the Canadian Imperial Bank

positions in London, Toronto,
Shedden and most recently,
Sarnia.

by Mrs. John MacDonald
and Mrs. Jack Ryan, during
which a beautiful recording
of “The Old Rugged Cross”
was greatly enjoyed.
Three Easter filmstrips
were shown, accompanied
by recordings of voices and
music. The one on the
Crucifixion was so very
realistic that it brought tears
to many eyes as we were
brought face to face with the
terrible suffering of our
Lord.
The Resurrection film was
just as realistic and brought
to the members the joy of
Easter. The scenes in the
Upper Room with the 10
disciples and then with
Thomas and the others was
also very meaningful.
Mrs. David Park presided
for the business meeting
when it was announced that
there was a need for adult
mittens to be included on the
mitten tree in the fall and
it was suggested that they
should be sent earlier. So —
let’s keep knitting during the
summer and be ready for
October.

The junior choir under the
direction of Mrs. Dale Froats
and with the organist Miss
Helen Brown at the piano,
sang two lovely Palm
Sunday choruses at the
Sunday service in Lucan
United Church.
“The Coming of Christ to
Our Community” was the
theme chosen by Rev. Keith
Brown, who said that today
we remember the trium
phant entry of Jesus on His
last visit to Jerusalem before
his death. Crowds are so
easily swayed. On this day of
triumph they were shouting
“Hosanna, Hosanna” and a
few days later they were
shouting “Crucify Him.”
What if He came to Lucan?
How would He be received?
Many of us have forsaken
Him. Many come to church
Sunday after Sunday, but on
Monday we go out and live as
though we had never heard
of Christ. However, there are
those whose love and service
to Him continue day after
day and week after week,
year after year.
They are not without trials
and temptations but are
upheld by their faith in Him
as their Lord and Saviour.
We must all earnestly pray
for Christ’s coming into our
lives.
The floral arrangements in
the sanctuary were from the
funeral of the late Michael
Culbert. His family and
loved ones are remembered
in our prayers.
The spring Fellowship
Lunch sponsored by the
Friendship Unit following
the service was well at
tended and very much en
joyed by all. Thanks to all

successful.
The Couples fellowship
club meets tonight, Thur

Good Friday, a service will

most sacred of all times of
the Christian year.
Everyone is reminded of
