at United Church
The sanctuary . of Lucan
United Church was beautiful-
ly decorated with flowers as
pupils and teachers of the
Sunday School led in the an-
nual Flower Sunday service
at morning worship on
Sunday.
Members of Freeda Melan-
son's intermediate class were
on hand to welcome friends
before the service and later to
take up the offering. Those
participating were Debbie
Hall, Jane Holden, Sherrie
Smith, Eric Barr, Jeff Bond,
John R. MacDonald and Don-
ny Hugill.
Members of Wes Stanley's
senior class, Mindy Bates,
Brent Bannerman, Peter
Bates and Jamie Bond led in
prayers, and scripture
readings. Jane Holden played
the piano as the offering was
received.
"Where the Trouble Lies"
was the title of Barb Banner -
man's story for the boys and
girls. George learned that the
clock repair man needs the in-
sides of the clock in order to
make the hands go. Like wise,
we have to let God make our
hearts right before our hands
and feet can do His will.
Barb Coughlin's junior girls
sang a song, "Up, up, with
People" and assisted the con-
gregation in learning the
chorus.
Freeda Melanson spoke on
the theme "Consider Jesus."
When we fix our attention
upon Him and His sufferings
for us, we find a cure for
criticism, self satisfaction
and complaining.
She pointed out that the
Risen Christ is the centre of
all things. In Scripture we
find Him in the midst of the
.scholars, in the midst of sin-
ners and in the midst of the
Throne in Heaven as ruler.

New Anglican choir members
Morning Prayer was the
order of service at Itoly Trini-
ty Anglican Church on the 2nd
Sunday in Trinity. Warmly
welcoming friends and
members were Janet, Brian,
and Bradley Ankers.
Assisting in the service were
Kay Egan, reader of the Old
Testament lesson and Joyce
Sovereign reader of the New
Testament lesson.
Three new members were
installed into the Jr. Choir.
Choir Mothers, Kae Haskell
and Kay Egan presented their
white surplices to Joanne
Monger, Sharon Richardson,
and Debbie Molenkamp. The
choir sang a lovely new song
entitled "Come along with
me, to Jesus". The congrega•
tion were invited to sing along
to learn the words.
Rev. Pocock based his ser-
mon on the Gospel, Luke
7:36-8:3. This story, when
Jesus is invited to eat with one
of the Pharisees, tells of two
gifts for Jesus • one which
came from a shallow love and
the other from a deep love.
We have all fallen short of the
glory of God. it is only
through Jesus Christ that we
find our salvation. Are we, the
Church, walking testimonies
to Jesus love and power?
Would we welcome the
woman in the story into our
church and accept her as
Jesus did or would we rather
she go somewhere else?
