T -A photo Held at Delaware Middlesex Consorvatives en I feel like I should say "I told you so". If you can recall last week I did mention the fact that with Marg Smith at the throttle, and our three new vice presidents in charge of the "Vice" things would happen m Mid- dlesex county with the Ontario P.C. Association - and happen they did. With election of officers just a few hours into the history books it was time kr the annual P.C. picnic. Sun- day, August 17 it was held in the Delaware Lions Park with an overflow crowd in attendance. From what information I could glean, Nan- cy Robson, of Lobo township was the chief organizer or head picnicker. She had as her capable first and second mates, Joan Dobbie, London twp. and Jean Glover, Delaware. These three people deserve a lot of credit for the smoothness which accompanied this feast. Nancy had all the work delegated -- then she went around making sure that everything was working proper- ly. She reminded me so much of her father who always carried a very large oil canon all his machinery. He used to say that he would "sooner see a little oil drip than listen to a squeak". Nancy learned her lesson well. She saw a lot of big drips on Sun- day, but no one squeaked. She had them too full of food. It seems at these pot luck affairs that everyone brings enough food for their six kids even if they have all moved to Vancouver three years ago. After all the food was consumed, everyone that could walk went out to the ball park area. Steve Pelkman, vice-president of the young people was captain of one team. He had Sue Maddeford as the pitcher and the cat- cher was Jean Glover. I was sure the circus must be in town and some of HAND OUT SEELSTER PROGRAMS — Handing out programs during Sunday's Open House at Seelster Farms at Lucan were Nancy Van Bussel, Tina -Marie Van Boxmeer and Mike and Brian Van Bussel.

The Middlesex County Board of Education SCHOOL OPENING IL BUS ROUTES School,xear 1986 - 87 Middlesex County public elementary and secondary schools open on Tuesday, September 2 at regular school opening times.

Actual route maps will be published in the Lambeth News -Star and Strathroy Age Dispatch. Questions regarding transportation matters should be directed to Mr. Keith Grigg at 471-3510. G.E. Reycraft F.S. Toll Chairman Director of Education 'd • Revival Centre Rev. Roger Mason Sunday morning from Acts 1: 6-8, ministered on facing a special task. Because every Jew had a vision of the nation being restored to a powerful kingdom, the disciples asked Jesus if He were go- ing to restore the kingdom at that time. The kingdom Jesus started then was in the hearts of men. This is still a reality. Jesus told the disciples the time of restoring the kingdom of Israel was not for them to know. Instead Jesus told them they would receive power to be witnesses for Him. Jews prided themselves on be- ing God's chosen people that should be a powerful nation. But instead the Jews since Solomon have not known a united kingdom. The Jews thought when the Messiah came He would restore the kingdom. But this will not come until Jesus returns to reign on earth. Just like the Jews speculate about the kingdom, we often speculate about our future being much improv- ed. But future dreams without present plans are an illusion. Jesus told His disciples not to worry about the future kingdom of Israel, but to think about the present of being filled with power by the Holy Spirit. Sunday evening Rev. Roger Mason spoke from I Thessalonians 4:13-18. Paul was trying to encourage the Thessalonians with this revelation. Some who look at this term of the church scoff at it. The phrase caught up is referring to the bodily removal of believers of the church to meet the Lord in the air. It has been the expec- tion of the church. The rapture involves a change in location of the church, the believers, from the earth to the air, and ultimately to heaven. In John 14:2-3 Jesus promised when Ile returned He would take His believers to be with Him.— The rapture involves being receiv- ed into Christ's presence as verse 17 states. The rapture also involves a permanent reunion with loved ones who were believers. 1 Corinthians 15:52-53 tells us the rapture means ours bodies will be changed into immortal bodies. The rapture will also bring believers into some of the glory that 4'hrist has when believers will have changed positions to rule with Jesus according to 1 Peter 5:6. Upcoming Events Sunday August ,31 - Andrew and Kathy Eastmond, travelling evangelists from LISA will be singing and preaching in both services. Sunday September 7'l.arry Crit- tenden will be speaking at the even- ing service and Sunday September 14 Mr. Bill Davies will be speaking at both services. ONLY YQU CAN GIVE THE GIFT, OF LIFE! Y the clowns had infiltrated our picnic. It was fact that Sue did throw the balls at, on, or near the person that was standing on home plate. Some of the batters figured they were in some kind of a war zone the way those volleys came over time and again. I guess one would have to conclude that Sue is small but mighty. Standing behind the plate and direc- ting the traffic all over the park was Jean Glover or Jovial Jean as her team mates called her. There is no doubt that she should be sore for a week after bending over so many times to pick up the balls that Sue slung along the ground. I would have to think that Sue may be a darn good bowler. (probably 10 pins). The local photographer was near home plate and Jean was overheard saying as a runner rounded third base for home "whatever you do short stop, --. don't throw that ball at me. Is this what is known as (confidence personified)? The other team to take to the field United Church This was the first official Sunday at Lucan United Church with the Shaules, our new ministers and it would appear we are in for a very ex- citing time. What your heart "knows", your face must "show" and your voice "tell" - naturally, without restraint and without inhibitions. The sermon was entitled "Being Real" - God made us and He knows all about us - Moses knew his weakness and his shortcomings and was perfectly honest with God when He called him to be His leader of the children of Israel. The secret of a successful Christian life is an awareness of just who we are and what little we have to offer our King and in spite of it all He does use us. Our prayers for the sick are im- portant and necessary if our loved ones are to be returned to health and strength again. Mr. Shaule talked to the children about Zacchaeus who was a wealthy tax collector, he was dishonest. Most children know the story but from a different angle. he was the short man who climbed a tree to see the Lord. The fact that the Lord chose a crook, a sinner, to entertain Him shows up the Lord's compassion and the miracle of a changed heart. The Shaules are both beautiful singers and should you drive up some Sunday morning and notice the roof slowly rising this could be the reason. Everyone else sings better as well. It was truly a soul -stirring service and if you missed it, I'm sorry, make every effort to be in Church next Sun- day morning at 10:00 a.m., you will be glad you d.id.

Flowers in the sanctuary were in memory of Arthur Hodgins by his family members. under the watchful eye of Vice Peter McBirnie. Now Peter over did it a wee bit at the dinner table so he placed himself way out in left field so the ac- tivities would not be that great. He spent a lot of time trying to catch a killdeer. Did no one ever tell Peter that those darn birds just pretend to have a broken wing? The last time any one saw Peter he was under the overpass on the 401 at Lambeth, still following that stupid bird. Marg Smith looked every bit a champion and a leader when she got up to bat and with her unorthodox bat- ting stance sent the ball down the middle and got herself a two bagger. Margaret was in charge of a survey to pick the oldest person at the picnic. We all sort of figured this prize would be between Peter McBirnie and.Jim oar plcnic Smith, as it turned out Mrs. Glover from Port Hope was the uncontested winner. She is some relation to the Glovers that met at third base during the "dy- ing" moments of the ball game. There was also a prize for the youngest P.C. at the picnic. This went to 6 month old Dana McCutcheon, daughter of Stu and Suzanne McCutcheon, West Nissouri. This event was billed as a family picnic, and as old fashioned as it seems, that is just what it was. Every one had a good time, -- good food, -- and the very best of companionship. Everyone, I am sure will be looking forward to the one to be held next year. Let's all try to be there and bring a friend with us, this is a case of the more the merrier.
