To complete Elm street The completion of the construction of Elm street and the beginning of similar work on Francis street are the road programs outlined by Lucan council for 1982. Village engineer Paul McIntyre told council Thursday night that the final work on Elm street would cost about $20,000, half of which is returned as subsidy and $9,000 for sidewalks. The latter work is not eligible for subsidy. McIntyre said the estimate on Francis street from Main street to Concession 4 was $132,000. He added, "We could start the engineering and probably due something with the sewers this year and phase the balance over the next, two or three years. We could spend $24,000 this year." Works superintendent Doug Johnston outlined considerable monies to be spent this year on the village water system. After considerable discussion regarding the present rates charged for water, council appointed deputy -reeve Norm Steeper and councillor Larry Hotson to review the water rates. There are 554 domestic household users in the village who pay $5 per month for -their supply of water. Council gave permission to Canada Unity to pack a mobile vehicle for three days on May 31 and June 1 and 2 to publicize government ser- vices available to the public. Council learned that the Ausable-Bayfield Con- servation Authority Levy for 1982 would be $2,428, an increase of only 873 over last year and the government equalization grants would be paid directly to the village bank. A letter from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment advised that work on the village's proposed sewage expansion program must be started by December 31, 1983 to be exempt from the Environmental Assessment Act. Reeve Ivan Hearn suggested a meeting be called with provincial of- ficials before the end of the month to get the project underway. Councillor Larry Hotson was named to the planning board to replace George Young who resigned recently. Hugh Baird was re- appointed as the village weed inspector. A letter was received from Joan Trudgean commencing the roads and hydro em- ployees for a good job in clearing snow during the recent heavy snow storm.. Anglican women invited to Deanery The Order of Service, at Holy Trinity Anglican Church was Holy Com- munion taken from the Prayer Book. Greeting the members and friends this morning were Donna and Jack Atkinson. Reading of the Old and New Testament lessons was by Andy Van Geel. During the "children's talk" another of our young students, Douglas Hotson, was added to the list of those who correctly named the books of the New Testament. Congratulations Douglas. Carol Smith sang a song, unaccompanied; to the delight of the congregation. Rev. Pocock spoke on "Faith" based on the readings of the day. Abrah- am, chosen by God, knew that whatever God promised he would do. He had complete faith in God because God had made a covenant with him. God made a number of covenants (promises) through the ages; we are people of the New Covenant which was established at the Last Supper. Anglican Women The The afternoon group of Anglican Church Women, met at the home of Helen MacDonald, Wednesday, with 14 in attendance.

Six churches at World Prayer Day prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane "Not my will, but Thine be done." The third type of prayer is "Oh God" in a happy tone, a prayer of love to God. This love must be experienced in the joy of knowing "Father, I am your child". Jesus came to show us the character of God, a God of love and hope. How can we refuse His gift of everlasting life? The only way to God Is through Jesus Christ. Rev. Keith Brown closed the service with the benediction, following which friends were entertained at a time of fellowship in the C.E. wing. Members and friends from all local churches gathered at Lucan United Church on Friday evening for the world-wide "World Day of Prayer Service." Prelude music was provided by two of Helen Stanley's pupils Jane Holden and Tabatha Fronts, and the host church choir led in the ministry of music. The leaders' parts in the service were taken by Bernie Van Bussel, St. Patrick's; Gwen Lynn, Clandeboye United; Shirley Ryan, Lucan United; Hazel Cunningham, St. James lican; Eileen Currie, Lucan Revival Centre and Beth Smith, Holy Trinity Anglican. "Voices" during the service were taken by various members in the congregation. Directed by Nancy VanGeel, girls from Holy Trinity Anne Hodgins, Paula Hodgins, Vicki McDonald and Christine Blay acted out a skit depicting Brigid of Kildare petitioning the king to form a community of men and women to minister in the name of Christ in Ireland. June Henry introduced Toni Davies, RR 1, Lucan, the guest speaker, who spoke on three types of prayer. 1 ne first is a groaning "Oh God" prayer of desperation from the lips of a sinner in great need, asking for God's forgiveness. Once he accepts God's forgiveness, he learns that nothing is impossible. The second type is one of intense prayer, after which God is revealed as being In control, building His Kingdom. Praying this in- tense prayer also reveals what is in our hearts eg. forgiving or holding a grudge? Christ's prayer of forgiveness on the cross was possible because of the Times -Advocate, March 10, 1982 Page 21 Bantams ahead in playoff hockey opened the meeting with Prayers taken from William Barclay's, "Prayers for the Christian Year," with special emphasis on the Lenten season. The Mem- ber's Prayer and Prayer Partner's prayer were repeated in unison. The' meditation was taken from the Living Message dealing with Goodness, one of the Fruit9'bf the Spirit!' The scripture was read by , business. John 11:32 tells Florence Hodgins. Two letters were read. One was an invitation for all Anglican Church Women in the Medway Deanery to an evening of fellowship, April 29, 7:30 p.m. at St. George's Church, Wharncliffe Rd., N., London.

An article found in the Keewatin Paper regarding our Prayer Partner, Rev. Henry Kakekayash, at Weagamow Lake was greatly enjoyed. A suc- cessful training school was held with over 100 in at- tendance. Edythe Murdy read several "minutes" from an old W.A. book which she came across and many of our members recalled memories from the past. The Lucan bantams are enjoying great success In area, playoffs. After eliminating Watford the ban- tams handled by coach Ken Freeman and manager Reg Crawford are meeting Brussels. The first game was played in Brussels Wednesday. After falling behind 3-0 the Lucan club pulled out a 5-4 Revival Centre Bill Davies led the song service Sunday morning. While the communion was being served Danny Gillard sang "Reach Out to Jesus." Rev. C.J. Williams spoke from 11 Chronicles 26:1-10, 15-21, on the exciting and sad story of the life of Uzziah, King of Judah. Rev. Williams said most problems Christians have are because they let down their defenses. Cleaning up after a disaster is hard and messy, but it is heartbreaking when you caused it. Our spiritual life is a personal thing, between us and God. There is a problem we need to face after we have won a victory. When victory comes, don't sit down, as the enemy may be preparing a second attack when he gets you off guard. Be careful not to have pride when you have won the battle, or you will be told by God you are found wanting. We need to put on the whole spiritual armour of God to fight spiritual giants. Our victory is in seeking the Lord. Rev. C.J. Williams con- ducted the evening service. Mrs. Ron Hall, visiting from London, played the Minshall organ that was donated to the church by the Yamaha Music Centre of London.. Lorraine Armitage accompanied the organ playing the piano. Rev. Williams spoke from John 11:14-15 saying so often' we demand God's whole will at one time. There are times we know God, . while His presence seems to be absent, but we know in faith He is working things out. Luke 2:43-45 tells of an absent Jesus. His earthly parents did not know He had to be about His Father's win with a last minute goal. Friday evening, March 5, the second game was played In Lucan. Once again the Brussels boys took Lucan by surprise and jumped into an early 2 to 0 lead but, shor- thanded with only 10 skaters, from then on it was mostly Lucan with the Lucan boys winning by a 9 to 2 score. Goal getters in this game were Mike Dewan, Lester Dewan and Paul Foran with 2 each. Singles went to Jesse Crawford, Geof Gwalchmai and Brent Bannerman. The next game is at Brussels tonight, Wednesday, March 10. Wednesday evening, February 24, a crowd of some 400 fans enjoyed watching the Lucan Ban- tams take on a Bantam Team from Dubendorf, Switzerland. Although the Swiss boys were somewhat bigger and older, the Lucan boys played a fast, exciting game but ended up on the short end of a 4 to 2 score. During the afternoon the Swiss boys were taken on a tour of several dairy and horse farms, returning to the arena at 5 p.m. for a lunch served by the hockey mothers. According to International custom, the teams ex- changed gifts before the first puck was dropped. After the game a delicious meal was served in the Leprechaun Room. Presentations were made of Village of Lucan pins by Reeve Ivan Hearn and el Ontario pins by Mr. Jack Riddell, M.P.P. Tom Hardy also presented each player with a souvenir Lucan Cup cap. Upcoming Wednesday 7p.m. Server's Meeting at Church; 8 p.m "Ashes to Easter" program continues at the church. This week's symbol is salt. Sunday, March 21, Con- firmation will be held at St. James Clandeboye, at 11:15 with our new Suffragan Bishop Jones officiating. Wednesday, March 10, registration 9 a.m., for the Learning for Lent series at Lucan United Church. that hour of difficulty caused Mary to forget her belief in Jesus. There are times in our lives we feel out of touch with Jesus, while we are to experience Christian growth. Matthew 14:22-24 tells how helpless the disciples felt without Jesus' presence in a storm. As Jesus walked on that stormy sea, so today He walks in our storms of life. We have to be careful in our difficulties or we fail to see Jesus. Jesus had been praying before He walked to His disciples. We also need to pray. God can use us to help someone else after we have come through our storm experience and have rested, with our faith alive. When Jesus, the King, is present in our lives, He gives us the authority to be released from our storms of life. Outdoors Club meets Members of the Lucan4-H club no. 2 held their first meeting for the new club "More Outdoor Living" last Monday evening, March 1, at the home of leader Harolyn Sire.

Congratulations to you both. Twenty four Cubs of the 1st Lucan Pack held a two day winter camp at the Parkhill Conservation area February 13 and 14, enjoying many outdoor activities par- ticularly tobogganing on large inner tubes loaned by the Conservation Authority. A Conservation officer took the boys and their leaders on an hour long hike of discovery on Saturday, pointing -out many tracks of small animals living in the area. The group lived in the heated activity barn and Margaret Chapman, wife of Akelea Tom, went along as cook. As dessert at one meal, two Valentine cakes soon disappeared under the onslot of 24 hungry boys. Sunday, the boys and their leaders held their own ' special Scouting Service of worship and then it was back to their outdoor activities. Reports have it that some of the boys were asleep before their heads hit their pillows. Your correspondent, a camp leader from years ago, wonders about the leaders!
