People everywhere long for peace in their personal lives and relationships, but many are disappointed to find that neither money, nor the praise of men, nor pleasure lead to that end. The New Testament teaches that Jesus purchased inner peace for us by His death on the Cross. We cannot "make our peace with God," but rather it is for us to accept the recon- ciliation with God and with others that Christ has made possible. When wF receive Him into our lives as personal Saviour and Lord, His peace enters with Him. Verna Ibbitson, on behalf of the Mission and Service Com- mittee, gave the first Minute for Missions talk of the new season, describing the United Church's outreach on Univer- sity campuses throughout the country to students through chaplaincy services. She mentioned also that the special summer Junior Church group under the direc- tion of Dorothy Dedels and Barb Gibson had donated their offerings of $38.50 to the M and S fund to help support a missionary in Korea. Beth Cowdry's story for the boys and girls was another highlight of the service. Little Rick, frightened by bad dreams learned that he could trust God. "God's lap is very big," Rick discovered. Rod and Diane Morrison were at the door to offer a warm welcome to worship- pers, and later in the service assisted with the offering. Sunday School began its Fall term with a good turnout of children, young people and adults. Classes for all are available from. zee 3 and up, including one for high school age youth, a Bible Class for adults, and a discussion group for mothers of Sunday School age children.
