Summer has come and gone. Harvest is well underway, make sure you watch out for slow moving and large equipment on the roads when you are out and about enjoying our late summer sunshine.
Lilac Lounge had a Fancy Hat luncheon attendance was down but it was still a great event. Some of the seniors had fun with the photo booth. The summer students did an excellent job of arranging, decorating and making props for this event. Thanks Kareena Sims and Brianna Downey.
Some seniors from the community also attended the final Clack tour and light lunch wind up. There was a group of seniors from Reston who came on a mystery tour to this event. It made for great fun and conver-sation. A good time was had by all.
We would like to thank our summer staff and volunteers for all of their contributions with the various events that were held this summer. It has made all the difference to the enjoyment of our local seniors.
Foot clinics are available if you’re in need of foot care. To make an appointment with our wonderful foot nurse Bonnie Crawford call the seniors office at 204-764-2658. Bonnie comes to Hamiota approximately every 6 weeks setting up her work station in Park and Lilac residence.

Check Hamiota Out!
The Hamiota and area community groups information and sign up day that was held on Saturday, September 7 from 10:00 - 1:00 demonstrated to everyone in attendance that there are many activities to keep one busy in and around Hamiota. The Hamiota Community Centre was buzzing with 38 organizations present. People came to share and support their interests and passions. There were clubs, music, art, sport, hobbies etc. ex-hibiting and sharing information about what each is all about.
The Agricultural Society organized a lunch of beef on a bun, pie and coffee. Having this as an option was beneficial to the people sitting at the tables and for the people visiting.
Overall the day was a positive community event that brought people together to gain connections. New people had the chance to “Check Hamiota Out” under one roof. This was wonderful for anyone new to the community but it was also wonderful for everyone to see what there is to get involved in; it was quite amazing to see so many organizations represented. This was organized by the newly formed “Welcoming Committee”! This committee plans to host a similar event next year!

Cornerstone Family Worship Centre
A moment for families with Pastor Orland
Sheri and I are experiencing the empty nest. I can’t under state the fact that I was not prepared for the emotions experienced when our youngest child moved out. Thankfully we can stay connected with our phones. Emily informed me that she is working with a team in aerospace engineering to build a plane to race in Texas at the end of the school year, and at the same time sent a photo of what she made for supper. Our phones have created a new opportunity for quick communication, but research has shown that they can also be a tool for depersonalized communication, and needless conflict. The adage, ‘think before you speak’, should also apply when we swipe and ‘share.’ The age we live in has been called by culture watchers, the age of outrage. Division, hostility, bullying, intentional misinformation and misdirection abound in our culture and our phones can be used in this. As we equip our children for school with books, crayons, glue and technology, we must also remember to equip them spiritually for the world they live in… a world of outrage. The Bible teaches us how to live peaceably, but rules are not enough. We need a power greater than ourselves to live out these truths in our lives. Jesus made it possible for us to live a life of peace by sending the Holy Spirit to live in everyone who is born again by His Spirit. That means the very Prince of Peace lives in our hearts the moment we receive Jesus as our Savior by faith. This outworking of the Holy Spirit in our lives produces what the Bible calls the fruit of the Spir-it. Love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Now which home or school hallway could use more of these? While we equip our kids for the things they need for success, let’s never forget to teach them that Jesus desires to equip them spiritually for the world in which they live. At Cornerstone Family Worship Centre we believe that the Bible is indeed God’s Word and is useful for equipping everyone for successful, joy filled Christian living.
See you in church,
Pastor Orland
