New minister at
Lutheran Church
St. Peter's Lutheran Church in
Zurich has a new minister. Rev.
Stephen Alles is settling in to his first
pastorate after graduating from
Waterloo Lutheran Seminary this
spring.
The 26 -year-old native of Halibur-
ton will be able to provide both
spiritual and earthly direction.
Although his faith has always been an
important part of his life, Alles first
graduated from Wilfred Laurier
University with a degree in
geography. Involvement with the
Lutheran Students movement, and
his father's advice to "keep ministry
in mind" contributed to an increasing
pull to the ministry.
By his second year, Alles had decid-
ed on his future calling. On gradua-
tion in 1982 he began his four-year
course at the seminary.
Alles confided that his father is
seriously considering becoming a
minister too. The son is relishing the
possibility of his father "following in
his son's footsteps."
Alles preached initially in Zurich in
January. He was interviewed by the
St. Peter's council, and recommend-
ed to the congregation. An affir-
mative vote confirmed his calling to
Zurich.
Alles, his wife Mary Ann and
daughter Katie moved into the Zurich
parsonage in late spring, and he first
occupied the pulpit as pastor of St.
Peter's the first Sunday in May. He •
was ordained on June 20 in an im-
pressive ceremony held in St. Peter's
Basilica in London. (This church was
chosen because of its beautiful setting
and large seating capacity.)
Alles has two goals for his Zurich
ministry. His personal desire is to
faithfully preach the gospel with
STEPHEN ALLES
authority, so people will come to know
the grace and love of God. His hope
for his congregation is that they will
grow in faith and knowledge.
"We are a redeemed community
through Christ's sacrifice. All other
aspects flow through the redemption
of Christ", Alles said.
July 16 deadline for Queen
Zurich Fair will be here before you

quet and trophy, among other gifts.
The 1985 fair queen, Jody Hay, en-

ed two days at the Royal York in

Before you trade your RRSP
for an annuity, we have
just two words to say.
Control.And flexibiityi
Because if you roll over your RRSP into an annuity, that's what
you'll be losing.
On the other hand, with an Industrial Croup of Funds RRIF,
you'll set the pay -out rate (with no waiting, and no annual
maximum, from as many plans as you care to set-up)... you'll
choose the investments ... you'll direct any estate planning —
and you'll have the right to transfer at any time.
But beyond control and flexibility, there's one other thing you
won't get with an annuity: the potential for growth.
So the choice is simple: what would you rather have ...
control, flexibility and potential growth, or an annuity?
Before you make up your mind, please return the coupon
