Grand Bend
United Church
During the children's story time at
the Grand Bend United Church Sun-
day morning, Rev. Peebles spoke to
the children about "Counterfeit".
This means "not real or genuine" and
hp said this applies to religion as well
as to money, telling them thatj they
cannot deceiye God - He recognizes a
hypocrite as a cheap imitation.
The choir sang the lovely anthem
"Hallelujah, I'm the Glory". The
scripture lesson was read by Doug
Martin. Preceding the morning ser-
vice, Rev. Peebles sang a solo. His
message for the morning was titled
"A time of Presentation".
He shared with the congregation
the true story of a young man he had
met this past summer. The young
man had read a religious tract so-
meone had put in his car, and became
inspired to share his convictions by
wearing a signboard covered with
Scripture quotes, while walking once
a week on the streets of Grand Bend.
This is truly a remarkable example
of the zeal of a newly found faith in
God. Rev. Peebles said, with a solid
foundation in God's. Word, we can
share and present what Jesus has
done for us and means to us, and
leave the -results in God's hands.
Allan and Mary Forman were the
ushers with Bob and Cathy Southcott
acting as door greeters.
