Sharon Newman gave a "Minute for Missions" talk describ- ing the work of the Asian Rural In- stitute in Japan, which trains young Asians and Africans so that they can return to assist their own needy com- munities as leaders in agriculture. The Mission and Service Fund of the Church assists with this work. Mr. Brown continued his sermon series on Paul's letter to the Romans. pointing out that Paul's enthusiasm about his theme, the Good News of Christ, knew no bounds. That Good News speaks of a salvation from all the great ills that beset mankind, both spiritual and physical. Faith is the means whereby that salvation becomes a fact in a person's experience. To have faith means not only loyalty to Jesus Christ. and belief in the truth of the Gospel, but total commitment to Christ. Justification is a third key word which Paul uses in explaining the Good News. This involves a new love relationship with God who. because of Christ, sees the person with true faith in Him just as though he had never sinned. "The man who finds life will find it only through trusting God," concluded Mr. Brown. Services continue at the 10 a.m. hour for the next three Sundays. Fire calls The Lucan volunteer fire depart- ment answered a call, very early Sun- day morning, August 4 to the Becker Store where the gasoli ne pumps were knocked over by an out -of -control car.

TALKING HOCKEY Rick Able of the Shamrock hockey school now on at the Lucan arena chats with Josh Appleman and Doug Hotson of Lucan and Mathew Vanderburgh from Michigan. UCO n and district MONS leadership theme at Revival Centre Doug Butler led the song service Sunday morning. Rev. Roger Mason spoke from Romans 12:6-8, concern- ing leadership in verse 8. Leadership is also adminstration and govern- ments, which operates for the good of the church. The gift of leadership is the special ability God gives to certain Christians to set goals and take his group towards that goal. A leader is placed over and presides over his family, or a group of people, with the respon- sibility to care for, and protect them. The leader steers and pilots his group to a certain goal. In Hebrews 13:17 we read a leader goes before, pioneering his church in the right spiritual way. The Christians have to be spiritually growing in the Lord. The gift of leadership is not confined to the clergy in the church. A leader is never bossy or domineering as 3 John 9-10 shows. I Peter 5:3 also warns pastors not to dominate their flocks. In Mark 10: 42-43 Jesus warns against lordship, but says a leader should be a servant. Jesus says in verse 45 He came to serve. Christian leaders generate con- fidence. and their followers will be coluntary followers. Because the church cannot operate without leaders, Jesus trained His apostles to be church leaders. In Acts the apostles presided over the infant church. They guided the new converts on being Christians. Then they pioneered starting new churches, go- ing into gentile homes. The apostles exhibited leadership abilities both by service and example, as Jesus showed. Sunday evening Rev. Roger Mason ministered from 1 Peter 4:9-10, on the gift of hospitality where they enjoy in- viting people into their homes to serve them. Verse 9 encourages people to gladly open their homes to help others. Hospitality is an active act of love towards others. Hospitality is also that special abili- ty of certain Christians to provide food and lodging while making their guest welcome. Entertainment is not hospitality, as it seeks to impress others with one's home and social graces. Hospitality says what God has given me I gladly share with you. In Matthew 25:32-40 Jesus is saying the church should be rich in mercy. and in hospitality, showing open heartedness towards people. In ear- ly Christian times Christians opened their homes, as there were no other suitable places to stay. Welcoming God's men into their homes further the growth of the church. Without hospitality Jesus would have had no place to stay. He was welcomed in Peter and Lazarus homes. In Acts Peter was asked to stay in the Gentile converts home of Cornelius. Paul stayed in homes of believers, one being Lydia in Acts 16:15. In Acts 21: verses 4-8-16 Paul stayed in homes of Christians on his missionary journeys. 11 John 10-11 warns against allow- ing false teachers to stay in your home, as hospitality is a form of sup- port. Hospitality can be a tremenous vehicle for evangelism. Upcoming events -- August 25. the. Viscounts will be in Concert for the Sunday Morning Service.
