Various ladies ti Revival Centre Sunday morning Rev. Ray Brewster conducted the service at the Revival Centre. An Easter bunny (Mike O'Neil) came boun- ding down the aisle happy that he was an Easter bunny. Then he became sad that he was an Easter bunny bringing joy only once a year. An Easter egg (Rev roger Mason) came in to tell :film the joy of Easter was for time, because Jesus gives the joy. The egg told the bunny how to accept Jesus Christ to have this joy. After the bunny did so, he went out rejoicing. Rev. Brewster sang "Peace in the Midst of the Storm." He then ministered from Mark 4:35-41, saying all of us have been in storms of life in the winds of adversity. In this storm on the Sea of Galilee the disciples did not trust the power of Jesus until He calmed the storm. As Jesus overcame and calmed the storm, He can give us peace and victory to over- come when we trust in Him. Sunday evening Rick Thornton led the song ser- vice. The Dr. Tim LaHaye film on Marital Happiness was shown. Dr. LaHaye told that two people with a vital relationship with God will enjoy their relationship more with each other. Most stressful occurrence is the death of a spouse, then a divorce, then marital separation. Keys to marital happiness are found in God's word. Key one is emotional maturity in Phillippians 2:3-4. being unselfishness. Key two is submission by wife to husband as unto the Lord Eph 5:22-24. Key three is love -- for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church Eph 5:25-33. A Christian husband will love his wife, and transform his marriage in love. Key four is communication -- by planning good times; never discuss negative things or finances at night, never argue; commit problems to God. as in Eph 4:15. Key five is prayer -- pray together as in Matthew 18:19-20, as prayer changes things. Key six is Jesus Christ as without flim we can do nothing. We pray in Jesus' name. We need His power to do good. Jesus cannot be in your home unless He is in your life and He can only come in when invited.

Greeting worshippers were Eileen and Clarence Ilaskett, and lesson readers were Jim Shipley and Kay Egan. The sermon given by Rev. Pocock was based on the readings of the day. Thomas, was the doubting disciple and insisted that unless he saw Jesus himself he would not believe that He had risen from the dead even thoush the other disciples told him that they had seen Him. Are we not like Thomas - unless we actually see something we doubt. Doubt is the companion of fear. Fear overcame the disciples following the crucifixion and they were in hiding. When Jesus appeared to them and they knew that He indeed was the Risen Christ their fears vanished and they came forth to proclaim Him. Our fears make us doubt and the world we live in is full of fearful happenings, but as believers in Christ we are called "to be in the world, but not of it." Faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ will protect us from all worldly fears. Upcoming events ' Upcoming events: Each Tuesday evening, 8 p.m. Bible Study at Rectory Thursday April 30 A.C.W.

Keith Brown completed the series on the "Words from the Crass" using "The word of Com- mittal" based on Luke 23.46 "Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit" are words of prayer. of peace which He experienced and a pattern He set. Jesus began his ministry in prayer. He prayed all through His ministry and He concluded His earthly ministry with prayer. Close communion with God is necessary for the real peace that Jesus ex perienced as he died on the cross. It was based on the love and trust He had for His Father. Those at the cross were greatly affected by the death of Jesus. The magnet of the cross had begun its work. The flowers in the Sanc- tuary were from the funeral of the late Mrs. Corrie Van Meer and the prayers of the congregation are extended to her loved ones.

Shown ready to leave for the return trip to Granton are Beulah Storey, Bobby Maslen, Peter Bakker and Lana O'Leary. T -A photo Tuesday evening the Women's Auxilary of the Lucan Revival Centre held their monthly meeting in the Fellowship Hall of the church, with husbands and young people present. Bruce Shaw opened the meeting by leading in chorus singing. Ed and Anneliea Butler showed the slides from their trip to Israel, giving highlights of the trip. Their plane would not fly over Israel due to danger, and landed in Amman Jordan. Many were shocked to see a guard with a machine gun guarding them as they embarked from the plane. They found the Arabs very hostile, doing much yelling, and quite disorganized. They drive Mercedes, and Volvos. Going across the border to Israel the customs took six hours. The reason for the Arabs hostility is that after the six day war the Jews bulldozed down all the houses and the Arabs were left with nothing to return to. Before that the Jews were buying the land and houses from the Arabs as much as they could. The Jews are learning to fight, are quite organized and they will not give up their land now, as they feel God gave it to them. The slides showed the land as it is now, as well as ruins showing how it was back to the time of Christ. It was a very informative evening seeing the land in pictures.
