Home My WebLink AboutTimes-Advocate, 1983-02-23, Page 5Celebrate birthday at Thames Road. By MRS. WILLIAM ROHDE The regular church service was held Sunday with a fair attendance. The children's story was entitled "Do You Believe It". The ,Scripture Lesson was read by Rev. Robert Matheson. At this time of year It•has become a tradition to wonder what we should give up for Lent., All too often our ex-'• ploration . oT ourselves to decide what to give up is, at , best, a half-hearted attempt. Just like New Year's resolu- tion Lenten abstinence is easy • •to think about but it is a dif- ficult act to maintain for any length of time. Just why do we speak of - giving something up for Lent? We need only to look at the meaning of the Cross to understand. Christ gave His life for our sake - how can we make our willingness to offer ourselves known to Him? Giving up personal bad habits, a good .idea at any time of year, is not really the kind of eziercise called for. during the Lenten season. If we succeed at giving up our personal bad habits we Channel Master ourselves are the real witness. Doing away with something bec6use of Lent, however, re- quires • that we be outward looking - answering our call to Christ by giving ourselves for the sake of others just as Christ has given of Himself for our sake. The issues we need to con- centrate on are the cultural and corporate sins which are • committed by one group of the world's -population against another. Rev.
