A game and song got everyone moving before the dads and sons together, completed a crossword quiz on the Beaver topic. Breakfast was then gobbled down by all.

Revival Sunday morning Miss Marlene Brothers sang If That Isn't Love,at the Lucan Revival Centre. Rev. C.J. Williams spoke from Mark 4:1 and 35-41 concerning the disciples being so fearful they forgot to use the power of Jesus which they had. Many times we want to live in victory but do not want the experiences that build our faith. The disciples had Christ forgotten was the source of power and miracles, even as he slept in the boat with them. When all seemed im- possible Christ calmed the storm, speaking peace. Are we so concerned with our life's storms we cannot see Christ in our lives? Because the just shall live by faith, we are to call on God in every experience of our lives.

The third meeting of the Lucan 2 Club was held at the home of member Jennifer Centre as, as the disciples did "What manner of man is this?" This Man is the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Jesus knows all our fallings and weakness , then strengthen us,as He loves us. Jesus had told the disciples they were going to pass over to the other side. The storm tried their faith in Him. When they called on Him, He brought peace and deliverance. Sunday evening Danny Gillard sang "Ten Thousand Angels." Rev. C.J. Williams ministered from Exodus 13:17-22 and Ezekiel 37:17. Like the dry bones in Ezekiel, there are churches now closed that used to be alive with worshippers. God wants to raise up the church from discouragement to live again. Because the Israelites complained after God set them free from Egypt, they wandered for 40 years in the wilderness.
