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.

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.
