Times-Advocate, 1986-03-12, Page 9• Service clubs interested • Times -Advocate, March 12, 1986 Reeve voices concerns .on sewer expansion, senor housing At Tuesday's regular meeting of Lucan coarct, reeve Norm Steeper voiced concerns over the proposed sewage expansion program and seniors housing on the village proper- ty on Market Street. Buildings on the former turnip plant property have been removed by Total Demolition Limited for the tender prig of 84,500. On the senior housing subject, Steeper said there is an urgency to make a decision. He said council has received an excellent proposal from The Villa; owner Bill Nieuwland to establish senior units without public funding. ' The reeve said a cloud has arisen were given first and mond readings. Benner said the first was simply a bylaw approving engineering and tendering and the second was to set sewer' rates. He added, "Two readings are to allow the Ministry to th plans." Jie said the annual rate would be 885.13 for each property for 25 years or 8585.06 if a lump sum payment is made and continued. "There is no reason to believe these rates will not be approved." Any properties not served now would be required to pay 8585.06 when they do hook up. Council received word from the Ministry of Natural Resources that there would be a provincial tunding fora special assessment of 839 on the Bean munieipal drain. Approval baa been given to the Mikchell-Seefotth Cable TV Company tp proceed with pians to install a cable .television In the village. • A pr from New Venture Satellite to wasi Withdrawn since that m� dthe � have an application The proposed cable rate for Lucan IV local Swift clubs have voiced their opinion that the project should not be a private egterprise. - Steeper added, "Their concerns come about six months too Late We advertised for proposab months ago and Nieuwland was the only one ,to respond." About the sewer expansion Steeper said, -"although it will provide service for another 300 units, I'm not sure it will fix our flooding problems. He continued, "We should consider the engineer's report on sump pumps and a village generator."

We often lose our grip on proper priorities when we "let the urgent take the place of the important in our lives", said Dr. Swindoll. To avoid missing God's best for our lives in this way, we need to search out God's priorities for us in the Scrip- tures. Ile identified four such essen- tials for each Christian and for every congregation: be biblical; be authen- tic; be compassionate, be relevant. Don and Beth Miller hosted the meeting, and Dale and Linda Froats acted as welcome committee. The film was followed by coffee and discussion.

Women's Ministry at Revival centre Sunday morning the Women's Ministries conducted the service. Vice president Mrs. Cathy Mason led in prayer. Mrs. Tina Sumner read Psal 33. Mrs. Judith Ross sang He Brir_ Sacrifice of Praise before leading all in singing. Mrs. Ross showed a juice carton to the Children's Church children. When she turned in upside down it was empty. Mrs. Ross told the children some people are empty inside too. Instead they should be full of joy of the Lord. Mrs. Martha Bulter accompanied herself playing her guitar as she sang If you've Never known the Love of Jesus. Rev. Roger Mason spoke from John 6:5-13, the miracle of Jesus' feeding over 5000 people with five barley loaves and 2 little fish. This looked tike an impossible situation with so many hungry people to be fed. But nothing is impossible with God. Jesus asked Philip, a disciple, where they could find food to feed all those peo- ple, testing him. Jesus knew what Ile intended to do. God knows what He can do in our seemingly impossible situations. Philip's response was of a pessimistic realist, that the needs could'not be met, overlooking Jesus' ability to work a miracle. Andrew brought a lad with five barley loaves, and two tittle fish, but acted with a pessimistic hopeless at- titude towards the need. There are a lot of Andrews overwhelmed by what looks impossible. Five barley loaves and two fishes handed over to Jesus statisfied this crowd of people. Whatever we have. no matter how small, when turned over to God, can work miracles. Rev. Roger Mason ministered from Acts 4:13-22, the story of Peter and John being called before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish high court, because of the man lame from birth being healed when Peter and John had prayed for him. The Sanhedrin could not deny this miracle, but they questioned by what power they had done it. Larry Campsall, D.D.S. DENTAL SURGEON Wishes to announce the opening of his office for the practice of dentistry at 2(X) MAIN STREET LUCAN, ONTARIO NOM 2J0 Phone: 227-4483 By Appointment r - The Sanhedrin saw the man who had been healed standing with Peter and John. Dismissing them, the Sanhedrin conferred they could not deny the miracle. But they did not want the radical teaching of Peter and John continued. Like Jesus' ministry, they ministered with com- passion and love in action. Peter and John were zealous for the cause of Christ. Being warned not to speak any more in the name of Jesus, they replied with great courage they could not stop speaking what they had seen and heard. They had been com- missioned directly by Jesus. Upcoming events Sunday, March 16, Christianview Bible College students will be in charge of the morning service.

They presented the need for vegetable seeds in Zaire, Zambia and Angola, and explained the project which has been under- taken by London Conference United Church Women to help the peasant farmers of these nations. They invited the congregation to participate during the next two Sun- days in our local U.C.W.'s Easter Thankoffering which is to be directed this. year to this project. Sharon Newman and Greg welcom- ed the congregation, and Jean Brown told the children about Dean's discovery that Jesus is our King as well as our Friend. Winnie Robichaud capably assisted at the piano during the service. • Rev.- Brown continued with his Lenten series on the Seven Signs in John's Gospel. Dealing with the miracle of turning water into wine at the Wedding in Cana,. he pointed out that evidences of the great love of God we see in this sign can assist us to have an attitude of confident trust in the Lord. Christ's participation in this impor- tant eventin the life of this young cou- ple and their family reminds us that He wants to be a part of all aspects of our life tdday. We see His claim to be God's Son in His reply to Mary, and recognize that we must not tell Him what to do, but rather ask Him, and allow Him to use His own timing. His lavish supply of the need speaks of His adequacy and His desire to meet all our needs, and the wine reminds us of His blood poured out for us, sufficient for the salvation of all men.
