Roger Mason spoke from Ephesians 2:11-17 stating Jesus isour peace. Peace is nbt the absencje of difficult circumstances. Peace comes from within, put there by trod. Our personal peace as Isaiah 53:5 says. is. purchased by Christ on Calvary. Since God did this for us. as John 3; 16 says, we can experience peace. In Colossians 1:19-22 Paul speaks of God's provision for peace with man through the cross. Because sinful men are at enmity with God, it was only the death of Christ at the Remember at United Church The Royal Canadian Legion, along with Scouts, Cubs. Beavers. Guides and Brownies helped fill every available pew at Luca n-Clandeboye United Church Sunday for the annual Remembrance Day service. The service began with the Presen- tation of Colours by each of these groups.

She Told the children about Carol who learned that reading God's Book can help change a grumpy uncle into one who is more kind and happy. Following the story. the children proceeded to their regular ,Junior Church. Bob Nhirray and Dennis Dedels were in charge of welcome and usher ing for the morning. Rev. Brown's sermon theme was Sacrifice. Ile painted to the example of those who sacrificed their lives in recent wars and in peace -keeping operations in order that we may en- joy freedom and peace "We rightly honour such imen and -women who gave all their country." he said. "But do we not owe a much greater allegience to our (od" What are we willing to sacrifice for the Kingdom of God''" he asked. .!esus pointed out that sacrifice is ne...essary, if we are to be His followers. 'Phis involves self-denial so seeing God's Kingdom as our priority that we are reads. to deny ourselves our personal rights. legitimate pleasures. our precious time, and our material resources for Ills sake. Sacrifice also involves sof feeing .!esus said. Just as Christ took up lfis•('ross. so we are called to ac- cept nrisunder•standing. humiliation and other hurts because we are faithful to Him. Self-commitment is a third princi- ple of sacrifice. Those whom we honour on Remembrance Day gave themselves in complete commitment to their leaders "Are we willing to tet Christ be the supreme Lord of our lives challenged Mr Brown 4 cross that broght peace between mankind and God. Ephesians 2:12 says man was separated from God. having no hope, without God. Also the -Jews were at odds with the Gentiles. Verse 14 tells that differences were resolved through the cross. Peace is the result of a relationship -as Isaiah 9:6 calls 4sus the Prince of Peace. When the Prince of peace is invited to come in us, He produces peace. This inner peace will remain through troubles, trials. and storms as long as one abides in Christ. God can cause troubles to bring us closer to Him. as peace flows from Christ: Sunday evening Rick Thornton was the song leader. Rev. Roger Mason ministered from Hebrews 2:1, show- ing Christians are not to allow themselves to drift away from their salvation. if a Christian leaves off reading the word, praying, or going to church. he will drift away from God. Drifting is easy. and does not lake any effort. just letting the cur- rent take one away. Spiritually the devil will arrange circumstances to cause a Christian to let go of God's care. and drift into wrong areas. Doing nothing makes drifting easy. but a current can take one away from God• because drifting is silent. it is dangerous, taking one away from the shore and safety and God. The current of secular humanism takes one away from God. Subtle hid- den currents of compromise draw a Christian from God. causing hint to he shipwrecked spiritually. Genesis 13:10-13 tells of Lot compromising un- til in Genesis 14:12 he was taken cap- tive.from Sodom. in Genesis 19 Lot had become a leader in Sodom when angels had to come to deliver him from the destruction of that wicked ci- ty. Step by step Lot compromised drifting away from God , It lakes effort to ire a Christian. while drifting into sin takes no effort. Those who follow Christ must stand up firm For the Lord. in Matthew 11:7 .Jesus commended John the Baptist as being, unshakable in his preaching of repentenee.1f the word is primary in a Christian's life. he will know if he is drifting away from God Corning events-WWednesday at 7:30 p.m. the Sunday School teachers meet in the (' E. wing of the church.

The reeve continued, "During the last three years Lucan has seen changes in the philosophical outlook of councillors, staff and ratepayers. Branch 540 hosts services Members of Branch 540 of the Cana- dian Legion, youth groups and friends gathered at the Legion !fall, Sunday to remember those who had given their lives in service to their country.

Remembrance Hay Service for Biddulph-Lucan students The Biddulph-Lucan school held a Remembrance Day Assembly at the Lucan Community centre, Monday. Different students from each class particiapted by reading poems, sing- ing, or by the . placing of wreaths made by each class.

Shelley Wyatt, Brian Heckman, Terry -Lynn Hockey, Sherri Beattie, Brandon Reed, Tara Forster, Teresa Lojzer, Janet Coughlin and Ann Harrott. While the very concept of change has a suggestion of non -permanence about it, I believe these recent changes will catapult Lucan into the 1990's and to the year 2000. Ile told councillors "As a result of your efforts an open communication has been developed on several planes. We have striven to keep our ratepayers fully informed and through the use of published minutes and committee reports you have been kept cognizant of all activities and in- formation. This has been done in the belief that better decisions result when complete information is given. You are probably among the best in- formed councils in Ontario". Steeper went on to say, "I've heard one of the wags on the street saythat I run council like a schoolroom. As far rt, as the reading goes he's probably quite correct and I make no apologies for it". "I'm a firm believer in par- ticipating democracy. Your efforts I feel have been of benefit to yourselves and the citizens of Lucan. Your com- mittee discussions and reports have done much to increase the public's perception that you are councillors in the truest sense of the word. You are community leaders". In similar fashion, deputy -reeve Harry Wraith thanked Steeper on behalf of the balance of council and employees for his leadership. He add- ed "It has been a pleasure to work with you." Steeper and Wraith have both been returned for another three year term by acclamation. Ivan Hearn, Lucan's representative on the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority attended Tuesday's meeting to discuss provincial funding for flood control on the Benn municipal drain. Hearn and Steeper were told earlier by the Minister of Natural Resources that financial help would be forthcom- ing, but, that has now been denied. The village and the Authority will be sending letters to the Minister ask- ing for a reversal on the decision. Fire ('all The Lucan volunteer fire depart- ment answered a call to the farm of Bob Hardy, very early Thursday morning where a "skidsteer" loader had caught fire and was a total loss. !ro• LUCAN 'LEGION REMEMBERS — A Remembrance Day service was held at the Lucan Legion Sunday afternoon.
