no greater force than the love
of God; then we know that the
new year '85 will be one of
blessing, growth and
progress.
The children were told a
story about the value of
prayer and how it does help.
A boy was shipwrecked on an
island and when fire broke out
in his hut he thought all was
lost and his prayers
unanswered. A passing ship
saw the (ire and rescued him.

operation
('hurch of God
fin the last Sunday of 1984.
Pastor Campbell spoke on
"Remembering the
Sacrifice." The Lord's Supper
was observed.
liow thankful we can be for
this sacrifice for all time. It is
note -worthy that Jesus com-
manded us to observe com-
munion, not the cross as a
memorial of Ills death.
In the evening the film "In
His Steps" was shown.
Sixth silver stick
Silver Stick in the Parkhill
arena was started in 1979.
This was the first approved
novice silver stick tourna-
ment with 26 teams pa--
ticipating over a four day
period. This year, the number
of teams entered has increas-
ed to 36 in four divisions over
a five-day period.
Novice hockey players
from Grand Bend, Exeter,
Lucan, Parkhill, Strathroy
and Forest skated against
teams'from as far away as In-
gersoll, London, Leamington,
Chatham, St. Thomas, Glen-
view, and Port Huron to name
a few.
The North Middlesex Minor
Hockey Association consisted
of Blake Smith, Harley Ross,
Cornelius VanMassenhoven,
Jein Holland and Norm
Eagleson. Together this team
along with many others work
hard to organize this suc-
?k,
'.4 :...
cessful tournament. Without
the hockey Moms who donate
their time and food this event
would not be the exciting ex-
perience for these young
players that it is.
