Sunday after- noon, these men were busy putting up fencing for crowd control at the event which gets underway Friday night. However, even the work is fun, judging from the smiles and the good-natured bantering that was going on among the work party. ews from the At Lucan United Church on Sunday, Rob and Phyllis Brady welcomed members and friends to the service. Jeff and Diane Park presented their infant son,. James David Jeffery, for baptism. The monthly "Minute Talk for Missions" was given by Ed. Melanson who told brief- ly of the work of Rev. Bob Gray of Regina, Saskat- chewan in his "Street Parish" in the concrete jungle. This work is supported through mission and service contributions: Rev. Keith Brown, speak- ing from Psalm 31:15 said that more people are worry- ing and living in fear than ever before, not the fear that keeps us away from harm, but real, hurting fear. He ask- ed the question "Is this not due to the fact that so many lose sight of God until some emergency arises?" David had many times of fear and anxiety and in this Psalm freely admits this fear but points out that he trusted in God to brie&him through. We can de this as well, bear- ing in mind verse 15. Mr. Brown gave three steps to having complete trust in God; making Him our refuge, lean- ing upon Him for support and faith and telling Him we trust Him and keep on telling Him until fear is gone. The flowers in the Sanc- tuary were from the funerals of the late Arthur Dauncey and Craig Burgess. Next Sunday the monthly "hymn sing" will be held at 11 a.m. Come and sing old and new favourites. Middlesex County choirs are reminded of the "mass- ed" choir rehearsal in Lucan U.C. at 8 p.m. on Monday, August 30 in preparation for the Ecumenical Service in connection with the Plowing Match on Sunday, September 26., Lucan Revival Centre To open the Sunday morn- ing service Mrs. Marlene Thornton and Mrs. Lorraine Armitage sang "My Wonder- ful Lord." Rev. C.J. Williams from Luke 5:1-9 showed that God wantsChristians to increase. Christianity should be real, as we should possess the good things God has for us. We Lucan churches may miss the good things of God if we have it all figured out for ourselves. Like Peter who argued with•the Lord, we sometimes do the same when things do not go the way we want them to go. When Peter obeyed the Lord he experienc- ed God's miracle provision. There are conditions we must meet for God to bless us. If we are filled with God's spirit, we cannot be destroyed spiritually. Sunday evening Rev. C.J. Williams, led a Bible search on salvation. Hebrews 2:1-9 warns against neglecting so great salvation, provided by Jesus tasting death for every man. Salvation is a change of direction, and thinking in our lives once we have accepted Jesus Christ. Exodus 4:21-27 tells of the delivering power of God _ shown to His obedient 'people. Daniel 3:8-30 tells of the faithful Hebrews standing up for the principles of God they believed in, being thrown into a fiery furnace. But God delivered them unharmed causing the ruler to exalt them. Daniel 6 tells of God's deliverance of Daniel from the den of lions. Freedom Ministries presents a Benefit Concert September 10, at 8 p.m. at Lucan Public School for mis- sionary Rev.
