Be watchful theme at WM
Women's Ministries of Lucan
Revival Centre held their monthly
meeting Wednesday evening at the
home of Mrs. Cathy Mason. The guest
speaker Rev. John Sexton, from
North Carolina, spoke on wat-
chfulness. In the Olivet discourse
Jesus said to watch and pray for His
second coming.
In the Old Testament a watchman
was set up to watch for the enemy
while the people slept. Jesus said for
us to watch and pray so we do not
lapse into spiritual sleep. Wat-
chfulness is meant in the aspect that
we are looking for the coming of the
Lord. This includes being in a way
that we do not purposely leave an -
thing undone for the Lord.
We sometimes may get out of sorts
in our spiritual activities with cares
and burdens so that we are in spiritual
slumber. Our relationship to the Lord
is the first indication of our being alert
spiritually.
While we are watching we are
working for Him by always having an
attitude of prayer and helping others
cheerfully.
Mrs. Cathy Mason presented each
lady with a Creative Circle craft of
either a candy cane or a dove to be
embroidered.
Rev. Roger Mason Sunday morning
spoke about perfection from Matthew
11:28-30, an invitation to all to come
to Christ. Rev. Mason told of a mis-
sionary who had a false concept of
God being a very demanding God to
the point he had a ° nervous
breakdown. When his ideas changed
to have a healthy concept of a
gracious God, he was healed.
The disease of perfection can
destroy a Christian. First symptom is
the tyranny of the "oughts". A person
has a feeling they can never be good
enough. A typical phrase is "I ought
to do it better", and- "If only I had
done it better".
Another perfectionist is the
legalistic one. He tries so hard to
please others so others will approve
of him. They are always adding new
ideas, or taking away old ones, trying
to live up to regulations.
Sunday evening Rev. Roger Mason
read Luke 8:4-15, Matthew 13:23, and
Mark 4:20, the parable of the sower,
with different fruitfulness. Christians
who are unfruitful have some element
of the bad soils in this parable. If a
person is going to be a fruitful Chris-
tian he has to hear God's word, and
respond to it.
Those who do not go to church, or
read the Bible are not good fruitful
Christians. Rev. Mason once a month
preaches the gospel over a Christian
broadcast. But God has intended
Christians to meet together to hear
the word of God preached.

Sunday School awards
Mrs. Joan Willis of Hagersville wak
guest speaker at Lucan-Clandeboye
United Church Sunday School annual
Rally Day and Awards service in the
church on Sunday morning. Using her
hand -made puppets, she told two con-
temporary versions of Jesus' parable
of the Good Samaritan. Brownie
Brenda and a member of the local
Youth Group both discovered that in
time of trouble, their help came from
an unexpected source.
Mrs. Willis' puppet show encourag-
ed the boys and girls to be good
neighbours to those in need and
challenged adults as well as children
to examine their motives and
priorities. Mrs. Willis' daughter
Susan assisted her in the presenta-
tion, and Barb Bannerman acted as
Narrator. Mrs. Willis also gave
another short puppet show early in
the service entitled, "What is God
Like?" A little boy set out to find the
answer to this question as he inter-
viewed his parents, his blind cousin,
his doctor, and his minister.
Matthew Lane read the scripture
portion for the day, and members of
the Junior High class ushered and
received the offering.
Sunday School secretary Sherry
Lane, assisted by Mr. Brown,
distributed awards to boys and girls
for good attendance during the past
year. A special award was given to
Shelley Snider for perfect attendance.
Mr. Brown conducted a short ser-
vice of commissioning for the
treachers and officers of the Sunday
School, and Superintendent Barb
Bannerman thanked the teachers for
their dedication, and the parents for
their co-operation.
