UC celebrates anniversary A full congregation celebrated the 120th anniver- sary of Lucan United Church Sunday morning with a ser- vice of praise to God. Evan and Verna Ibbitson greeted worshippers at the door as they arrived. A highlight of the service was the music of the Medway Madrigal Choir under the direction of their leader, Ken- neth Fleet. The congregation expressed their. enthusiastic appreciation by spontaneous applause. A children's story told by Marguerite McRoberts was happly received by the boys and girls before they departed for Junior Congregation led by Barb Gibson and her faithful junior helpers. Guest preacher for the oc- casion was the Rev. Cyril Jar- dine of London, already well known to Lucan folk as in- terim minister for some months in 1977. He spoke about Jesus' parable of the Sower and the Seed. "What makes it Grow?" he asked. Just as the. farmer's seed will not germinate without rain and sunshine, so the seed of God's Word needs the presence of God's Spirit in order to take root and grow in a person's life. Just as seed will not flourish in hard pack= ed soil, so a hard, unrespon- sive heart gives little oppor- tunity for God's Word to do its work. But the life that does receive this seed will grow in the beauty and winsomeness of Jesus. The good soil of the - parable is often prepared by a godly home and by Chris- tian parents who recognize the lasting value of the regular worship of God. Mr. Jardine concluded, "The tru- ly fruitful life is one that knows, loves and serves God through Jesus Christ who sows His seed in our hearts by His Word'and His example". The service was followed by a time of fellowship and refreshment in the C.E. Wing. All women of the con- gregaion are invited to attend the General U.C.W. meeting, Wednesday, June 9, in the C.E. Wing. This will be a time to celebrate the 20th Anniver- sary of United Church Women.

C.J. Williams ministered from Matthew 15:29-38 concerning needy people finding the answer in Jesus. When people are ill, the Bible says to call for elders of the church to pray for them. To receive help, people must obey God's word. Chris- tians with physical, spiritual and mental needs, that are sore spots in their lives. should come to Jesus for heal- ing, as people did in the Bible. Those who do not know Jesus feel there is no release from the physical and mental torments of life. A Christian can tell them about Jesus' healing power. The power of Jesus can transform them. The people in this Bible story came just as they were. and God healed them: At close of the service Record sales Season tickets for the Myth Summer Festival are selling at twice last year's record breaking rate as many take advantage of this theatre bargain.

Mrs. Marlene Thorntop and Mrs. Lorraine Armitage sang the Healer. Bruce Shaw conducted the worship in song Sunday even- ing. Rev. C.J.' Williams spoke from Numbers 14:6-9 and 20-24 that it takes a different spirit to go ahead in the face of opposition. Caleb and Joshua had motivated faith in God. Those who did not heed God's word and His voice did not make it into the promised land. Caleb and Joshua believed what God had pro- mised, and forty years later they entered the promised land, to obtain their in- heritance. By faith we can go over hard -circumstances to possess our spiritual inheritance.
