Two bus tours were an- nounced, a colour tour in October 'and one to Jack Church news At the Revival Centre Sunday morning service Rev. Ray Brewster was in charge. Children's Church presented a puppet play under the leadership of Judy Henry. They had a backdrop set up on the platform, behind which Judy Henry and the children used their puppets to tell of the work being done in the Children's Church, they sang "Hosanna to the King." They did a fine job using their puppets. Rev. Brewster spoke from Matthew 11:25-30, saying people today struggle under both physical and spiritual pressure. They need to leave the sins and problems that burden and weary them and come to Jesus Christ who will give them spiritual rest, which can lead to physical rest. Praise turns our attention away from the problems and turns us to Jesus. His yoke is easy and His burden light, ,and walking under His authority will give us rest from our situations. Evening Service Rev. Rays Brewster led in chorus singing at start of the evening service. The Singing Canadians ministered in song and music. Leader Bob White told how he ran away from a Christian home to live what he thought was a life of freedom. After losing his job he realized he was not free, but bound in trouble and a life of sin. Then he felt the love of God so much he accepted God's forgiveness, and returned to his family. Lucan United Church "How to Live the Suc- cessful Christian Life, as God Intended it to be Lived" was the continuing theme for the Sunday service in Lucan United Church. While we have got away from God and find ourselves shipwrecked by our own failings it is possible, with God's help, to return to His way of life, said Mr. Brown. Because of sin in the world our way is often obscured but we can find our way through the maze of life if we let God lead us, following the light of the words given in the Bible. At times we can only see one step ahead but as we go forward with Christ, our way is lighted as we progress through life. To be successful Christians we must use the Bible as our guide book and God as our Guide, He promises to instruct us in the way we should go and we can depend on Him for guidance, today, tomorrow and all the tomorrows ahead of us.
