Alden Walker read the Scripture, and Barb Bannerman had a story for the boys and girls. She reminded the children how much fun it is to play games when everyone follows the rules. She pointed out that God had given us rules for living in His Book, and she talked to them about some of these rules. Barb was also in charge of Junior Congregation, assisted by the Junior Helpers. Rev. Brown introduced a new ser- mon series on Paul's letter to the Ephesians which outlines God's design for His Church. In the first chapter, Paul speaks about God's pro- vision of spiritual blessings, so necessary if we are to carry out the plan He has outlined. He makes possible for us a growing likeness to Jesus Christ. he chooses us to be part of His purpose in the world. He adopts us as members of His own family. He frees us from the penalty of our sin through the Cross, and He enlightens us regarding the vastness of His plans for His people - that they should work with Him to undo the ef- fects of man's rebellion and to restore unity to the whole universe. The service was followed by a lun- cheon and the annual congregational business meeting, during which of- ficers were elected for the coming year. A recommendation was passed that elders and stewards be given oppor- tunity to change their responsibilities after three years and that no elder or steward should serve more than six consecutive years at one time.

Rev. Roger Mason read I Timothy 3:8-12, the qualifications of a deacon. As the church soon will be choosing another deacon, the members need to choose one who meets these requirements. The way to choose a man for a deacon is to ask if that man is living up to the qualifications for a deacon. A deacon needs to be a man of digni- ty, seriously takes on responsibility, not double tongued, but honest, not addicted to wine, or fond of dishonest gain. A deacon needs to hold to the Chris- tian faith, with sincerity. His faith be- ing proved, he lives up to the word of God, his life being blameless. A future deacon's wife must possess the same character qualities as a deacon. A deacon also must be a good manager of his household, the husband of one wife, excercising a godly influence in his home. These are practical Chris- tian living principles for everyone.

This was followed by the third of a series of tapes on Marriage by Christian mar- riage counsellor J. Alan Peterson. He pointed out that we need to have a strong sense of self-worth if we are to relate well to our marriage part- ner. Such a sense of worth can be developed as we recognize the value God puts upon each of us in loving us unconditionally, and considering us worth dying for. IIThe evening closed with fellowship and refreshments provided by the couples in charge. ing troops in Cyprus. Rev. Roger Mason ministered from Hebrews 4:14-16. Jesus is referred to the Great High Priest, as no one qualified to be a high priest as He does. Born as a man, also God, He is the perfect High Priest. Verse 15 tells us we have God's sympathy through Jesus' suffering and life on earth as a man. Not only does Jesus understand our weaknesses and feelings, because He lived on earth, He also sympathizes with us, with ability to identify with us. Yet Jesus never sinned, although subject to pressure to do wrong. The third benefit is we receive help in our need. Because we have a sym- pathetic High Priest that God the Father listens to, we can come to God in prayer in confidence, yet humbly: Because Jesus is our High Priest, we can come to God to receive mercy and grace to help in the time of need. After the service, a farewell gather- ing was held in the Fellowship Hall for George and Elsie Melanson, who are moving to Bayfield. Saintsbu By MRS.
