Peebles gave his sermon in the series based on the Apostles Creed- "I believe in the Holy Spirit". He brought out three main points, that the Holy Spirit is a sign of life, of power and of fellowship. The Holy Spirit will convict, cleanse, guide and lead us into all truth, producing in us the fruits of joy, love and peace, and giving us the power to be more effec- tive witnesses for Him. May we be us- ed as channels through which the Ho- ly Spirit can carry on the work of His Kingdom.

No. 21 and Flooring Centre 238 8603 Grand Bend reader at the 11 a.m. mass, Roberta Walker was the centor, and the choir sang a special hymn, "Allelu" at Communion time. Father Vince questioned the true meaning of wishing others a "Happy Easter". Is that expression based on the old Hebrew "Shalom", which asked for all of God's material bless- ings on someone? Or is it more close- ly translated to "Peace Be With You", as Christ greeted the Apostles. Then He breathed the Holy Spirit upon them and gave them the power to forgive sins. Wishing a "Happy Easter" then, asks that God will breath a new spirit of renewal into our lives, to fill us with His Holy Spirit. Then we may be sent forth, as the Apostles were, to bring others into His Eternal life. Each family may obtain a supply of Holy water, to be filled from the vases at the Baptismal font at the front of the Church, from the Blessing of the Waters at Easter. Father, Morrissey would like to thanleall those who made the Holy Week - Easter celebrations so beautiful: the choir, the junior choir and the director, the organist, the law readers, altar boys, lay communion distributors and thoese who cleaned and decorated the church, the creators of the chocolate Easter eggs,. and all the Parishioners who faithful- ly attended the weekly devotions all through Lent.

Bible Class There were 17 ladies out for the Community Bible Study Tuesday morning at Sauble Court. The open- ing prayer was given by Nita Sinclair and the hymnsing led by Millie Desjardine. They studied the chapter on the "Contented Heart", from the workshop on "Heart Trouble". They were happy to learn that a contented heart is within their grasp for Jesus said, " Do not let your hearts be troubled, but trust in God and trust also in me." John 4:1 They should not let envy and worry destroy their contentment but trust in the Lord to work all things out for good.
