Lucan United Church was decorated in quite an original and somewhat unorthodox manner for Father's Day; boots, sprayed and fill- ed with flowers. This original idea came from Marguerite McDonald and Dona Van Arenthals. The scripture passage was Ephe- sians 6:1-20 and the text "Four needs of the Modern Father", an extreme- ly timely and thought provoking sub- ject for Father's Day. Devotion for and pride in fathers does not need a special date; they are the fighters in time of war and the providers for the family in most cases - but this provi- sion extends beyond the physical needs into the spiritual well being of his family. Fathers must keep a constant faith and witness. Dedication without the proper armour in this modern socie- ty would be fatal. The type of family is determined by the father - What his priorities are: his work which must lie honest and deserve his best efforts, $ports and family recreation in its proper place; enjoying everything together as a family unit with a Chris- . tian father as head is indeed a great blessing. All through history - world leaders and great men of prominence who have had poor relationships with their fathers, the consequences were * in later years sorrowfully predictable. The -father must not allow himself to be influenced by the code of the day, however popular, but to keep the high standard that God our Heavenly father has given to us in His son Jesus Christ.

Local seniors choose slate OPTIMISTS DONATE TO ARENA — Bob Davis of the Lucan Optimists presents a cheque to Lucan Community Centre chairman Howard McDonald to complete a recent donation of $5,000 towards the out- side project at the arena. T -A photo Host Lion Heart oppose law on Rev. Roger Mason Sunday morning spoke from John 14:6-14, where Jesus talked about His relationship with His Father God. Psalm 103 talks of the relationship between Father God and Israel. God is also Father to those who have no father. In Christ's prayer life we see an in- timate relationship with God the Father. For Jesus to speak of God as His Father was very radical as the Jews thought of God as a far away Holy God. It was considered very ir- religious and presumptuous for anyone, including Jesus, to consider God as a Father. Except one time on the cross, Jesus always addressed God as His Father. Jesus spoke to His heavenly Father with the same intimacy as one does to someone close to one. Jesus displayed a relationship with God His Father that was totally new then. God wants His children to accept Him on a close personal basis. When a peson's relationship with their earthly father is not that good, that person needs to search the scriptures to learn of the love of our heavenly Father. In Mat- thew 6:1-32 we read of the goodness of our_heavenly Father towards his children. Also from these verses we get the impression Jesus had a love and af- fection for His father that were un- parelled. ,Jesus communicated with people around Him his relationship with God the Father. In .John 5:17-23 we read how the religious leaders were upset at Jesus calling God His Father. Drums, speakers, microphones, and guitars were prominent on the church platform Sunday evening, for Lion Heart, the musical group from the School of Music of Academy of Performing Arts, at Youth with a Mis- sy�n From Cambridge. Brtice Thom- C , teacher of the group, called them \t'o play their musical instruments as they led in chorus singing. They taught several new songs. Mr. Thomson stated. the group learns technical excellence as well as musical ability. The group has just returned from an evangelistic at centre; homosexuals musical tour of Jamaica. Lion heart sang several worship songs of God's care for us. Lead guitarist Bob Sprenger told of writing Chosen Lamb, a song of Jesus being God's sacrificial Lamb for the sins of the world, before they sang the song. Another song he wrote of Jesus' return to earth in power and judge- ment, was sung and accompanied by very illustrative forceful music. Another group member Lena Pec- chia, wrote a song of God's love for her, I Just had to Thank You, which she sang. Miss Serena Wilson, from Australia, wrote a song, Slow Down, of her experience with God, which she sang, accompanying herself, playing the piano. A talented musician. Guitarist Ron Zacharias, from Manitoba, from his experience of talking to a lonely man, wrote Just an Old Man, which he sang. This song tells us not to overlook a person because of their looks. Mrs. Donna Sprenger, sang I.M. A.G.O.-Dei, that was written by group leader Jim Berger, of God's creating us in His image. Bruce Thomson told of the school being built from the former Waterloo Correctional Centre for girls. They are making it into liveable quarters for the students who pay all their way. Mrs. Thomson is encouraging everyone to pert up planting boxes in the windows to help beautify the buildings. Mr. Thomson closed the evening leading in worship choruses, and in prayer. June 29 Rev. Gary Schlegel will he ministering in both services. ' July 20-21-22, Rev. Ray Brewster, former pastor, now missionary to Haiti, will have special services at Lucan Revival Centre. Urge opposition Last week, Garnet Bloomfield, former M.P , visited church pastors in the area to tell them of pending amendments to the Human Rights Act that can affect all of us. While visiting Rev. Roger Mason, Mr. Bloomfield talked of our government being well on the way to amending the Human Rights Code, which prohibits discrimination of sexual orientation. The amending of the Human Rights Act would moan that society condones homosexual activities. If this amendment is passed, it will mean that the church will not have the right to stop a homosexual from being a pastor. Also, that is if a church expells a homosexual from a church position, that is discrimina- tion. The church will no longer have the right to exclude from its member- ship homosexuals; even though they are acting according to bible teaching to exclude them. This also means that school boards will not be able to exclude a homosex- ual from being a teacher, or expel a homosexual from a teaching position, without being charged with discrimination. This amendment will affect all aspects of society. To neglect to not write to your M.P. against this proposed amendment is allowing it to he passed, then having to live with the results. All those who are against this pro- posed amendment are urged to write their local M.P., to the Prime Minister, and Mr. Crosbie to voice Buoh -.ATOM OS TY, ACCOUNTANT -PUBLIC Chartered Accountants P.O.
