far service
Today's service had .a
most unusual getting. We
were invited back in time to
the days when the early
Christians Were . under
severe 'persecution and
forced to meet secretly to
give praise and thanks to
God.
We experiepced, in part,
what it must have been like,
as we gathereel, together in
the dark' basement, lit with
candles, bringing only
ourselves and the gifts we
each had to offer up in
praise. The children tested
parents and adults alike to
see if they were Christians
using the sign of the "fish"
or the Greek letter "X" for
Christ.
As taken from Acts we
joined in learning,
fellowship, breaking of
Bread and prayers. The
Eucharist took on a very
special meaning as each
person administered the
"elements" to his neighbour.
A brief examination of the
story of the. "Good
Samaritan" brought home
very forcefully the message
of losing your neighbour.
As we. remembered the
suffering of the early
Christians we were
reminded today there are
still many who are not free.
Spontaneous and joyful
music was provided by
Penny Hodgins and Rev.
Bruce Pocock, on guitars
with the congregation
joining in.
The service was designed
to help us in trusting one
another and working
together and to celebrate the
joy of being Christians who
are free because of God's
great love for us and the gift
of His Son, our Lord and
Saviour,
Upcoming at Holy Trinity:
The Fall synod of the
Diocese of Huron meets, on
Saturday, November 15 at

Henry announced to the

practising for the Christmas
Program for December 7,
Mi., Davies spoke from
Corinthians which tells els
how to be ministers for God,
Some ways we need to use
are patience, pureness,
knowledge, and kindness,
with love by the Holy Spirit,
The Holy Spirit is a Person,
who is the source of personal
spiritual power, who gives us
wisdoen for which we need
only ak.
The greatest unused force
is love unfeigned. Loving
'someone who hates you,
treating someone with
kindness, will show people
you are Christ's disciple. The
least used Christian weapon
is the word of truth, The
devil brings contentions into
our lives, causing family
problems.

companied by Mr. Lorraine
Armitage on piano, played

Ken also- read from 1.
Corinthians 13:1-8 the
chapter on love. Many times
'we can envy someone who
has more than we do,
although the Bible says love
flea pride in life leeks
„does _not envy: A person
love. Whoevel. turns God out
of his life 'shows rudeness to
God. Many times We show
rudeness tp our family and
others. But love is never
rude. Trying to promote
ourselves is self-seeking
which love does not do.
Anger is not of God, as there
is no love in anger. There is
no,love in doing evil.
