United Churches amalgamate
Lucan and Clandeboye United
Church people united to form one con-
gregation at a special service of
Amalgamation at Lucan United
Church Sunday morning. As a sym-
bol of this union, Alex Young,
honorary elder at Lucan, and Wilmer
Scott of Clandeboye's Session each
brought forward a list of members'
names which Mr. Brown received and
enclosed in the Church Register. A
short candle -lighting service further
symbolized this event, and the con-
gregation joined in a united re-
affirmation of faith.
The welcome committee consisted
of Bob and Helen Patterson of Lucan
and Ralph and Gwen Lynn,
Clandeboye.
A highlight of the service was music
provided by young people of the two
congregations. Catherine, Cheryl and
Bonnie Lynn .of Clandeboye sang a
lovely song of dedication, "Jesus Lift
Me Up", and immediately preceding
the union of the two churches, Jen-
nifer and John MacDonald sang very
beautifully a prayer for the new con-
gregation, "May this be the Place".
The young people were accom-
panied by organist Helen Stanley,
who was assisted also by Winnie
Robichaud at the piano during the
congregational singing.
Beth Cowdery told the children a
story about some small boys who
discovered that the things their
Heavenly Father has made are even
more wonderful than the houses and
airplanes constructed by their dads.
Following the story„Freeda Melanson
and her helpers took the large group
of children out for their Junior Con-
gregation time.
The guest preacher for the day was
the Rev. Dr. Doug Ross, Executive
Secretary of London Conference, who
represented Middlesex Presbytery,
London Conference and the United
Church as a whole at this service of
celebration.
"Dying and Living” was the theme
of his message. He pointed out that on
the personal level, we have to accept
the death of old dreams in order that
new meaningful ones may be fulfill -

News from
Revival Centre
Sunday School promotion saw the
children taking part in the Sunday
morning service. Doug and Martha
Butler led action choruses, with
everyone taking part. Sunday School
superintendent Mrs. Barbara Sloetjes
introduced puppets Susie and Sammy
who were discussing why they should
go to Sunday School.
Mrs. Loetjes questioned several
children on what they Learned in Sun-
day School. Some answers were about
Jesus and God. Puppets Susie and
Sammy returned with the before
reluctant Sammy now being enthus-
ed about all he learned about David
from the Bible.
Mr. Butler led in an old chorus I'm
Travelling .on the Hallelujah Line,
while Mrs. Butler as conductor led the
children as a "train". Mrs. Sloetjes
presented awards to children with at
least 75 percent attendance for past
year. She then introduced the
teachers of the Sunday School.
Rev. Roger Mason extended a
challenge to them to influence people
for good, to direct children and adults
towards the spiritual destiny of living
for Christ. Rev. Mason challenged the
teachers to prayerfully and careful-
ly prepare their lessons, to encourage
their pupils to grow in the knowledge
of God. •
Mrs. Carole Butler, playing the
piano, accompanied Miss Vicki
Sumners as she sang Seek ye first the
Kingdom of God, then In His Time.
Vicki, all of eight years old, sang
beautifully.
Mrs. Sloetjes, with a wordless book,
for each colored page, had one of the
children read a Bible verse to match
the color of the page, from green for
spring, black with sin, cleansed by the
red blood of Jesus, to become white
as snow, so one can go to heaven
where streets are paved with gold.
Rev. Roger Mason told the story of
two men with two sons. One son was
very smart, good in sports, a good
singer, and always in church. The
other boy was not so smart, always
getting into trouble no matter how
hard he tried not to, but God loved
them both. One day they went to a
lake. The troublesome boy swam out
too far, and the smart boy went to
rescue him, but drowned.
The father of the troublesome boy
offered money'to the bereaved father,
but no money could repay for loss of
a son. There are people who try to pay
their way into God's favor, by giving
money to the church, by coming to
church, and by doing good deeds.
'Nothing one does can pay for personal
sin. God's only Son, Jesus Christ, died
to save us from our sin.
Jesus' death is the only payment for
our personal sin.
