Attention: The Haldimand Pregnancy Care Centre has an urgent need for babysitters – especially on
Monday morning 9.45-12 noon. We have several new moms coming to our groups and the childcare
needs have increased as a result. Also we have one babysitter having surgery and our child care coordinator will be off for a couple of months having a baby herself and so we are needing to fill some
times on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings 9.45-12 noon at our Dunnville Centre.
Without our valuable babysitters our moms can’t attend group. If you can help out we would really
appreciate it. Please contact Carol Butler, Executive Director at 905 774 1228.

on "The Truth Project", moving on to lesson nine "The State: Whose Law? -Of all the social spheres,
the state, to which God grants the power of the sword for the punishment of evil and the preservation
of the good, has the greatest potential to go awry if it oversteps its authority. The civil magistrate
must always remember his place under the sovereignty of God otherwise, havoc will ensue." For more
