Anglican congregations combine Communion The congregations of St. James and Holy Trinity joined together in the service of Holy Communion at St. James, Clandeboye, on the fifth Sunday in Trinity. The celebrant was the Ven. Archdeacon Roy Beynon of St. John's Arva. He celebrates the 50th an- niversary of his ordination this year, which took place in St. Paul's Cathedral, Lon- don, England. Prior to his coming to Canada he spent 16 years serving the Church in India. The New Testament lessons was read by Tom Tomes. The Homily was based on the Gospel of St. Luke 5:1-11. It should be noted, that we are here confronted with a turning point in the Synagogue: now He is at the lakeside. Soon the Synagogue will be closed to Him and His Church will be the lakeside and His pulpit a boat. In this story there is what we might call a list of the conditions of a miracle. 1 - There is the eye that sees (recognition) 2- There is the spirit that will make an effort. If Jesus said it, tired as he was, Peter was prepared to try agian. For most people the disaster of life is that they give up just one effort too soon. 3- There is the spirit which will at- tempt what seems hopeless. All the circumstances were unfavourable, but Peter says, "Let the cir- cumstances be what - they may, if you say so, we will try again." Too often we wait because the time is not op- portune. If we wait for a perfect set of circumstances we will never begin all. If we want a miracle we must take Jesus at His word w he bids us attempt the ::: ble. Weare called bemenand women whose sen - sensibilities are attuned to recognize the work of God when it happens, whether in ourselves, in another, in a parish, or in the world.

Judi gave the attendance record for the school at just over 160, with average attendance being 103, and 41 children had perfect attendance. The offerings the children brought came to just over 200 dollars, all of which is to go towards building a school in Haiti. While an offering was taken for the schools ex- penses, slides of the 'recent Haitian trip were shown. Led by BeckyBrewsterwith the nursery class, the children paraded into the church. The animal puppets choir joyfully led the group in "We're ok Kids." The nursery class recited "Rock a Bye Baby Jesus," followed with Scripture actions. Holding heart cutouts in front of their faces, they sang "Yhs I Love Jesus." Judi introduced all the class helpers and teachers, as they were given a flower corsage.

The class sang the story as they Two calls for area firemen The Lucan fire depart- ment responded to two calls this week. The first Tuesday afternoon when a fire at the sanitary land fill site had to be extinguished and the se- cond Friday afternoon to the farm of Harry Knip, Mooresville. It was thought a spark from a converted flatbed truck in use in harvesting a wheatfield, might have started the fire which destroyed approximately 30 acres of wheat on the Knip farm. This represents months of work but thanks to the "super job" done by the firefighters from Lucan, Exeter and Granton, the fast-moving blaze was prevented from spreading to nearby crops.

The junior class, led the audience in talking the story of being a Good Neighbour in the Good Samitarian. As they acted out and told the story with fervor, the audience echoed the lines. The Middler Class of Geri Fletcher and Barb Sloetjes, used printed signs as they told the story of God's free gift, salvation. They sang "Jesus Loves Even Me." Two of the Youth Class, dressed as Abraham and Sarah, told their story going up aisle jorney. Their teacher, Mary Bies, sang "You're My Child," and as another couple, as Isaac and Rebekah, came down the aisle, they told their story. The four sang " A New Day." Between class presen- tations, Judi led everyone in a V.B.S. song. There was enough in the evening of- fering combined with the participating churchs' donations to cover the costof all the supplies for a very successful Lucan Com- munity Vacation Bible School. Judith Henry thanked all who helped make the school a success. Revival Centre Tuesday evening, for Family NIght, Rev. Callahan, from Fresno, Calif., spoke from James 5:16, and Romans 10:17 regarding choosing a new pastor. The church needs to be of a neutral mincj, making no movement4hile Iii an emotional state,tie sure God says yes or no or wait. When the neutral position produces a right desire in the church, then compare our prayers with the scriptures. Stewards lead United service The committee of Stewards was in charge of the service at Lucan United Church Sunday, during the vacation of Rev. Keith Brown. The chairman, Wes Stanley brought the message, speaking on the Revelation of John. He said that many people don't bother to read this Book thinking it is too com- plicated. However, taken, slowly, verse by verse, recognizing the many symbols, Of the three spirtual states pointed out, hot and cold and luke warm, Christ prefers either of the first two and Paul is the best example of a change from cold to hot. Unfortunately many Christian are lukewarm, having an interest in the things of God, but falling short of a true testimony for Him. Wes concluded his message asking the questions "Is Christ knocking at the door of our hearts, of our Church today? Do we invite Him in? He will remain on the outside until invited in and we are the ones who must open the door." Next Sunday, July 26, the service will be in charge of the Clandeboye Sunday School. Everyone is urged to come and support these t young people as they worship. If God has truly spoken, He will give a signal from outside, to affirm His will. To obtain God's divine timing, the church needs to pray until there is divine peace. Sunday morning Rev..and Mrs. Elvin Tborton, on holiday from their church in St. Petersburg, Florida ministered in singing "Win the Lost At Any Cost." Judith Henry gave a report on the Community Vacation Bible School, which con- cluded Friday evening. Rev. Ray Brewster spoke from Psalm 56:1-9, saying when things do not work out as you think in our Christian walk, the statement David made in verse 9 of "This I know, God is for me," is basic truth. Knowing this truth, having a positive attitude can make us come through in victory. Because God is for us He is concerned when we know the truth that God is for us, we do not have to defend our- selves as God will do it for us. When we fail, instead of looking at ourselves in depression o r discouragement, look to Jesus, and praise Him to be lifted up in spirit, as God is for us. Gary Schlegel led the singing for the evening service. Rev. Ray Brewster ministered from Matthew 18:15-20. Our prayer is what releases the power of God. There is no limit to God's power. Only our minds limits the results. One of the principles of prayer is harmony with other Christians. Harmony must be in our living, peace with one another, and being in accord in the Holy Spirit. This takes self denial. It has to be not our will, but God's will be done • Upcoming events-- July 26, Sunday, Rev, and Mrs. L.J. Wood, and their children, missionaries to Haiti, where he school is being built, will be guests for both services. times -Advocate, July 22, 1981 Page 15 Big battle between two local clubs The long awaited clash between the two Lucan atom soccer teams lived up to ex- pectations with some thrill- ing end to end soccer.
