Dave Wood Huron Chapel Evangelical Missionary Church Time flies when you're having fun! At least that is the way the say- ing goes. My goodness, 2002 is already upon us so we sure must be having fun! I remember years ago how futuristic the year 1999 was and now here we are living in the 2000s. A modem age. An advanced socie- ty with gizmos and gadgets for near- ly everything under the sun and yet why can't they develop something that would help us understand all the things they developed? Sometimes it almost feels like you L. Barbour hosts WUCC Brussels Evening Unit of the WUCC met Wednesday, Jan. 9 at the home of Laura Barbour. The program was under her lead- ership. Different readings were given by Nelva Scott, Betty Campbell and Mrs. Barbour. Scripture was from Matthew 12: 8-15. President Gertie.Kellington wel- comed everyone and thanked the hostess. She read a poem, What is a Home? - Thanks was given to the ladies who made shut-in boxes. World Day of Prayer is March 1 at the United Church. All churches take part. The annual meeting of Huron and Perth Presbytery is on Feb. 11 with a snow date of Feb. 25. It is to be held at Brussels. The hot luncheon is March 21 in the church basement. January 20: "New Wineskins for the Bridegroom's Friends" 9:30 a.m. - Sunday School for all ages, 10:30 a.m. - Worship at Blyth Public School, corner of King & Mill Pastor: Ernest Dow 523-4848 www.tcc.on.cal-dowfam are getting left behind as so many new challenges are being presented. It can prove to be overwhelming, and a little cabin deep in the forest sounds more and more appealing. Yet where would we be if we did not face challenges in our lives? For they do come in a.tl shapes and sizes and they can even appear on both sides of you but they serve to stretch you and expand your horizons as you are faced with new possibilities. This is the way God is! He contin- ues even in this "modem" age to stretch our horizons and challenge our limited understanding. Just when we think we have all the answers, someone goes and changes the question. For years, the church thought they had a monopoly on God and wrapped Him up in a nice little package but He proved to be a little too big for the box. Consider the eternal, the seeming- ly endless universe and the existence of all that is. Can the Creator of all that is be confined to our limited understanding and wrapped up in a nice little package? When Jesus came to His own He revealed to them the limitations of their thinking. They had done up the package and had dotted all the Is and crossed all the Ts only to find out that when it comes to God, there are no limits. Jesus came and showed their belief that God's divine spirit is in everyone. From its early days, women were treated as equals and took active leadership roles in Quaker meetings and organizations. The local group meets on Sundays and, following a period of singing, they settle into a silent meeting for worship. Members may be led to share spoken ministry during the meeting for worship. There is an age appropriate pro- gram for children during this time. There is no paid clergy and very lit-. tle hierarchy in Quaker organization. the unthinkable. He came and lived the impossible and He came and did the unbelievable. God the Son entered time and space and became man! Talk about stretching! He walked among men, loved them and showed them their worth and to top it all off, died for them to prove it. Religion put Him in a box but He was bigger. Science and technology seeks to dis- own Him but the Infinite cannot be measured. Today, even in the year 2002 Jesus continues to challenge lives and His message has not changed and the content does remain for His Father so loved the world that He was sent so that whoever would believe in Him would not perish but have ever- lasting life! In an age where information over- load bombards our senses, consider Jesus whose message has not changed and allow Him to stretch and challenge you. 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 The Lucknow Worship Group, County area, has moved its Sunday which serves Quakers in the south- meeting site from the Bluevale area em Bruce and northern Huron to the Lucknow area. Area Quakers will gather on the second and fourth Sunday of each month at the farm of Fran and Tony McQuail for singing, silent meeting for worship and fel- lowship. McQuail says visitors and seekers are welcome to attend.
