Sunday morning Rev. Ray
Brewster spoke from Rev : 3:
7-13 on the message to the
church of today,
Philadelphia. God always
has a message for His
people. God told this church
that they were doing well,
but to move on in the Lord.
Many people hear God
speaking to them through a
servant of God, then do not
do what verse 13 says,to hear
what God says to the
churches.

Doug Butler led the

service. Loys Melanson

"Stand Firm in God". Rev.
Howlett, of the Canadian
learning
for Lent
Iola Goring was hostess
for Lucan United Church
Women's second session of
Learning for Lent at the
church Wednesday. She in-
troduced Sue Hasket.t who
spoke briefly on principles of
Interior Design. then focuss-
ed on methods of window
treatment.
Sue explained the impor-
tance of suiting curtains and
drapes to the type of room
and furniture, and had many
practical suggestions regar-
ding fabric choice and colour
co-ordination.
Following coffee and con-
versation. Rev. Bruce
Pocock. Phyllis O'Neil and
Marion Hodgins from Holy
Trinity Anglican Church
continued the Journeys of
Faith Bible Study. They
chose three significant in-
cidents from Mary's
"Journey".
Phyllis dealt with the
angel's announcement that
Mary was chosen to be the
mother of God's Son.
Although at first Mary ex-
pressed alarm and doubt,
her final response was one of
faith and commitment to
God's call. regardless of the
cost.
Marion Hodgins continued
by considering Mary's time
of testing. when having
come with some of her fami-
ly to see her Son, she was ap-
parently rejected.
Christians who take a stand
for Christ today often face
this same problem of rejec-
tions by family or friends.
This can be part of the cost
of being a Christian for those
who choose to obey Christ as
well as to profess Him.
Mr. Pocock concluded the
study by speaking of Mary's
experience at the Cross.
When Jesus committed
Mary to the apostle John. He
was reaching out to assure
her of His love and care.
At this painful time of her
life, Mary realized that she
was fully accepted by her
Son. Likewise. we today find
full acceptance at the Cross
through Christ's forgiving
love. and when we are open
to Him. experience the true
meaning of GRACE - Great
Riches At Christ's Expense.
There is no Learning for
Lent this week during
Winter Break, but the series
will resume April 1.
Bible Society, showed a film
showing the work in Haiti.
Scripture portions for
Haiti, in Creole, are usually
printed in Canada, then
shipped to Haiti. As the
poverty in Haiti is so deep,
the Scriptures are
distributed to the Haitians
leas than cost, or free.
About 80 percent of the
people cannot read. Chur-
ches' schools teach the
people how to read using
Scripture portions,
beautifully illustrated,
supplied by the Bible
Society.
The land is so dry in Haiti,
the people walk miles for
water from a spring. The
people are as thirsty for
God's word there as for
water, .
Rev. Ray Brewster, spoke
from Rom. 10: 13-14 of
sending preachers to tell
others how to be saved.
When we give to those who
do the Lord's work we give to
God. By helping others go to
foreign lands we can all be
missionaries.
Rev. Brewster told of a
church in Haiti that is
building a • school. Rev.
Brewster and Rev. and Mrs.
Roger Mason plan to go to
Haiti in June to help build
this school. Rev. Brewster
showed slides of their winter
trip to Haiti, of this church,
and the land and crowded
cities there. Rev. Brewster
hopes that 20 people will go
to Haiti.
The men will help build the
school during the day, and
help in church services in
evenings. The ladies will
help in Vacation Bible
Schools. Anyone wishing to
go or help financially can
contact Rev. Brewster.

Friendship Unit
The Friendship Unit of
Lucan United Church
Women held their regular
March meeting Wednesday
evening at the Church.
Shirley Ryan set the tone for
the evening with the opening
worship.
A number of visitors were
present to hear Rev. Roger
Mason tell of his recent trip
to Haiti. Kit Hearn in-
troduced Roger as a former
pupil, and expressed ap-
preciation for the significant
work he is doing now at the
Bible College in Ailsa Craig.
Roger began by giving the
group a summary of Haiti's
troubled history, and
referred to the present cor-
ruption in government which
greatly hinders Haiti's
progress asd a nation. He
spoke of his reactions to the
extreme poverty he en-
countered. and expressed
concern about the lack of
training of many Haitian
pastors. Illiteracy and dis-
ease are two other major
problems in Haiti today.
Roger showed slides il-
lustrating the poverty of the
land, and some of the Chris-
tian relief enterprises that
are underway. He hopes to
return to Haiti in June as
part of a team of twelve to
build a Christian school
which will provide basic
education for the children of

Rev. Brown continues Lent series
At the Lucan United
Church, Sunday, Rev. Keith
Brown continued the Lenten
series on the "Words from
the Cross" based on Matt.
27: 39-49, "The Word of
Desolation".
There were three factors
in these words, said Mr.
Brown "no cry was ever so
filled with desolation,
separation from God, and
substitution for our sins.
He had been forsaken
numerous times, by His
family, His community, His
disciples, but His Father had
always been with Him. This,
however was not "'eternal"
forsaking, as is the case with
those who reject God. The
door is always open for us to
come to God as Jesus ac-
cepted all the sins of the
world when He died on the
cress to set us free. He took
our punishment, our place
and suffered for our sins.
These words express faith
and trust as God stands close
to those who call our "My
God".
It was at this moment that
the veil of the temple was
rent in two and no longer did
anyone need a priest or
minister to intercede with
God for him.
"He bore your sins and
mine and gave His life to be
our Saviour for now and for
eternity" concluded Mr.
Brown.
Dorothy Dedels gathered
the children at the front of
the church for a delightful
story on "Trust" before
taking them out for Junior
If your car's
out of shape
you get rid of it,
right? What If
your body's
