Completing a pleasant two week visit by their cousins from the West, the Reid and Stokes families in the south- western Ontario area gathered with them at the local "activity centre."

Congratulations to the shuf- fle board players, which was played near the Craigholme Revival Centre Sunday morning Wm. Davies opened the service reading Rev. 5 and Doug Butler sang "More Than just a Story." Rev. C.J. Williams spoke from Isaiah 6:1-5 where Isaiah saw the King, the Lord of Hosts, before God commis- sioned him to speak for Him. We can become satisfied with what blessings we have to the extent we miss what blessings God has in future for us. Joint service for Anglicans in area St. James Anglican Church, Clandeboye, was again the host church for the joint Sun- day Morning worship of Clandeboye and Lucan chur- ches. Members and friends were welcomed by Alan Hill, warden. The service was conducted by lay people with Marion Hodgins leading the service. The New Testament lesson was read by Bryan Smith and the Gospel by Joe Cunningham. Guest speaker, Bob Heywood, from the Exeter area was introduced by Ruth Hill. Bob not only spoke the Word of God but also shared his ministry of music. He ac- companied himself on his ac- cordion singing a beautiful sing of his own personal testimony and an inspira- tional number, "Peace, Be Still" which his message was based on. Faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour brings to the believer that peace of God which passes all understan- ding. Just as Jesus was able to calm the troubled waters on the Sea of Galilee, so too, He can give us the grace to deal with the many trials and troubles which come our way. Peace on earth will not return until the return of the Prince of Peace, but as followers of Christ we can have peace with God, now, by faith in His Son. Flowers in the sanctuary were placed for the glory of God and in loving memory of the late Mrs. Pearl Cobleigh by her daughter Mrs. Dorothy Demedash. Next week the rector will be with us again and there will be a celebration of the Eucharist at 9:30 a.m. Up -coming: Special vestry meeting of Holy Trinity, Lucan, at the Parish Hall, Ju- ly 26 at 7:30 p.m. Isaiah was a prophet of God. When he saw a vision of the Lord, he saw a new ministry to reach men for the truth, to minister to people. It is a mistake tobuild a ministry on what we see, while we need to see the glory of God. When we see His glory, we see and realize our own unworthiness. Isaiah was permitted this vision of God's glory to see his own unhdliness, confessing he was unfit to bear God's message. God sent a seraph to purge Isaiah's uncleaness, cleanse his lips, and commis- sion him to witness for Him. When we confess unwor- thiness, God willcleanse us, and set us free from past sins. Sunday evening Lorraine Armitage sang "We'll Talk it Over" and Rev. C.J. Williams spoke from Genesis 17:1-4, and 8-18-21, on God's promise to Abraham for a son and heir when he was 99 years old, and his wife Sarah was 90. Pro- mises given to each of us may be different. Often God says to wait awhile. Abraham wanted his son Ishmael, from his bondservant to be his heir, but God wanted the promised son, Isaac, to be the heir of promise. If we can wait for God's appointed time, His promises will come. We must put our confidence in God, leaving every situation in life to Him. July 24 to August 2, the "Living Water Gospel Singers" will travel to a camp meeting at Tulsa, Oklahoma. Anyone interested in going please contact Allen Melan- son at 472-8048.

Church The Lucan Couples Club was responsible for the Sun- day service July 18 with Bob Patterson welcoming members and friends. Ed Melanson led the ser- vice and his son, Allen, sang two solos "Holy is Thy Name" and "Its My Desire to be Like Jesus". Allen also taught the congregation two new -to -us choruses "I Will Say of Our Lord" and "He's all I Need." In his message, taken from Luke 15:11-32, Allen told that it is just not enough to fill a pew each Sunday, We must accept, by faith, all that God offers us so freely, and be drawn into a inner fellowship with Him, doing the will of our Father. It is through the true knowledge of God that we come to Him and acknowledge that "whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." The prodigal son admitted his wrong doing and returned to his father thus "acting" on his faith and his father did not criticize him, but accepted him as he was, dirty and ragged. God will accept us as we are if we will act on faith and accept, in gratitude His great gifts, entering into His inner fellowship. On behalf of the Couples Club, Ed thanked Flora Robertson for playing the organ and Allen for his message and his ministry in music. Next Sunday the service at 11 a.m. will be taken by Wes. Stanley and the following Sun- day, August 1, the Clandeboye service will resume at the regular 9:45 time and the Lucan service at 11:15 with Rev. Keith Brown in charge.
