater, the Resource and Communications Coordinator for Presbyterian World Services & Development, with a cheque for $1,600.00 for a well in Malawi. Thanks to all the people who donated to the well project to make this mission a huge success!
