This is what "Mission" is all about and which can take many forms. This is why we are all "In Mission".

Dean read Isaiah 12:2-3 and said that being a Christian means to him having peace and joy. Wherever they travel they find people looking for joy everywhere but in God. God gives us many promises, with conditions. One is, to find the joy and peace of Jesus, one must be saved and another is to trust in God and not be afraid. When one trusts the Lord He gives that joy and peace. At the evening service, Rev. Rick Brewster led the singing accompanied by a group on stringed °in- struments, Lorna Minogue and one of her pupils, playing her guitar, while Lorna played piano, sang "Bless the Lord. Oh My Soul". They, with Rick Brewster, taught the congregation a new chorus and the choir, led by Mrs. Marlene Thornton, sang "How Great Thou Art". Rev. Ray Brewster spoke from Psalm 1 telling the story of two men who were once called boy preachers. Now one is an evangelist, while the other is a modern music entertainer. The evangelist has now a worldwide ministry serving God in joy. The other has achieved worldly success, but has lost all he earned in the world and is bound by drugs, This Psalm tells us the man is blessed who walks the way of the righteous, but who is ungodly shall perish, The first thrust of winter weather was responsible for at least seven of the nine accidents investigated this week by officers of the Ontario Provincial Police detachment at Lucan.
