He began with the distribution of Ashes and Mass on Ash Wednesday evening, followed by a Mass on Thurs- day evening, a mass on Friday mor- ning, and Stations of the Cross with Benediction on Friday evening. This will be the regular schedule of devotions to continue throughout the Lenten season, including a special talk on the Catholic Faith, following •each Wednesday night mass, and,in- struction for all highschool students after each Thursday night mass. There will also be a Saturday morn- ing Mass at 9 a.m. plus the regular weekend masses on Saturday at 7:15 a.m. and Sunday at 9 and 11 a.m. With so many devotions available, everyone ought to be able to take the opportunity to put something "extra" into their Lenten preparations for a beautiful Easter. Father Morrissey's sermon, on this Second Sunday in Lent, concerned the effects of public opinion, one of the most powerful influences in the world today. A politician's very existence, or a TV series, depends upon public opinion. The Pharisees referred to in the Gospel were also concerned with making a good impression, and Christ called them hypocrites. Remember Shakespeare's "To thine ownself be true", for in the long run, a man is answerable ojnly to God for his actions and behaviour. That's the only opinion that really counts. United Church On the second Sunday of Lent, members and friends of the United Church of Grand Bend met together for worship, and were greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Morley Desjardine. Chris Perrine and Patty Desjardine ushered them to their seats. Scriptures were read by Mrs. Don Adams. The choir sang a special , number called "Redeemed". Flowers were placed in the chancel in loving memory of Jenny Mason, by members of her family. In the children's time, Rev. Peebles emphasized the point that little things count. A tiny atom, a germ, a speck of dust, or a little nail can cause a lot of damage. Jesus saw the potential of small things, like the widow's mite or a little child - all these were important to him. God can use the little things in our lives if we offer them in service to Him. Rev. Peebles spoke on the second clause of the Apostle's Creed, "I believe in Lord Jesus Christ, His On- • ly Son" and used as his text, the words of Peter, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God." He stessed four,. points, Christ's humanity, His Divini- ty, His resurrection and His Second Coming, and gave scriptural evidence as proof to backup these points. Rev. Peebles concluded with the comment that we need people who stand firm in their faith in Jesus Christ, if the Christian Church is to be victorious. There was a film shown on Sunday evening at the United Church, about the Second Coming of. Christ, Judge- ment Day, entitled "Who love His Ap- pearing". Lenten services will be held each Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m. during the season of Lent at the United Church. Church of God On Wednesday night, the youth group had a Bible study on the Life of Christ, His Divinity, and His Humani- ty. Because of His Divinity, Christ has the power to help us overcome temp- tation, and because of His humanity, He can relate to and sympathize with our temptations. The adult Bible study discussed Genesis 13-14, on the experiences of Lot and Abraham. The Women of the Church of God, under Luucille Vincent, met on Thurs- day morning with delegates from the other special Ecumenical Service will be held on March 7 at the Church of God, beginning at 2 p.m. Sunday morning Pastor Barnhart spoke from Phillipians 2:2-11, on the theme of an ideal Church, based on service. We must follow and imitate Christ's attitude of serving others, rather than being served. On Sunday evening, Pastor Bar- nhart took his theme from Psalm 1, on being rooted in the Word of God. Blessed is the man who is well grounded in the Bible, and studies it as his basis for faith. , Bible class Sixteen ladies attended the Bible Study Tuesday morning at Sauble Court. A hymnsing was led by Millie Desjardine and the opening prayer given by Jean Dykstra. They contineud their studies on "Heart Trouble", concluding that God is not pleased with those areas of our lives where we exclude Him. They began Chapter 2 based on Psalm 51:10, 'Create in me a clean heart, 0 God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.' Doris Peebles led the lesson this week, and Pearl Chamberlain gave the dosing prayer. beside the Greed Bend lagMN1 n*/, 405.
