President Len Masien reported a total of ;7,759.15 to date, with a few more pledges to come in for the Family Ride. This represents a slight increase over last year's campaign. The Executive thanks everyone who participated in any way in making this 1981 campaign so successful. He gives much credit to the wonderful influence of Terry Fox. Mr. Maslen had attended,a Unit Board - of Directors meeting at Thameswood Lodge, where many subjects came under discussion, not only regarding the cam- paign, but also Service to Patients, in particular the Mastectomy Visiting Ser - vice. The two doctors on the Unit executive would like the visitors, Marg Cocquyt and Audrey Harloff, to see the patients prior to their surgery and hopefully this will become a fact. The beginnings of the Lucan Branch, following mini -canvasses by Institute members, was given by Len Maslen. The first president when the Branch was organized in 1957, was M.H. Hodgins, Vice-president Marion Sovereign, secretary, Mary Prest. The contributions must have been sent directly to the unit as no treasurer was mentioned in the year of organization.

Come to VISIT OTTAWA Murray and Iva Ilodgins enjoyed a weekend motor trip to Ottawa to visit her brother and his wife, Charlie and Netta Law. and their family. On the return trip they came home via Peterborough and visited with Murray's brother and his wife, Bruce and Afuriel Hodgins. United Church Frank and Iola Goring, assisted by Bonnie and Carol Joyce welcomed wor- shippers as they arrived for morning service at Lucan United Church, Sunday. As he continued his series on the Parables, Rev. Brown commented, "The parable of the Good Samaritan illustrates the hurting needy world in which we live today." Mary are victims of the ravages of war and famine. Some have been robbed by parental failure, or by their enslavement to harmful habits. Some are hurt by false teachings or by the un- christlike actions of so-called Christians. The parable illustrates also our varied responses to such needs, whether indifference and selfish concern, or that which Christ commended to His hearers - compassion which reaches out to help. Next Sunday, the Lucan congregation celebrates its 119th anniversary with Rev. Wes Oake of King St United Church as guest speaker. The U.C.W. will serve refreshments at a social hour following the service. All women are cordially invited to the General United Church Women's meeting Tuesday June 9, when Rev Glen Wright of White Oaks Community of Faith United Church is the guest.

Mrs. Joan Cochrane, playing her guitar, sang "Best of all You Promised to see me through", followed with "Come to the Waters." Mrs. Rutledge spoke about how we are chosen of God to be His children. When we accept Christ as our Saviour, we can come directly to the Father for our needs. God created us to have us for His companions. We can reject Him, and His greatest gift, Jesus Christ, while God still loves us. John 17:24 teus us Jesus wants God's children to be with Him. Mrs. Joan Cochrane sang "You and Me Together".

Sunday morning service Doug Butler sang for the morning service "Make Me an Instrument of Love". Rev Ray Brewster ministered from Rev. 3:7-13, concerning God's open and closed doors, that govern our lives. Christ has the authority to open and close doors in our lives, as our lives are not our own. God speaks to us in a still small voice, arranging circumstances before us, opening doors of opportunity for us when we are tuned to God's direction. Rev. Ray Brewster led the evening service. Doug Butler sang from Romans 8:38, "We Are Persuaded." Gary Schlegel spoke from Psalm 8:3-4 on how God has created the atmosphere and the earth so complex and great, while still caring for min. When man first sinned he lost close fellowship with God, and was born with a sin nature. Although God could have crushed sinful man, He sent His Son to die for him. God wants the sinful person to be reconciled to Him. For Upcoming Events Vacation Bible School – July 6 to July 17 in the Lucan Revival Centre.
