Revisal Contr� Blossom tea today
Rev. Roger Mason, Sunday morn-
ing, spoke frau Acts 2:14, about the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit) The
word Pentecost means fifty, 50 days
after Christ's resurrection. This is the
Jewish Feast of Pentecost or Weeks.
The Feast of Pentecost was a
memorial to Moses giving the law
from God, and also a day to celebrate
the end of harvest.
Pentecost was the birth of the
church. When the disciples first
received the gift of the Holy Spirit,
there were crowds of people of many
languages in Jerusalem for the Feast
of Pentecost. The disciples could
preach to them.
God sends Pentecost at the right
. time. Old Testament prophets, John
the Baptist and Jesus talked about the
coming of the Holy Spirit. The Holy
Spirit came at the right time. The
disciples were all in the right place
with the right attitude, spending time
in prayer.
The Holy Spirit came suddenly
without reservation to God's people.
With the coming of the Holy Spirit
there was the sound of a mighty wind,
speaking of the great power of the Ho-
ly Spirit. The disciples showed this

United Church
Lucan United Church received in-
to full membership three young peo-
ple and an adult at a service of Con-
firmation and Communion on Sunday
morning. Those making vows of com-
mitment to Christ and His Church
were Mary Holden, Kelly Thompson,
Ian Barr, and Elnora Raycraft.
Parents or close relatives assisted in
the service as they laid hands upon
those being confirmed.
Clerk of Session Linda Froats
presented each with a Bible as a
remembrance of this special
occasion.
Rev.Brown's message was entitled
"The Church Jesus Made". The ear-
ly Church consisted of those who were
touched and redeemed by God's
Grace and whose lives were changed
as a result. They were Spirit -filled
people who were allowing the Holy
Spirit to take charge of their lives,
and who were filled with His joy as a
result.
They were those who had
discovered Christ's overcoming
power through prayer, and who
shared Christ with others in a desire
to win them also. They were a caring,
loving people who broke down the
barriers that divide people, and a
worshipping people who were drawn
together with others who loved Jesus
and wanted to bring Him praise.
Mr. Brown challenged those pre-
sent to evaluate themselves personal-
ly by those standards, to reach out for
the help God gives, and thus to
become a church which can minister
effectively in our needy world of
today.
service concluded ' with a
celebration of the Lord's Supper.
Sharon Blaine with Rebecca welcom-
ed the congregation to the service,
and later was assisted by Judy Camp-
bell in receiving the offering.
