This club is not to be confused
with the because., they are
not an undercover agency but just
the opposite, They want everyone
at F.E.Madill S.S. and
surrounding area to know who
they are. They meet every
Wednesday night in activity
period for half an hOur in the
teacher's dining room.
Mr.Sterling is the teacher who
helps organize this club-. His
helpful assistant is Mr. Shore.
Christians in Action, which in
former years was called the Bible
Club, is student run. There is a
council of five people, who attend
executive meetings to p lan the
next meetings. They are: Judi
Van Staalduinen, Nancy Kerwin,
Merilyn Prior, Gerald Ritskes and
Lois Fox. Saturday night
meetings are held as well..
The members hope to invite
guest speakers, rent films frcim
World Wide Pictures, have open
forums, Saturday - night
excursions to other towns and
possibly an assembly within the
school where Jesus people from
the United States will be
interviewed by the students of the
student body.
There is a possibility of having
a Rock Concert later 'in the year to
which everyone is welcomed. For
these plans to work they need
sonte finances, so therefore some
l'Und raising will be in order for
the 1975 - 76 ,year.
Mr. Sterling remarked, "The
really exciting thing about being a
Christian is Christian fellow-
ship". Already this year the club
has travelled to Ethel to hear a
Mennonite choir •of twenty-
voices. Judging frOm some of
their remarks they had a, very
enjoyable evening.. Mr. Sterling
said the club is trying to involve
as much music in its program as
possible because they feel they
really have "something to sing
about". They have several good
pianists -in the .group.
Recently there was a film from
World Wide Pictures at the
.Wingham Bible Chapel. It was
similar to the movie "Time to
Run", which was truly inspiring.
"Isn't it Good to Know" with
Billy Graham was enjoyed by all
who attended. Remember that
anyone is welCome to their
regular meetings or their
Saturday night 'excursions.
