Mrs. Abram gave the children's message and Mr, Abram spoke to the congregation from the First Letter of John "The love of God is compassion for the whole world is merciful to all sinners". He said "The only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ." Lucan Pentecostal Church news Sunday morning Rev. Ray Brewster spoke from the Psalms. "Praise Ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God." He said God delights in all those people who fear and trust Him. Praising God brings us into the place of trust. Mr. Brewster stated, "We, as Christians, must ' know how to praise God daily in our own individual lives, not just in church on Sunday. God will answer our needs any time when we praise Him." Sunday evening the Annual Christmas concert was held. "The Star of Christmas" was the name given to this year's program with almost 100 students and teachers involved. It was held at the Lucan Public School. Mrs. Ray Brewster was co- ordinator with John Armitage as Master of Ceremonies. Mrs. John Armitage and Mrs. Roy Dykeman played piano accompaniment for'the program. Perhaps the trouble with most of us is well described by what William Howard Taft once said: "Too many people don't care what happens so long as it doesn't happen to them."
