T A photo Clandeboye SS take charge of UC service The members and teachers of the Clandeboye Sunday School were in charge of the service at Lucan United Church on Sunday, the theme being "crntrage." Ruth Hardy opened the service and Cathy Lynn led in the Responsive Psalm and gave the Pastoral Prayer, while Cheryl Lynn read the Scripture Lessons and Bonnie Lynn the delightful children's story "Turtle Gets a Shell". The choir, under the direction of Winnie Robicheau, sang "Sometimes" and "The Master Hath Come". The offeratory Prayer was given by Gerry Lynn and the offering was received by Brad Scott and Philip Lynn. Gerry also led in a brief prayer, preceding the message and Philip pronounced the Benediction. Ruth Hardy brought the message speaking on "The Key to Courage" pointing out that it is not only the crises of life which demand courage, as a mother often needs courage to face her daily routine and a father may need the same courage from time to time to keep going to his job. Ruth said sometimes courage contains fear and a truly courageous person is cne who faces situations squarely, knowing the peril but is not daunted. "Fear is not from God". said Ruth, "Jesus came to destroy fear that paralyzes the mind and spirit ... He gave His life that we could live free from oppressive fear ... He is our courage". Ruth closed her renarks with the Explorer Prayer. Next Sunday Rev. Keith Brown will hav returned from vacation and will be taking .the services in Clandeboye Itnd Lucan, at 9:45 and 11:15 a.m. MURAL MAKERS — A number of Lucan Vacation Bible School students are shown with a recently constructed mural.

Munro Revival Centre news In the morning service Doug Butler and Martha Sullivan sang "I keep Falling in Love with Him," and "Here We are." Rev. Ray Brewster welcomed new members into the church fellowship. Martha Sullivan, Mike Armstrong, Doug Murray, Susan Bies, John and Bar- bara Sloetjes John and Heather Holland, David and Eleanor Kestle, and Gary Schlegel ,became new members. Rev. Brewster introduced Rev. L.J. Wood, missionary with . "World Reap", in Haiti. Rev. Brewster asked his son Stephen to present Rev. Wood with the collection from Lucan Community Vacation Bible School of $207 for the work in Haiti. Rev. Wood thanked those who went to Haiti to help with the work there in June. He spoke from Galations 6:7- 9 saying God has a law of sowing and reaping that affects every individual, whether saved or lost. We can use this law to our benefit, or to do us harm. We need to be sowing seeds of love if we wish to gain friendship. Because 55 percent of world population has not heard of God's plan of salvation, we have the responsibility of sowing seeds of God's word to help reach the world for Christ. Because God loved us while we were in sin, we need to show the same spirit of love to those who are not loveable with the right motive, love. Gary Schlegel led the singing for the evening service. Rev. L.J. Wood introduced his wife, Peggy before she sang "He Touched Me". Then Mrs. Wood taught and led the congregation in singing in Creole "In My Father's House." Rev. Wood said that Haiti is the poorest country in the world with wall to wall people in the cities. Illiteracy is 80 percent minimum wage is $2.20 per day. There are a few rich, but most are very poor. As the government is a dic- tatorship, no one dares speak or act against it. Because everything is imported into Haiti, except island grown food, all commodities are very ex- pensive. There are many beggars and cripples. Rev. and Mrs. Wood first went to Haiti in 1973, and moved there 2 years ago, without any support. Their needs were met by donations. Their work for "World Reap" entailed looking after accommodation and travel for visitng missionaries. They received money for special vehicles for Soccer teams win Lucan minor soccer teams were involved in an even dozen games this week of six victories and one tie. Lucan II atoms travelled to Grand Bend and came away with p 1-o win; .The only goal being scored by Brian Wessels in the first half. The Lucan forwards had many opportunities to in- crease the lead in the second half, however the centre half for Grand Bend played a very good Sweeper role and foiled all attacks. The Lucan defense played well, with Johnny Rudd, John Marshall and Robert Damen working very hard to assist goal keeper Steven Clark in obtaining the team's first shut out of the year. It was particularly pleasing to see so many parents at this game, giving much needed vocal support to the boys. Thank you and please keep coming. In the other atom game, the Lucan Cougars edged Ailsa Craig 2-1 as Eddie Van Kerkoerle and Chris Hewitt were the marksmen. Jason Miller booted the only goal as the Lucan Celtics blanked Exeter II 1-0 in squirt action.

With this equipment truck they started holding crusades in the provinces, where several people were . healed and saved. Rev. Wood mentioned that 95 percent of schools in Haiti are church sponsored and the few government schools' are only for the elite. Birth certificates are marked elite for the very rich, or peasant fortherest. The country is 90 percent voodoo and catholicism. Rev. Wood showed slides of the work and conditions in Haiti then distributed newsletters telling their work there • Anglican Prayers Morning Prayer was the order of service held at St. James Anglican Church, Clandeboye, on the sixth Sunday of Trinity Season. Trinity is the longest season in our Church and sym- bolizes growth. There is always more for us to become, always more room for us to grow as Christians. Bryan Smith and Andy VanGeel shared in leading the worship, and Mrs. Ruth Hill presided at the organ. The Old Testament lesson and the Gospel lessons were read by Bryan and the New Testament lesson by Andy. Bryan spoke to the children on the meaning of wisdom - that which Solomon asked God to give him in order to rule His people with justice. Solomon, indeed, was given great wisdom. The dictionary tells us that wisdom is a high degree of knowledge - a wise saying. Solomon wrote many wise sayings which can be found in the Book of Proverbs, a collection of moral and eligious teachings, much to do with practical,everyday concerns. There are thirty- one books of Proverbs, one book for each day of the month. To study these we would gain an abundance in wisdom God is the source of all wisdom, and if we ask for, and follow His guidance in our daily lives, then, He will bless us far more than we ever imagined • The children sang "Followe Me" with great joy and happiness. No wonder Jesus said "Yes; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?" Next Sunday, August 2, services will be at Holy Trinity, Lucan and all of August at 9 a.m. The Rector will be back from vacation and will officiate at the services.
