School presented their annual

ordinator, assisted by a student com-
mittee consisting of Tabatha Froats.
Jani Holden and Matthew Lane. Mat -
the r was M.C. for the evening. Three
younger classes led by their teachers.
Linda Hackney. Irene Donaldson and
Anne Ilolden each presented the
message of Christmas with an
acrostic poem. Dale Froat's eight
year olds acted out the Christmas
story in pageant form. and Phyllis
Brady's pre-schoolers stole the hearts
of the congregation as they sang "it's
Christmas Time".
Barb Coughlin's group gave
readings and songs based on their
study of the Creation. and Linda
Froat's Junior age children presented
a skit in which the children
discovered that when we give to
others, we are really giving to Jesus.
"Mostly Mothers", an adult group,
presented, a play in which a family
discovered that their priorities need-
ed to be rethought.
Jan Coughlin. Roshanna Barr and
Jane Holden each played an in-
strumental Christmas solo, while

celebrations
Advent celebrations continued Sun-
day morning at Lucan lande oye
United Church. Ruthanne Curti and
Barb Gibson acted as Welcome Com-
mittee for the day. Sue Barr read the
Scripture lesson, and Jennifer Mac -
Donald's lovely solo, "Carol of the
Children", contributed to the beauty
of the worship.
Flora Robertson told the children
about Lisa and her family who learn-
ed that preparing our hearts for
Christmas, and giving them to Jesus,
is much mere important than
decorating trees and stuffing -turkeys.
"A Saviour who is Christ the Lord"
was Mr. Brown's sermon theme.
Christ is a title rather than a name,
Mr. Brown explained, and it means
"the anointed one". Just as Kings,
Priests and Prophets were anointed
with oil, symbolizing the Holy Spirit,
in Old Testament times, so Jesus was
anointed as Messiah when the Holy
Spirit came upon him after John bap-
tized Him.
As Messiah, He still fulfills the role
df anointed Prophet today, speaking
God's Word to us. He is, also, a Priest
to us, our defence lawyer . in the
heavenly•eourt of justice and the One 1
who prays for us.
