Times-Advocate, 1983-06-29, Page 12Page 12 Times -Advocate, June 29, 1983 Vilia opening set for Saturda Saturday, July 2nd, bet- ween 1 and 4 p.m. "The Villa of Lucan" a retirement home, will officially open its doors to the general public for a grand opening viewing. "The Villa", located at 139 Main Street, Lucan, offers a concept in re4. rement living that is unique to Lucan. It is a large and spacious home with a variety of accommoda- tions, convenience setrvices, indoor and outdoor activities, and downtown services at your doorstep. Why are people looking for "The Villa's" type of.retire- ment? Perhaps because they have for too long, had to cope with the chore of maintaining homes which have become too big and too empty. Some people would prefer not to be burdened by the responsibili- ty of housekeeping, laundry and meal preparation and some are not able anymore. "The Villa" recognized this need and has therefore created this home, remaining in one's own environment, providing three meals a day, various snack times, housekeeping, laundry and supervision service. "The Villa" encourages residents to make our home their home by bringing their own precious furnishings. Twenty-four hour supervi- sion care is provided with a registered nurse on twenty- four hour call. Those residents who enjoy physical activities, par- ' ticipate in bazaars, bingos, bowling or group meeting, may be as active as they desire as Lucan's community is at their doorstep. , Ribbon cutting ceremonies will be performed on opening day between 2:30 and 3:00 p.m. Plan Bible School An all-new exciting Iwo - gram has been prepared by Lucan Churches for Vacation Bible School to be held July 11 through July 22.

Familiar bell The familiar sound of the church bell summoned former and regular wor- shipers and friends of Holy Trinity Anglican Church to a special service celebrating the 75th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone. Mr. A. R. Wilkinson, one of our senior members, and a faithful custodian for many years, was on hand to ring the bell. The service, conducted by the rector, Rev. Bruce Pocock, included portions of the anniversary service for the laying of the cornerstone, June 24, 1908. They included the psalm, hymns and some. of the prayers. . Greeters and sidespeople were Bill Haskett, Brian Ankers, Carol Hardy and Michael Scott. Reading the lessons were Norah Elson and Marion Hodgins. Special music under the direction of Beaulah Hardy added to the beauty of the ser- vice. The junior choir's an- them was entitled "Above the Clear Blue Sky" and the senior choir's "Lift up Thine Eyes." Soloist Wendy Hardy, sang "The Holy City." Rev. Pocock based his ser- mon on Psalm 127, "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain." The job of building the church is never complete - it is an on-going process which brings people into the com- munity to live as God's peo- ple. What God desires most of all is love of our hearts and the service of our lives. The function of the Church is to tell forth the excellencies of God. That is to say, it is to witness to men concerning the mighty acts of God through Jesus Christ His Son. At the conclusion of the ser- vice, all moved to the Com- munity Centre for a hot buf- fet luncheon, fellowship and a program. Many friends from the churches in the village and surrounding area joined us for the meal and helped us to celebrate this occasion in the life of our church. Wm. Jacobi, guest speaker, from Toronto, gave a very humourous address on "Look- ing Ahead" to retirement, something we all need to reflect upon. Planning for retirement should begin now. sounds He stressed the fact that peo- ple should not be governed by what other people think they should be doing. Do what you want to do and enjoy your retirement. During the address, Judy and David Ross and 'helpers entertained the children. The highlight of the after- noon came when we were entertained by the "Canadian Fidlin' Fun and Step Dancing Champions," two very talented people who received a standing ovation. Master of ceremonies for the afternoon was chairman of the anniversary commit- tee, Allan Scott. Mrs. Evelyn DeCoursey, the first child baptized in the new ehurch, Feb. 14, 1909, was in atten- dance for the day. Before the conclusion of the day, tribute was given to Ferlin Sovereign for the beautiful sketch he made of the Church. It has been reproduced on hasti-notes.
