Elwood Morden con- ducted the morning worship and chaired the annual congregational meeting on February 1. Continuing with the last of a series on Worship, the minister entitled his sermon "Reminders in Worship". We are reminded that God cares. We must all suffer thewounds of bereavement, tragedies, and difficulties that we experience . Here are some reminders to help us as we come to church. (1) The Cross, as we see the Cross we remember Jesus and the Sacrifice he made for us. (2) The Baptismal Font, we are reminded that it was here our parents pledged to bring us up with a Faith in God. (3) The Communion Table, this will remind you that the Spirit of God comes to us through the Com- munion Elements. (4) The Bible. Look at the Holy Bible and remember the stories of the people in it. (5) The Pulpit, this is a reminder that God speaks to us through the Pulpit. At St. Thomas Anglican Church, the Rev. Greg Smith was in charge of the morning prayer service. The first Lesson was read by Miss Marion Herbert, and Jim Hodgins read the second. Rev.

At Granton Community Bible _Church, Pastor Glen Fretz entitled his message You can't get to Heaven in a Hot Air Balloon.
