Pocock's message was based on the Gospel for the day. Jesus, at the wedding in Cana, turned water into wine bringing happiness to an already lylppy occasion. This is Jes .,f first miracle and Johniees it as a sign. rt can point to .)esus himself saying he- is the "best wine" of humanity or it can say that Christian faith changes the Church Shepherd to lead us to God and to give us security. In John Chapter 10, Ch-ist presented Iliinself to us as the One who can meet those needs. - Ile is also the Good Shepherd. His primary care is the safety of each sheep, and so it was that He gave His life for our salvation, He knows His sheep perfectly and they must learn to recognize His voice, for their lives depend on responding to it.

The workshop for Mid- dlesex County will be held Thursday, February 3rd, 1983 at the Ramada Inn, Hwy: 401 Revival Centre news Rev. George Glover, leader of Hamilton Teen Challenge, Sunday morning told how Teen Challenge started under the guidance of David Wilker- son, working with the New York City gangs. Today the ministry works with rehabilitating drug addicts and alcoholics, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Teen Challenge members presented a skit, "Slot Machines - Answer to life?" With several members lined up, with one arm raised, personifying slot machines, one member tried each one out, looking for life's answers. Each 'machine' responded with his version of answer to life. There was rock and roll, food, drugs, and homosexuali ty. Finally last one gave him the real answer - Jesus Christ, the One who can set him free from wrong desires. He then led him in praying thesinners prayer. Rev. Glover introduced Ian Jones, a graduate of Teen Challenge. He was a drug ad- dict for 12 years, an alcoholic, stealing, without hope. He found a tract giving the plan of salvation. After he ac- cepted the Lord, he started a Christian coffeehouse, But he fell away for seven years, un- til he found Teen Challenge. Paul Hugh, praised God for delivering him from drugs and alcohol. In high school he was so paranoid he was afraid to go into the classroom, while on LSD. This led him to other drugs. He found the guys he was hanging around with were no help to him. He knew about Jesus Christ from Sun- day School. Accompanied by two members playing guitars, and one on piano, they sang Show me the Way, and Every Day Give Him Thanks. Rev, Glover said it is easy to give God thanks in the good times, while we should thank Him in the hard times for caring for us. He told that Hamilton is the centre for -Teen Challenge in Canada. There young men are trained to help others. The streets and high schools are the mission fields. They have 150 members now ready for training. The group hopes to buy property north of Toron- to for training quarters. Spon- sors are needed for tile students. Rev. Glover spoke from Luke 4:4, and Mark 4:19. His theme was really knowing God, obeying Him, so that we can minister to needs of others. He warned the effects of listening and looking at bad movies, as well as bad adver- tising can warp even the minds of Christians. Only those who mean to do business with God will find true happiness, and deliverance from these snares the devil sends our way. Sunday evening, John Breokes, Christipnview Bible College student, led the song service. Mrs. Martha Butler, sang Shepherd of Love. Rev. C. J. Williams ministered from Ephesians 2:1-9, and 1 Corinthians 7:17-24, stating no man comes to Christ except by the drawing power of God. . What we received from God in salvation came from God, not by our works. What we us- ed to be or have is nothing unless it is by the grace of God.
