A beautiful Christmas cactus was given by the Campbell family in memory of Douglas Campbell. John Stoll lit the first Advent candle while Mary Stoll gave a reading on Jesus is the light of the world and He is coming soon. Pastor Came's message ‘Perfect Submission’ was taken from Eph­ esians 5: 21-33 and Ephesians 6: 1- 4. In Fanny Crosby's hymn ‘perfect submission, perfect delight’ reveals there is no freedom without sub­ mission. We are either a slave to sin and Satan or a slave to God and His righteousness. A double-mind­ ed man is unstable. The choice is the way of Christ or the way of the world. A Christian's choice is my way or Christ's way. Perfect submission, happy and blest! The gospel of Jesus Christ is about submission, consecration is the key to a fullness in life.

In an action report to the board, it was noted that four companies had submitted bids, according to the specifications developed by the board's consulting architects, Kyles, Garret, Marklevitz. Bids were open in a public session after 3 p.m., November 25. Individual submissions are being evaluated at this time. Director of Education Bob Allan, told the board that in all of the cases, the tendered amount exceeds the total budgeted ambunt of $138,000. The consulting architect, he said, has been asked to evaluate the submissions to confirm the qualifications. Mr. Allan said that while it was not unusual not to accept tenders because they are high, the board is in a delicate situation because they can be ordered to go ahead with the asbestos removal. Paul Carroll, the superintendent of operations noted that the board is facing a deadline to spend the allo­ cation. A final report must be sub­ mitted to the ministry by February 4, 1992, complete with invoices and reports on the finished project. A recommendation authorizing administration to accept tender rec­ ommendations on the board's in the matter of asbestos removal under the Ministry of Education funded Anti-Recession Program in a man­ ner that falls within budgetary guidelines established in the 1991 estimates was carried. taiion of the birth of Christ using people of the congregation.
