The snow sculptures turned out to be quite a contest, with Peter Pera and a friend making Jonah's Whale that was awarded a winner.

Joan Cochrane, playing her guitar, sang "Whisper Jesus", and Harold Fletcher played his guitar while his wife Geri and he led the Junior church in singing "John 3:16". Rev. Brewster ministered from John 14: 15-19 saying the Holy Spirit is constantly br,inging people into fellowship with God. God is bringing people into the reality of living because Jesus lives. At the start of the evening service Loys Melanson played her guitar as she sang "Revive Us Again". Rev. Ray Brewster, speaking from John 4: 23, told how, when we praise God, vic- tories are won through our praise and prayers. Because there is power in praise the devil will try to stop us from praising God. We need to live a life that speaks praise and worship to God. Acts 16: 25- 34 tells what victory can happen when people praise God even in bad cir- cumstances.

Lunch was served by Honor Stanley, during which members discussed what the word "disabled" meant to them. United church At Lucan United Church Sunday, the Rev. Keith Brown spoke on the subject, "Jesus: God's answer to Despair", giving various examples of dispair found daily in the newspaper. However, through God, there is help. Jesus has provided hope for the hopeless. "There is a solution to every problem - that which is impossible with man is possible with God." said Mr. Borwn. Peter cried "Lord Save me" and in spite of his lack of faith, Jesus did save him. The Disciples cried out "Master, don't You care (that we perish" and Jesus replied "Why are you so fearful, why do you have so little faith?", but He calmed the waves. This attitude, the lack of faith, is still very prevalent today. UPCOMING: The Com- mittee of Stewards meeting is changed front the first to the third Tuesday hen- ceforth.
